Palantir paid just £2.1m UK corporation tax in 2024
Palantir hoovering up European defence and NHS contracts whilst funnelling earnings back to the US to pay negligible corporate tax is a complete failure of digital sovereignty. European states must stop enriching tech firms that drain public coffers. Is it time to ban them? #FBPE
Ian.🇦🇺🇬🇧🦅8European governments need to start treating some American firms as state sponsored enemies. Trump has no respect for Europe and the companies helping him keep power won't pick European interests over Trump's America.
Alias- Alien7Tax laws for corporate thieves need to change in the EU and UK big time
cubicquois.bsky.social6Don’t even know why a European would want anything to do with Palantir to start with. Not just hovering up contracts but your personal data too.
Zigzaggreen🇨🇦5Get Palantir out of your systems as soon as possible. They lie and steal your information.
MsBlueWednesday5Yes. Ban them imo. They’re basically milking us dry.
Chris S5Palantir is owned by fascists. They funnel money to our fascist regime. Europe shouldn’t be funding fascism.
fife4europe #FBPE #RejoinEU6Palantir calling its Q2 profits "otherworldly" is one way to describe powering state surveillance. 🛸 Turns out dodging "parasitic" AI models pays far better than worrying about human rights! #Palantir
Tony Roberts3Fascist tax dodgers bloated by UK government contracts

Alterskompetenz.info2Dass #Palantir europäische Verteidigungs- und NHS-Aufträge an sich reißt und gleichzeitig Gewinne in die USA zurückfließen lässt. Völliges Versagen der digitalen Souveränität. Die EU müssen aufhören, Tech-Unternehmen zu bereichern, die die öffentlichen Kassen leeren.
Palantir paid just £2m corporation tax in UK in 2024 despite £247m revenue, £25.3m profit. Doesn't pay much anywhere, effective global tax rate is 1.4% Shifts profits through intragroup transactions, enjoys tax breaks. UK Govt rewarding it with public contracts, enriching execs & shareholders.
Mary Corcoran9Preconditions for securing government contracts. Pay full taxes; no phantom companies; pay at least living wage; permit union membership; publish all bids post-tender competition; delete ‘commercial confidentiality’ clauses for public disclosure/transparency; fine companies hard for under-pricing.
christhecatsmum.bsky.social5Hmm "UK Govt rewarding it..." begs the question. Who is Palantir rewarding?
John Martin🇪🇺🔶 #FBPPR 👩❤️👨+👫🐶 Rtd🚒 #GetPRDone3When will this ever end? Everyone should pay their fair share.
📎Bert1PALANTIR is dangerous as it aims to implement the surveillance state. It is ORWEL2026
Andy Hemming9Just numbers (And tax evasion?)
Kevin 🏴🇪🇺💚 #VoteGreen5#Labour are not on our side. They’re backing the wealthy, big tax-dodging corporations, & privatised companies. This govt is no different under #Burnham as it was under #Starmer.
kaybell27.bsky.social3Why are we paying our taxes when big business is still avoiding it, the corrupt, wicked and unethical are ignored.
A £240m contract with the Ministry of Defence, a £330m deal with the NHS, but only £2m of tax in the UK 🤔 https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/aug/05/palantir-corporation-tax-uk-2024-accounting-practices
Seven of Nine Fan 🇪🇺🇺🇦🇬🇱🌍🖖🏼3The welfare we need to cut is corporate welfare, including tax concessions and creative accounting. And why oh why are we giving taxpayers' money to companies like Palantir in any case?
Anita White1Tax these companies the full amount and use the money on defence for Ukraine.
Rachel Fox1Tech companies pay 2% tax, so that includes Google, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Apple, Ebay and others. Why? They’re seen as necessary. Don’t know why when you can use alternatives, many of which are open source. We need to tax these huge corporations that steal and sell our data or regulate them.
🤑 We pay. You pay. Palantir doesn’t. A new report finds that #Palantir is paying little to no corporate tax in Europe while expanding its influence over public services, policing, defence and national security. 💲 Public money in. Almost no tax out. Read the report: www.epsu.org/article/pala...
ITUC6Public money should fund public services—not reward aggressive tax avoidance. A new report reveals how Palantir benefits from public contracts across Europe while paying almost no corporate tax through complex corporate structures. Meanwhile, workers and citizens are left to shoulder the cost 👇👇
Diego Naranjo6Really important report on one of the most dangerous corporations out there. With a founder saying that democracy and freedom are incompatible, a manifesto that could be the "rambling of a super villain" (www.theguardian.com/technology/2...) and an obvious disregard for human rights.
