Facebook accused of being 'morally unacceptable' after it emerged social network paid only £1.8m of tax on almost £2.37bn of advert sales

Facebook for the past two years have been avoiding the UK tax through Ireland. It has been announced that they have made 2.3 billion in sales and are trying to avoid a few million pounds in tax, for them selling in the UK from advertisements. This is where Facebook get their money from advertisements, from business' wanting to promote and get their business out there. Facebook have apparently refused to listen to what they have been told as they think they are not in the wrong.

• They have avoided 2 years of UK tax
• They have made 2.3 billion in revenue 
• They have only paid 1.3 million to Ireland 

I believe that Facebook should be paying the tax due to them operating and making money from the UK. This should have been taken care of ever since they first started selling however Facebook should be fair and understand that they should be paying tax like every other business.
