The Guardian kicks off a two week investigation into the extent of tax avoidance in major UK companies, with blogs, slideshows and interactive widgets aplenty. We feel we should point out though that the site's strapline: "The TUC's £12bn tax gap would pay for 300 new hospitals" actually refers to TUC estimations of tax avoidance in the top 700 companies – not to our own accounts!

If you haven’t already, take a look at The Guardian’s excellent piece on corporate tax avoidance today. It’s the first of a number of articles revealing the complexity and extent of big business tax scams. Lots of references to the TUC’s own work I’m glad to say. There is also a Panorama report on the BBC tonight on tax haven abuse. As I’ve written elsewhere, the momentum for change in this area grows daily.
