Setting the Record Straight on Starbucks UK Taxes and Profitability
Following reports about how Starbucks pays tax and reports profit in the UK, some of you may have been left with the wrong impression of Starbucks commitment to the UK.
For 14 years, Starbucks has been honored to serve you. During that time we have grown to more than 750 stores and today we employ nearly 8,500 partners (employees) here. With every visit to your country over the years, I have been personally touched by the warm reception I have received from our customers and partners, and I have the deepest respect for the millions of people with whom Starbucks connects directly and indirectly across the UK.
This is why I would like to address three misconceptions that have circulated about Starbucks during the past 10 days, and provide you with greater visibility into our business.
First, Starbucks has never avoided paying taxes in the UK. Let me be clear: Starbucks has always paid taxes in the UK despite recent suggestions to the contrary. In every country where we do business, Starbucks adheres to both the letter and spirit of the law regarding our business practices, and the UK is no exception. In fact, since we entered the UK market in 1998, we have consistently paid all taxes as required. Over the last three years alone, our company has paid more than 160 million pounds in various taxes, including National Insurance contributions, VAT and business rates.
We have always worked closely with the appropriate tax authorities in the UK, U.S. and Netherlands – where our Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) business is headquartered – to ensure mutual agreement and transparency regarding our tax obligations, including corporate income tax, which is based on taxable profits. Regrettably, Starbucks has only recorded a profit for UK tax purposes three times in the past 14 years (2006-2008). We will continue to respectfully engage in any dialogue HMRC officials would like to have with us.
Secondly, Starbucks consistently adheres to the local accounting rules and tax laws everywhere we do business. As a U.S. based publicly traded corporation, Starbucks is obliged to follow U.S. securities law and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) when speaking with our shareholders. U.S. accounting rules stipulate that our taxable income in regional markets, such as the UK, be calculated before accounting for the impact of intercompany license and interest payments.
At the same time, we are committed to respecting and complying with the tax laws of each of the 61 countries where we do business. In the UK, tax law requires that Starbucks and other companies calculate their taxable income after accounting for the impact of intercompany license and interest charges. As a result of the differences in these reporting requirements, there have been past instances when we have communicated to shareholders that the UK has been profitable, albeit a small profit, while at the same time in the UK we had no taxable income to report, and thus no corporate income taxes to pay. Even if we excluded all intercompany license fees and interest payments, our UK margins in our most profitable year were in the mid-single digits, well below our targets and our most profitable markets. Our low profitability in the UK is completely unrelated to any kind of license fees or intercompany payments, it is unfortunately due to a number of historical operating and cost challenges, which we are working hard to change.
Thirdly, Starbucks European structure has no impact on our taxable profit in the UK. Despite what has been implied, Starbucks European structure has no impact on our taxable profit in the UK. In fact, the license fees we deduct for UK tax purposes are frequently negotiated and renegotiated between Starbucks and local country tax authorities.
The license fees incurred across these markets are nearly the same (regardless of whether a licensee is company-owned or a third party) and do not affect regional differences in profitability. Additionally, when you combine the license fees and marketing contributions required by many other multinational retailers, Starbucks license fees are the same or less than our competitors.
As a final point of comparison regarding tax payments, it is worth mentioning that Starbucks global effective tax rate was 32.3% for the first nine months of our fiscal year 2012 compared to the 18.5% average for other large, U.S. multinational companies.
Starbucks remains committed to the UK market for the long term. We have always believed that to be successful we must do our best to strike a balance between profitability and social responsibility, and we will continue to strive to meet our own high ethical standards for how we care for our people, source our coffee, serve communities and operate in the countries where we do business.

In 2007 your COO said that the UK unit's profits were funding Starbucks' expansion overseas. Your CFO added that the UK enjoyed profit margins of almost 15% - nearly £50m in profit.
A year later, after filing a £26m loss, your told investors the business here was so successful he planned to apply the lessons in the US. Your CFO called the UK business "profitable" in 2009.
Plus, if a business has been losing money for 14 years, then you close it or sack those responsible!
So, who is lying?

These comments were said to investors during regular reporting calls. I would be delighted to read either the transcripts made by Reuters or any provided by Starbucks.
The whole issue is that Starbucks tells investors the UK makes profits but reports to the tax man that they make a loss.
So Simon, pointing antio to reports just shows a fundamental lack of understanding of the issues.

Starbucks should use their very smart accountants to make sure that the maximum amount of tax is paid each year. You are making huge profits from people that, on the whole, pay ALL the tax they're supposed to. I like your coffe, comfy seats and tasty snacks. I have spent a lot of money in your stores in the last 3 years and my son loves your hot chocolate - we will never again spend a single penny in Starbucks. Greed greed greed, makes me so angry.

Hi Antonio... Starbucks' server has a mysterious fault that won't let me comment. May I piggy back?
Dear Howard S
1) We pay VAT on your coffee, you merely collect it.
2) Business rates are allowable as a deduction on arriving at the profit on which Corporation Tax would be payable. You might pay it, but you claim it back. Disingenuous? I think so.
3) Ditto Employers' National Insurance.
Plus everything Antonio says.
Pay your taxes!

Dear Mr. Schultz
Any company that loses money every year bar one over a 15 year period is either incompetent or tax avoiding...or maybe money laundering. Obviously you are avoiding tax and myself and friends will boycott you until you pay your 15 years of overdue tax. If one of your stores goes up in flames do you call the Amsterdam Fire Service? Stupid question I know but that's where you pay your European taxes. Try calling the Geneva Police when your stores are invaded. Good luck with that!

