PwC tax advice under spotlight after Luxembourg leaks

Leaks relating to tax arrangements for 340 multinationals, many of them tax clients of PwC, have produced angry responses from the Big Four accountancy giant.

Luxembourg

PwC said that questions put to it by journalists were based on ‘outdated’ and ‘stolen’ information, ‘the theft of which is in the hands of the relevant authorities’. The documents relate to tax arrangements for Heinz, JP Morgan, Pepsi and many other household names. UK manufacturer Dyson, for instance, saved ‘millions in tax’, paying 1% in Luxembourg on some of its activities.
