London
SEVEN of the biggest investment banks operating in London paid little or no tax in Britain last year, despite reporting billions of dollars in profits, a Reuters analysis of corporate filings shows.
In recent months, the seven banks reported figures showing they paid a combined US$31 million in corporation tax in 2014. Between them the banks generated revenues of US$31 billion in the UK and profits of US$5.3 billion. Five of the banks - JP Morgan, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank AG, Nomura Holding and Morgan Stanley - said their main UK arms paid no corporation tax, as Britain calls corporate income tax.