I have to admit that I was going to boycott Starbucks before reading your correction of the wrong impression. However i realise that as a single taxpaying customer that would have very little effect. Now that I have fully understood the depth of your depravity and the height of your arrogance, I have decided that instead I will have to stop ALL of your customers and do everything possible, within both the letter and the spirit of the law of course, to bring down your whole immoral organisation.

And you, Mr Schultz, may have the wrong impression of what VAT is. Starbucks doesn't pay VAT at all - your customers do. You just collect it. Just for the record, more than half of your £160m figure is VAT.

Dear Mr Schultz,
From reading your attempt at defending your company's position, it seems to me that you simply don't understand the anger you and your company have caused to the UK public and your customers who you seem to have have very little respect for. Despite not paying your fair share in the UK, your response above also comes with the aroma of pure arrogance. I now feel sick at the fact that I've given you my money for the last 8 years. As of today it's Costa Coffee all the way!!!
- TinHerts
- 25/10/2012 00:41
....Mr Schultz, I think you're forgetting that you're not dealing with the average American here, the people of the UK are generally switched on and it's very difficult to pull the wool over our eyes... VAT is paid by your customers every time they make a purchase and National Insurance comes out of your employee's minimum wage salaries... It doesn't matter how you dress this up the only reason Starbucks doesn't pay UK taxes is out of GREED and nothing more! Sprinkle chocolate on that!

Stop the spin, your company is worming its way out of paying back a reasonable amount of tax back into the UK - at a time when it is vital to do so. It's disgusting. You have lost my custom; and while Starbucks continues its current financial practices I will not spend a penny on anything you produce.

I appreciate that you allow me to comment on your statement. Most people who have already commented have pointed out that VAT is a tax on the customer not on your company as well as the fact NI comes out of your employees salaryies. For the last 3 years a group of IT homeworkers have met twice weekly in Starbucks for a coffee and catch up. However as a group we have decided to move to Costa in future who at least pay some corporation tax on their profits in the same way we IT Contractors do.

Considering the money I have spent at Starbucks in the UK, daily over the last 5 years, I would expect the normal proportion of that money to be paid back by Starbucks into the UK tax system, so that we can keep the country going, with things like road-building, policing, basic services, prisons etc. How else do Starbucks' executives think these things are paid for? Oh yes, by us.
- 1manirishguy
- 31/10/2012 05:27
I've been going to your stores for over 4 years now, on a daily basis.
I would always get my morning coffee as I started work. I work for the NHS and tax that you should've paid would, in theory go to funding my wages.
I was logging on here hoping against hope that you would have declared that you made a mistake and would change your current tax practices. I'm saddened that this isn't the case.
I will continue to get my coffee elsewhere until something changes.

Having assessed the wider view from various outlets, I can only conclude that Starbuck's must continue their commitment to pay the applicable taxes in this country. The quality of their products and service are great, but being socially responsible, ethically and fiscally is important otherwise many people will get upset, and I know from my point of view that big companies tend to be scrutinised by all sides really harshly, leaving such companies with little room for error.
- ggreaves

The tone of the response came across as finger waving autocrat teacher and is an excellent example of how to get it wrong in spectacular style. "Setting the record straight" and "Firstly...Secondly...Thirdly"? If the intention was to annoy customers, mission accomplished. If that was not the case then this was an epic fail and a missed opportunity.

Y11 Annual Report Pg 11: "We are increasingly dependent on the success of our international operations in order to achieve our growth targets." & "In particular, our Canada, Japan, UK, and China MBUs account for a significant portion of the net revenue and earnings of our international operations...". Do expand on paragraph 7 regarding the UK because the UK is grouped in Europe, Middle East, Africa and Russia.

For many years I have been a Starbucks fan, I like the coffee, the food and the atmosphere of your stores, so it was with some dismay that I heard of your 'creative accounting' on the news.
I logged in today, and was again dismayed when I read your 'explanation'.
Mr. Schultz, as a proud Englishman, I can advise you that we are not a nation of fools, and there's nothing we like more than a genuine apology when someone does wrong. You have not apologised, but excused, and this may...contd
- matty9815
- 01/11/2012 05:16
...may be a costly error.
As a proud Brit I know that when people do wrong, we like them to apologise. As a rule, we forgive and move on. You had an opportunity to do this. Fail.
You surely, as 'President' 'CEO' and the various other lofty titles you append to your name, have sufficient financial acumen to know that we can ill afford to support people who don't pay their way. Now is the time to start paying your way, or risk losing out to Costa Coffee, a British company that pay what they owe.
- MyOpinion1
- 12/11/2012 15:41
Agree with you 100%... Only an idiot would lose an opportunity like this and the Starbucks CEO has again failed to put things right by a avoiding a simple apology. It seems to me the Starbucks thrives on greed and I can see this company is very quickly following the steps of other company heads who have watched their empires crumble beneath their feet (Ratners comes to mind). Needless to say I'm no longer a Starbucks customer.
- payurtax
- 01/11/2012 17:37
Starbucks might have followed a broken tax code to the letter of the law, but but it failed the moral code. And Starbucks is the company that calls itself 'Ethical Local Global'.
And how does the CEO defend itself? Say we pay VAT. Nonsense. The customers pay VAT and the VAT you pay on supplies is tax deductible.
I will never spend a single penny at Starbucks ever.
- payurtax

You don't have to get you coffee at Starbucks any more. Go try out one of those local cafes, the decor won't have that McDonald's feel, the coffee will taste just as good, you'll have a better choice of reasonably priced treats and snacks. Oh, and you be supporting a local business that pays taxes that are used for things like teachers and doctors and police.

