Apple, Chevron and JP Morgan targeted in new Get Up! TV campaign on tax avoidance
Activist group Get Up! will tomorrow launch a national TV campaign centred around the idea that individual taxpayers pay more local tax than some big corporations.
The new campaign highlights how the likes of tech giant Apple paid only a little over 1% per tax on almost $6bn in total revenues in Australia, last year, and aims to raise pressure on the Coalition to reform the tax laws.
Get Up! campaigns director Natalie O’Brien said multinational corporations were deliberately inflating their losses to shifting their profits overseas.
Countdown to Get Up complaining about TV stations not running this.
Wow. Kudos.
He kept a straight face all the time.
like the tobacco companies all over again
Part 1 as is the best as it has nurse and mentions Apple who everyone know
No 1 is the better ad
Someone need to explain the difference between revenue and profit to the children at getup.
So you are happy that 677 large companies booked $450 billion of revenue but happened to make ZERO profit for the year? (Yes I think Getup knows the difference between revenue and profit – and I think that they know that 30% of zero = zero).
That doesn’t sound a bit odd to you?
I suggest you need to take your blinkers off, climb down from your ivory tower, and have a good hard think about how destructive that corporate tax avoidance and evasion is to our nation and our future.
