Pay your tax

Activists dressed as tax collectors and doctors, accompanied by a giant piggy bank, presented a tax bill to Virgin Care on Wednesday (March 25), following the revelation that the firm continues to bid for NHS contracts despite extensive use of tax havens.

Protesters from The Peoples NHS have joined forces with UKUncut following a new report from Unite the union, which revealed Virgin Care’s lucrative NHS deals and tax haven status.

The demonstration was held just one day before Virgin Care won a ÂŁ280m contract to run NHS healthcare in East Staffordshire.