I'm a bit in a limbo here. I am paying my tax in the UK and I would hope that everybody else (private or corporate) will do the same. Therefore, Starbucks: Slap on your wrist!
However, looking how this country pampers it's tax evading banks, re-elects it's expenses-cheating politicians and prides itself in it's made-to-abuse social system, I find no wrong-doing in Starbucks' behaviour anymore...

I came here to see whether any of the negative press was unjustified.
Reading your comment made me sick. It was, frankly, insulting.
Your VAT is paid by me. How dare you to claim my money as your tax contribution?
National insurance is taken from your employee's wages. How dare you claim that as your tax contribution?
This is the last you will hear of me. Ever.

Me never using starbucks again won't make much of a difference seeing as I find your tea and coffee pretty average, but I have certainly advised my friends that they should go for a coffee in a good, independent cafe in future and avoid you at all costs.

Mr Schutz says the UK headquarters is in the Netherlands. That is a jurisdiction known to be used in order to channel profits to reduce a UK tax bill. Tax bills are viewed as just another cost to most large businesses and they will do whatever they can to reduce them. The means to do this may 'adhere to the local tax rules' in that no tax code is actually broken, but they are still morally repugnant. Face up Starbucks and come clean!

I don't think I've ever come across a business where the management team are so arrogant as to not recognise that what they're doing is wrong. Do you really think you're going to brush this one under the carpet and still expect to sell coffee in this country? If you're still claiming to be making a loss in the UK, then your tax avoidance actions will now certainly make sure your losses are greater than ever. I think it's time you turn off the lights, put the closed sign up and you all go home!

Everyone gets so worked up about this, Starbucks is not the only company that uses this clever accounting 'trick'. Apple has been doing it for years. Just because these companies are in big and in the public eye, everyone shakes their head and tuts disapprovingly. Keeping your overheads low and your income high is how you do business, this 'trick' is just a legal loophole that allows you to do that.
So people nothing to see here, move along! I'm going to get myself a lovely Chai tea Latte :)

Talleke if you have children I hope that you would teach them better reasoning than this. Just because lots of other companies also use accounting methods to legally avoid taxes does not make it right. I have am not aware if Apple is one of those that also do this but it is irrelevant. Keeping overheads low is part of business but taxes are a moral responsibility not just an overhead. Starbucks you claim to be "ethical" and "community focussed" do the right thing!

I am astonished at your attitude and the idea that the above message may actually help, your company along with other multinationals operating in the UK uses every trick in the book to pay as little as possible in tax, but by trying to justify it are making your position somehow worse.
If you cannot make money fairly then leave the UK market to companies who pay their full tax on their UK generated profits, if you can't make money in the UK fairly then you're a pretty badly run company IMHO.

If you make profit in this country you should pay CORPORATION TAX in thios country. This pays for all the wonderful services your 'partners' rely upon, like healthcare, transport, education, social welfare! This is a MORAL imperative and I will never be buying coffee from your company again until you start paying appropriate taxes for the size of your company!

5_HATS sums it up perfectly for me. It may be legal but that doesn't stop it being morally repugnant. The bankers that put the world in the current mess acted legally but are quite rightly villified for their greedy behaviour; this is no different. So I'll be going local from now on but might return if Starbucks starts paying fair tax, although the VAT and NI point will always niggle, as does the patronising tone of the excuse.

"We have always believed that to be successful we must do our best to strike a balance between profitability and social responsibility..."
So, Starbucks clearly, on the record, equates PAYING TAX to fulfilling a corporate social responsibility plan? I thought paying taxes was adhering to the law of the jurisdiction you're operating in? We all have to pay our taxes, or we end up in jail. We can't fob this off as a botched corporate social responsibility plan! Starbucks belongs in jail.

The issue is not whether or not what you are doing is legal but whether or not it is moral. Remember a small pressure group called UK Uncut started all this.

Starbucks told investors its European businesses made a $40 million profit in 2011, but accounts filed for its UK, German, and French units, which make up 90 percent of European revenues, showed a loss of $60 million. - http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/11/01/us-starbucks-tax-europe-idUSBRE8A00DP20121101

What a disingenuous bunch of claptrap "Starbucks adheres to both the letter and spirit of the law regarding our business practices"
The law: maybe
The spirit: NO
You are avoiding tax, pure and simple, using mechanisms you've set up to do so. I honestly think you'd have got more respect with an honest answer of yes, we avoid paying tax through legal means, write to your MP.
Whilst that would have been equally wrong, it may have earned an element of respect in place of the embarrassment above.

Secondly, You patronise & under estimate the intelligence of the UK'spublic.
Thirdly,Your lack of morality not paying corporation tax when you sell yourself as an ethical, responsible organization offends me

Interestingly Costa made 50 million in the UK last year and paid 15 million in tax.
Are you telling us your organisation is so bad at what it does that it doesn't make a profit, when other chains are obviously successfully making money (which no one objects to) and paying their rightful tax?
You really have to rethink that statement above for this reason: -

You either have an incredibly poor business, or a very clever one. Which one would you like to admit to in public?
We all know the real answer, if you weren't making a profit in the UK, after over a decade of trading, you would do what any other good business person would do and chop out the dead wood, you're clearly not a charity!

