Palantir paid just £2.1m UK corporation tax in 2024
‘Palantir was willing to spend more on securing political access than almost all of its British and Continental competitors. It made donations to London think tanks and hosted parties at Davos.’ @petergeoghegan.bsky.social and @lucasamin.bsky.social: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...
Demand Palantir's removal from any contracts with UK taxpayer funded organisations.
England is an inroad to the west. Beware of Thiel.
They are an insidious, right wing, militaristic waste of our NHS's money.
You are letting the devil himself into your country. You are supposed to be smarter than the USA. Prove it.
We don't want them either
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.
Preconditions 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.
Hmm "UK Govt rewarding it..." begs the question. Who is Palantir rewarding?
