Tobacco Companies are Avoiding Taxes and Bribing Governments

In their mission to maximize profits from the sale of deadly and addictive products, tobacco companies have been investigated by governments across the world for activity including bribery, corruption, and avoiding paying corporate taxes. Tobacco companies like British American Tobacco use their relationships with government officials, politicians, media, and businesses to block tobacco control policies. Tobacco companies can be weakened when their misconduct is publicly exposed and those relationships are strained and severed.

The National Board of Revenue (“NBR”) is investigating approximately £186 million in avoided tax revenue.

Make sure everyone you know is aware that British American Tobacco is being investigated by the government of Bangladesh for tax avoidance.