For shareholders, why doesn't the board get the turnover of these managers going? As for hiring a litigation lawyer to write your letters to the public - you can see how much that was respected. This is where exciting entrepreneurial company --> lifeless dying corporation. Such is the cycle of business. Goodbye starbucks. Never did like paying £3 for a cup of luke-warm, sugary coffee to drink on junk shop furniture anyway.

Like many others I've created an account here in order to register my disgust not only at your blatant avoidance of corporation tax but this incredibly arrogant and insulting response.
Not only are you responsible for putting countless independent cafes out of business, but you're stealing the proceeds by hiding them in other countries. I was a huge fan of your coffee and a regular customer until now, but it's Costa all the way from here on.

May I offer some advice. What you really need to do is start blaming the
'system' and you were only doing what any sensible business would do.
Also, the committees aren't the law, so lie away.
Also, may I suggest you take part in the tax payer subsidised labour which
is available to UK businesses. This way, you do not have to pay your staff,
but get free labour paid for by the taxpayer under the guise of 'work
experience.' After the designated minimum period, you just get rid of and go

This statement is avoiding the truth as fiercely as you avoid paying taxes. Do you really think we're so stupid as to believe that you have only made a profit in 3 out of 14 fourteen years and are happy to continue supporting "loss making" shops ? Everyone knows you're wilfully exploiting loopholes in tax law, yet you've the gall to post this statement. Your company enjoys the benefits of trading in the UK without paying its dues. Change or people will take you for cynical parasites

I enjoy my short but precious time with my three young kids. We often end up in a coffee shop - comfy chairs, ambient music, hot chocolate, marshmallows, wifi, large chocolate coins, coffee lingo, coffee, and wonderful memories.
I'm their dad and I take my parental responsibility seriously. When they ask me tough questions I try to be honest. This Saturday when they ask me why we're not going to Starbucks, I've prepared my answer...
I'm now genuinely embarrassed to go into a Starbucks.

The secret to decoding waffle like this is to read what's NOT there. You say you are required to discount inter-group interest and licence aments before calculating profit. Fair enough. What about the ridiculously high coffee prices you pay to your own Swiss business? They are neither a licence nor interest, but keep your UK operation "unprofitable" for tax purposes. As others have pointed out, VAT and employees NI are merely collected, not paid from your income. Now tell us the whole truth.

Dear Mr Shultz,
Your claim regarding the persistent unprofitability of the UK operation, whilst knowing that over the same years many members of your senior team have bragged of the UK's profitability, shows a spectacular contempt for your UK customers' intelligence.
Many people when they are sufficiently rich seek the respect of their peers, friends and family. I pity you for apparently having no such ambitions.

For 5-6 years now I have signed off expenses for staff. This invariably included on average £40 or so per day at Starbucks.
Not any more.
Written instructions were sent to all staff, and as of 1st November no expenses for Starbucks will be refunded. Result is that all but one staff concerned have now shifted their loyalty elsewhere.
You really did forget the moral dimension, Mr Schultz.
- MyOpinion1

The majority of people in this country have little respect for a company so blatantly intent upon evasion of the lawful processes of taxation which we are almost all obliged to pay. I see the tax avoidance as a systematic act of dishonesty and deceit against HMRC and Starbucks should be prosecuted for this.
I for one have no intention of contributing to Starbucks profitability ever again.

- 23/11/2012 06:31
'Regrettably, Starbucks has only recorded a profit for UK tax purposes three times in the past 14 years (2006-2008)'
That is because of an expansion program so aggressive that you have decimated the independent (tax paying) coffee shop market.

I Run a UK Business and have had my share of "Tax Consultants" approach me about creative ways to avoid paying as much UK corporation tax.
I've sat through these meeting and thought to myself "jeez I could actually get away with paying nearly no tax at all, and may even fly through my next Tax Audit"
~But... it didn't feel right and I knew it wasn't. I Pay what I consider to be a fair %.
based on Turnover £3.1B over the years. My % = £90M NOT £8.6M. £8.6 is disgraceful.

Me too, this is wrong on every level so my daily caffeine fixes will now be at Costas or Nero's until Starbucks decides to contribute it's fair share to the UK economy.
Really hope that this can really gather momentum as the only way to get companies like Starbucks and Amazon to pay it's fair share is through direct action.

Your comments are arrogant Mr Schultz. Starbuck N'lands buy coffee beans then sell to Starbucks UK for a massive mark-up. It is impossible for UK to make a profit. You claim to be an ethical company. It's a pity you could not show the same ethical standards with our HMRC. It's not the wages of hard working staff which cause your lack of profit, its the Corporate fat cats who cream off the profits. With the boycotting you will have a genuine reason for not paying tax in the UK next year

Starbucks may say "Starbucks adheres to both the letter and spirit of the law regarding our business practices, and the UK is no exception" and they are... but this doesn't excuse what they are doing.. at a time when the UK is struggling to pay back the massive public debt yet some companies Starbucks are making millions of pounds in profit yet not paying corporation tax... personally don't see how they deem this as morally right. I know their not the only ones but not shopping there anymore!
- churbleburble
- 23/11/2012 09:09
I will not be spending my money at Starbucks any more, as they should pay the proper amount of Corporation Tax owed, and will encourage others to boycott them also.
How they can say they made a £50m profit and then show a £26m loss is an accounting trick which has been exploited, and I hope that this loophole is quickly closed.
Costa Coffee for me from now on!

Paying VAT does not classify you as paying taxes. Since you supply standard rated goods, you have to charge VAT and this is borne entirely by the customer. So in effect all you are doing is collecting it from the customer and paying it to HMRC. Had the goods you sell been zero rated for example, you would not been paying VAT to HMRC!

