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 Philip Morris International 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 Department of Special Investigations of the government of Thailand (“DSI”) is conducting an investigation into alleged tax avoidance by Philip Morris International’s Thailand subsidiary, Philip Morris (Thailand) Limited (“PM Thailand”).

Make sure everyone you know is aware that Philip Morris International is being investigated by the government of Thailand for tax avoidance.