I must say, I am more frustrated by the pathetic response by Howard Schultz than about the original lax decisions... The British public are not stupid. I spend hundred of pounds a year in Starbucks, the quality of service I receive has been slowly falling. I drink frapachinos and they now vary so much in taste because the staff are over worked and rush drinks that i return one in 5 because they taste dreadful.

Please answer the following question in order to help me make my own
decision about the fairness or otherwise of Starbucks.
1. What is Starbucks' revenue from its UK operations in the last 5 years?
2. How much tax has Starbucks tax has Starbucks paid to UK authorities
over the last 5 years?
Please exclude items like VAT or NI from the revenue / tax computation.
I would like to understand how much tax you pay.

"As a final point of comparison regarding tax payments, it is worth mentioning that Starbucks global effective tax rate was 32.3% for the first nine months of our fiscal year 2012 compared to the 18.5% average for other large, U.S. multinational companies."

Dear Howard,
I'm writing as a loyal customer who is shocked at how your company (and many others) is legally avoiding paying tax in the UK. I know in the US, you are on the Forbes 'Best Company to Work For' list, you don't have to give benefits to your part time employees, yet you do. In the US, you are an example. So why can't you set an example internationally? We are suffering due to cuts to services that your taxes would save. You can be the hero, or you can lose your customers. Your choice.

I was simply going to boycott Starbucks, like many thousands of others. As Starbucks avoids paying its fair share of taxes, I calculate that this loss of revenue is hitting local authorities and they are having to close local amenities such as public toilets. So, I have now relented. I will in fact pay a visit to Starbucks if ever I feel the need to use the toilets. In fact I'm considering promoting a 'Have a Dump in Starbucks Day' in the very near future!

Like many other posts here I am surprised that what we can see at face value in our communities, busy efficient coffee shops, against the comments of Mr Scultz that these are not profitable. We can see the two elements do not resolve and there is a huge injustice going on: we must hope our government will address this but in the interrim a switch of custom to a company with an ethical approach to paying tax in the communities where they make their conduct their activities would seem prudent.

Yes, but one fundamental thing you omit is Why has Starbucks UK claimed not to have made a profit for the last 14 years. Is this not a creative lie. I suggest UK citizens stop buying coffee from you and go elsewhere until you admit to your corporate and human responsibilities.
- bartelbe
- 03/12/2012 09:35
The above press release is a load of c**p. You have made no profits in this country, yet continue to trade here? You buy your coffee from Switzerland, without a single bean coming from that country?
You got caught, now you have to pay. Here are your choices. Pay everything you owe us, and if you have any decency that will include everything you avoided in the past. Or sod off back to America.

"In fact, since we entered the UK market in 1998, we have consistently paid all taxes as required. Over the last three years alone, our company has paid more than 160 million pounds in various taxes, including National Insurance contributions, VAT and business rates. "
No those are paid by your employees, from their pay packets, unless you are generous enough to pay all your employees tax for them.
What we are talking about is the tax that you as a company are avoiding. So pay up or leave.

In 2011 Howard Shultz was paid $16m. 2010, $21m. 2009 $14.9m.
CFO has been paid $8m over three years. How much do you get Kris? Can we have some of their money as they've kept so much of ours. Seems an unusual situation for a company making a loss around the world to pay their top bosses so much. Seems to me this scam is happening further afield than just the uk. Let me guess. Similar set up across Europe? Which is why you've set up in Switzerland. Next to no tax paid there too.
- tontojacks

I find it amazing that you claim you pay taxes quoting national insurance for employees and business rates - SO DOES EVERY OTHER SMALL BUSINESS
It is laughable that you say you have made no profits - you rent your name from yourselves, hype the price of your own beans and register elsewhere in the EU. Do you think we are all thick? You use our roads and infrasructure but do not contribute towards it. If you don't want to be part of our society GET OUT!

I will show respect and I wish Howard S had when he "corrected" some misunderstandings and point out that the taxes you pay are mainly collected from clients and employees please just stand up and admit to your machinations of the UK tax system which allowed you to disclose "no profits" for so many years plus show your are contrite by paying not just corporation tax for this year but for the previous years. I await developments with interest but not anticipation.

While I have very much enjoyed the theatre releases, I think the longer
director's cuts are the better movies - there is so much depth even to the
movie story (which is simpler than the books) that needs additional
explanation. For example (I don't think this is a spoiler!), in the Two
Towers after Aragorn gets dragged over the cliff, a horse finds him, wakes
him up and takes him to Helms Deep. This is not from the book, so being
familiar with Tolkien's work doesn't help. The scene really doesn't make
sense, but in the extended version an earlier scene shows Aragorn
befriending this horse. So at least we have a reason for the horse to go
rescue him.
We saw the Return of the King a couple days ago and I really enjoyed it.
All three parts are long, but worth it. Great story.

Gordon Brown may be embroiled in a battle for control of the Labour party and a quest to become Prime Minister but it was revealed last night that he has spent hours of his valuable time in the past week guaranteeing that the football club he supports bagged themselves a new defender.
Raith Rovers, wallowing near the foot of the Scottish Second Division, announced yesterday that they had signed Marvin Andrews, a Trinidad & Tobago World Cup defender who was playing Champions' League football last season with Rangers. Brown is a lifelong Raith fan, and a club shareholder, and personally met Andrews to persuade him of the club's ambition.
"Gordon Brown has shown a lot of drive and determination to make this deal work," said Raith's manager, Craig Levein. "Gordon probably doesn't want a mention but his involvement was important to show the commitment at board level."
Andrews, a devout Christian, was released by Rangers in the summer, and had offers from several clubs, including Reading. He turned them down because Reading is too far from his church. Raith are based in the Fife town of Kirkcaldy, where Andrews preaches at the Zion Praise International Church.
"It was a pleasure for me to talk to [him]. He is a very nice and generous man," said Andrews of Brown
Andrews added that his decision to sign was ultimately influenced by an altogether more exulted figure than the Chancellor of the Exchequer. "My main decision was what God told me. I am back here [he played for Raith between 1997 and 2000] because God wants me here. It is simple. Many clubs came in for me but God never said anything to me. This is the place God wants me to be."

NUS chemists made C-C coupling based 2D polymer
Professor Kian Ping Loh and PhD student Liu Wei in the Department of Chemistry, National University of Singapore, applied an ingenious strategy based on endogenous polymerization, carried out without catalyst, solvent or initiator, to make 2-D polymer based on C-C coupling reactions.
They discovered that pre-ordering well-designed, flat monomers into a single crystal structure can lead to a 2D crystalline aromatic polymer upon thermal annealing. The achieved polymeric sheets are parallel and can be readily exfoliated into micrometer-sized sheets with nanometer thickness, similar to the case of single-layer graphene. This approach paves the way towards the controlled synthesis of extended crystalline 2D conjugated materials for various applications. Due to its intra-sheet conjugation and ordered open 1D channel, the 2D polymer fabricated by Loh et. al. exhibits unprecedented cycle stability and rate capability when applied as an anode in an ambient temperature sodium cell. The work is published in Nature Chemistry. Read More.
Toward metallic molecular wires!
Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with a width < 10 nm have promising applications in the future nano-electronics. While semi-conducting GNRs can be applied as active components in field effect transistors, the metallic GNRs can be used as conducting wires. So far, the synthesis of GNRs with potential metallic properties is still not successful. In a recent publication in Chem, A/P Wu Jishan's group reported the challenging synthesis and physical characterizations of a series of soluble and stable rylene ribbon molecules with the record length, which can serve as good model compounds of the narrowest armchair graphene nanoribbon. They observed very unusual open-shell diradical character for long rylene molecules, which can be correlated to the potential metallic property of the infinite polyrylene ribbon. This work was selected as a cover in the January issue.

Extended Bis(benzothia)-quinodimethanes and Their Dications: From Singlet Diradicaloids to Isoelectronic Structures of Long Acenes
In a recent article published in Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 2016, 55, 9316-9320 (hot paper), (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com.libproxy1.nus.edu.sg/doi/10.1002/anie.201603135/pdf), Dr. Chi and her co-workers synthesized a series of extended bis(benzothia)-quinodimethanes and their dications as stable species. The neutral compounds mainly have a quinoidal structure in the ground state but show increased diradical character with extension of the central quinodimethane unit. More importantly, the dications exhibit similar electronic absorption spectra, NMR spectra, NICS values, and diatropic ring currents to their aromatic all-carbon acene analogues and thus can be regarded as genuine isoelectronic structures of pentacene, hexacene and heptacene, respectively. This study provides a new way to design and synthesize stable longer acene analogues with similar electronic structures to the traditional all-carbon acenes.
Boronic Acid: A Bio-Inspired Strategy to Increase the Sensitivity and Selectivity of Fluorescent NADH Probe
Fluorescent probes have been widely used in the molecular recognition events in biological systems; however, it remains challenging to design small-molecule fluorescent probes sensitively and selectively sensing biomolecules with complex structures. Inspired by the enzyme-catalyzed reaction between biomolecule and probe, Prof. Chang and collaborators present a novel combination-reaction two-step sensing strategy to improve sensitivity and selectivity. Based on this strategy, they successfully prepared a boronic acid based fluorescent NADH (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) probe and evaluate NADH levels in live cell imaging.

On-Chip Molecular Electronic Plasmon Sources Based on Self-Assembled Monolayer Tunnel Junctions
Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) confine and enhance local electromagnetic fields near surfaces of metallic nanostructures at optical frequencies and have the ability to propagate along sub-diffractive metallic waveguides opening-up new perspectives for integrated opto-electronic circuits at the nanoscale. To move beyond the currently available technologies, and to miniaturise the plasmonic devices, the group of Assoc Professor Christian A. Nijhuis and collaborators developed on-chip molecular electronic plasmon sources based on self-assembled monolayer (SAM) tunnel junctions. The new plasmon sources operate at molecular length scales and tunnelling time scales while the properties of the plasmons generated can be controlled via the molecular electronic properties of the junctions. This paves the way for future nanoscale optoelectronic information processing and computing.
Inaugural Chemistry Graduate Research Symposium
The inaugural Chemistry Graduate Research Symposium was organized by the Chemistry Graduate Society on 12 Aug 2016 at the University Hall. It was a one-day poster presentation event which a total of 71 Chemistry graduate and post-doctoral researchers presented their research work in front of their peers and the faculty members in the department. The participants were divided into 4 chemistry major research areas i.e. Analytical Chemistry and Energy/Environment; Physical Chemistry and Materials; Inorganic Chemistry and Catalysis; Organic, Medicinal, and Chemical Biology. Besides highlighting the participants' achievements, this event also served as a platform for sharing cross-disciplinary ideas among different research groups and educating our undergraduates /graduate students about the research done in our department . The event was very well received and culminated in the presentation of seven travel awards by HoD, Prof Richard Wong, to students with the best posters as judged by an independent jury of faculty members based on their content, scientific merit and presentation. In addition, five "Peoples' Choice" prizes were given out to the posters which garnered most votes from the participants.

Since ACHC's beginnings in 1986, quality has been an integral aspect of its processes and services, with the support of its expert and dedicated staff. To remain diligent in its commitment to quality, ACHC has taken the following approaches to reach a higher level of performance:
ACHC firmly believes in the value of peer review and began a journey in 2003 to answer the question, "Who accredits the accreditor?"
By 2004, ACHC developed a formal ISO quality management system and underwent a site assessment in order to become ISO 9001:2000 certified. ACHC was, in fact, the first health care accreditation organization to achieve such distinction.
This ISO quality management system (QMS) helps the organization to continually focus on customer needs and satisfaction, long-term planning of accreditation programs and services, and compliance to regulatory changes in health care. ACHC undergoes yearly site audits to retain its certification, and maintains its system as ISO standards are updated.
In 2008 ACHC's executives received training on the nationally recognized Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence. The Baldrige Criteria provides an integrated and systematic approach to managing organizational performance, and ACHC saw this as the next step in achieving company-wide quality and sustainability.
North Carolina administers a performance excellence program based on the Baldrige Criteria. The NCAfE program divides the criteria into several levels to enable organizations to systematically improve and prepare for application to the national Baldrige Performance Excellence Program. ACHC submitted applications to NCAfE in 2009 and 2011 and continues to bring Baldrige best practices into the organization.

All year I dream of the days of May when the sun is warm, the sky is blue, the grass is green, and the garden is all new again!

Today's Lesson - Things That Sting
The first thing that stings is a paper wasp. If you look closely at this picture of my bunny bell, you will see a paper wasp at the bottom of the picture. He's looking for his nest or hive or whatever they call the place they form to lay all their eggs. It used to be inside that bell. However, one of the paper wasps ruined it for everyone else by STINGING me on the shoulder as I passed by. They chose the wrong gardener to sting! I sprayed them down with some wasp/hornet killer, and wiped out the eggs. All gone!
Prior to this weekend, I can remember only being stung twice in all my years of gardening. I don't think I'm that old, but if you go back to my start in gardening as a wee toddler, we are talking four decades. Just two stings. Then this weekend, I was stung four times. I think the paper wasps are pretty aggressive this year, or they've just decided my yard is the place to be. I destroyed one other nest with eggs. It was under the arm of a chair I moved to get to a weed growing up through the patio pavers. I could not find the third hive, but I sprayed where I thought it was.
Okay, now that you've mastered the first lesson about paper wasps, let's move on. The second thing that stings is a weed called Stinging Nettle. This is a picture of Dead Nettle, Lamium maculatum "Aureum". It is called dead nettle because it does not sting you. It's generally used as a ground cover in shady areas.
Stinging Nettle is called stinging nettle because it stings you when you touch it.
I was doing some weeding and saw some Stinging Nettle (probably Urtica dioica) growing in one of the containers on the patio. I thought "that's stinging nettle, be careful". And I was careful when I pulled it and I threw it in the bushel basket with the other weeds I had pulled.
The basket was nearly full, and that stinging nettle landed on the top of the heap, so when I picked up the basket, my forearm brushed across the stinging nettle. "Ouch, that stings", I thought, "I need to go inside and wash that off to stop the stinging, but first let me move this chair..." and then I didn't notice so much that my forearm was stinging, because the first paper wasp stung me right then!
My antidote for the paper wasps stings is to apply a baking soda paste and rest for a few minutes. For the stinging nettle, I just wash that area of my skin that came in contact with the plant and the stinging goes away, eventually.
So, to complete today's lesson, just keep in mind "know what Stinging Nettle looks like, or don't touch your weeds"!

OK. Now why wouldn't bunnies think they are welcome in your garden when you hang such a cute bunny decoration on your gate? I bet if you gave that to your youngest sister, all your bunny problems would go away! LOL!

Hopefully you didn't do what I did a year or so ago. That boxwood by the driveway had a hive in it. so I sprayed killer stuff on it. I sprayed so much (had to be sure I got them all) that I killed the center of the plant. Lucky you aren't allergic to them. You might be careful next time.

Luckily, I didn't have to spray any plants to kill the yellow jackets.

Over here some people harvest stinging nettles when they're young and make a tea / veg dish from them. Food for free I know but I've never been tempted!

One of the rarest animals in the world might be saved from imminent extinction with the help of a rabies vaccine targeted at the most vulnerable members of the species.
There are no more than about 500 Ethiopian wolves left alive and up to three-quarters of the population were wiped out in a rabies outbreak in 2003. This led scientists to experiment with a targeted vaccination campaign that they believe could save the species from dying out completely in any future rabies outbreaks.
A computer model of the vaccination following the 2003 epidemic suggests that the campaign has worked and that the short-term future of the wolf now looks more secure, according to a study published in the journal Nature. "Ethiopian wolves are the rarest carnivores in the world, restricted to a few mountain enclaves in the Ethiopian highlands," said Claudio Sillero-Zubiri, of Oxford University's Wildlife Conservation Research Unit.
The wolf is a specialist carnivore feeding on the rodents that live in the high alpine pastures. There are six breeding populations living in the Ethiopian highlands and all of them are susceptible to infections introduced by the domestic dogs of local shepherds. "Canid diseases, such as rabies and distemper transmitted from domestic dogs, pose the most immediate threat to their persistence, and targeted vaccination intervention presents a useful tool to protect the remaining small wolf populations from extinction," Dr Sillero-Zubiri said.
Ethiopian wolves live in some of most inaccessible mountain enclaves of the world and it is difficult to reach some of the remoter packs and capture all their members, he said. As a result it was thought that it would be impossible to carry out the sort of blanket vaccination that was deemed necessary for an effective campaign against the rabies virus.
But the study showed that instead of vaccinating almost every animal, the scientists could get away with inoculating just 30 per cent of the population under the greatest threat of coming into contact with domestic dogs. The modelling study demonstrated that even if rabies outbreaks became more frequent, fewer wolves would need to be vaccinated than under a wholesale vaccine programme in order to virtually eliminate the extinction threat posed by such outbreaks, Dr Sillero-Zubiri said.
"Theoreticians have devoted a lot of effort to working out how to vaccinate populations in ways that prevent epidemics getting started, but this requires coverage that is impractical in wild populations," said Dan Haydon of Glasgow University. "We've looked at vaccination studies that don't prevent all outbreaks, but do reduce the chance of really big outbreaks - ones that could push an endangered population over the extinction threshold."
In the study, 80 wolves were captured and vaccinated. They formed part of the largest breedinggroup of 350 wolves in the Bale Mountains, in the south-east Ethiopian highlands. Dr Sillero-Zubiri said that the wolf still faces long-term threats from climate change and habitat loss, which is driving the remaining populations to higher altitudes. The Oxford team has been working on the preservation of the Ethiopian wolf for 20 years and the scientists work closely with local people and the government.
Karen Laurenson, a member of the research team from Edinburgh University, said: "The vaccination of wildlife, when appropriate and strategically used, is a safe, direct and effective method of reducing extinction threats."
It is hoped that the further development of oral rabies vaccines that can be given in food will in future make it easier to vaccinate the remote wolf populations.

Jadeveon Clowney believes he's the NFL's No. 1 draft pick and says he took a big step toward that goal during South Carolina's pro day workouts Wednesday.
The 6-foot-5, 266-pound defensive end did position drills in front of dozens of NFL personnel, including Houston coach Bill O'Brien and Jacksonville coach Gus Bradley. Clowney thinks he elevated his elite status during 40 minutes of running through cones, jumping over hurdles and catching tennis balls in workouts he passed on at the NFL Scouting Combine in February.
"Yes, I do feel like I should be the first pick," Clowney said after the session.
Clowney did not lift weights or run the 40-yard dash, standing on his combine showings when he did 21 reps at 225 pounds and clocked a 4.53-second time.
He also felt he eased anyone's concerns about his work ethic. He was considered by many the No. 1 pick after his sophomore season in 2012, when he had 13 sacks.
A midseason tiff with coach Steve Spurrier — Clowney pulled himself out of the Kentucky game with a rib muscle strain without following proper protocol — intensified questions about Clowney's work habits and going hard every play.
"I think my work ethic is pretty good. I think I proved that today, but I've still got a lot of proving to do," he said.
Steelers sign receiver
The Pittsburgh Steelers and free-agent wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey have agreed to terms on a one-year contract.
Heyward-Bey caught 29 passes for 307 yards and a touchdown in 11 games last season with Indianapolis. He spent the first four seasons of his career in Oakland, catching 140 passes for 2,071 yards and 11 touchdowns in 56 games with the Raiders before being cut last spring.
Heyward-Bey gives the Steelers the deep threat they lacked last season after Mike Wallace left via free agency for Miami. Heyward-Bey is the second wide receiver signed by the Steelers since free agency began. Pittsburgh and former New Orleans wideout Lance Moore agreed to a two-year deal.
From Miami to Miami
Former Miami Hurricanes offensive lineman Jason Fox signed a one-year deal with the Miami Dolphins, and he's confident he can fill one of their vacancies up front.
The Texas native chose Miami after four injury-hampered seasons with the Detroit Lions.
"I'm very comfortable with South Florida," he said. "I consider it a second home. But the main reason was the Miami Dolphins. I'm so excited to be here. Their offensive line presents a great opportunity for me to come in and compete."
The 6-foot-6, 314-pound Fox is expected to contend for playing time at either guard position or right tackle. The Dolphins will likely have new starters at all three spots as they revamp their offensive line.
Fox made only three starts with the Lions, all last year at right tackle. He played in eight games in 2013 and was slowed by groin and knee injuries. He had a foot injury in 2011 and didn't play all year.
Giants welcome defender
The New York Giants signed former Denver Broncos defensive end Robert Ayers, the 13th veteran the team has signed since free agency started.
Ayers had a career-high 5.5 sacks last season for the AFC champion Broncos. A 2009 first-round draft choice out of Tennessee and a New Jersey native, he is the fourth participant from February's Super Bowl, and the third from the Broncos, to join the Giants. The others are cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and return specialist Trindon Holliday. Cornerback Walter Thurmond left Seattle to join the Giants.
Ayers played in 72 regular-season games with 27 starts for the Broncos and had 141 tackles (101 solo), 12 sacks and three forced fumbles.
Lineman joins Titans
The Tennessee Titans agreed to terms with offensive lineman Chris Spencer on a one-year contract.
Spencer played in all 16 games for the Titans last season and made one start at center on Dec. 1 against the Indianapolis Colts.
Spencer has played 121 games in his nine-year career. He previously played for the Seattle Seahawks (2005-10) and Chicago Bears (2011-12).
