Oh is that so, well what are we all having a discussion about then Shell will be paying their UK taxes happy days
I was just clarifying some confusion on other posts about whether Shell is a UK company and where it pays tax.

It's great they are helping but it should have been optional. I know myself would have opted out as I don't need it but know many do.The problem is the government is still borrowing billions to pay everyone in the UK towards their energy costs. At least £5 billion last month
But it's the people with the flat screen TVs to blame yeah? Not the profit before people energy companies? That's the line you seem to be taking?we are all victims as you put it to energy company high prices expect some CHOOSE to put it before luxuries. Take it how you want in terms of blaming victims but myself, yourself and everyone else is a victim of high energy prices and we all act in a way we want with the responsibilities we have. IF it fits your agenda then carry on and feel that way but I know myself and many I know act responsibly and put things in an order they need to be for survival.
Amazon isn't a good example though. It lost money for years and years, then just about broke even. There were two years of profit boosts due to Covid, but now it's just about breaking even again. There has been a lot of infrastructure building in Europe, so whatever profits would have been made were reduced by that.Apologies if it read as though the Nigerian government receives $10 per barrel royalty. I put it in as an example. I don't know the true royalty figure, but there will be one which is cost to Shell and other oil companies.
Ref Amazon has been criticised on here by me, for paying low taxes in the UK. Their business rates have been tiny in comparison with high street shops. They are registered in the Luxembourg as they did a special deal with that kingpin government of Europe, so profits generated in the EU could be filtered through Luxembourg to reduce corporation tax. Amazon has not profiteered from Ukraine war, but the profiteeered through Covid and the invention of the Smart phone and will do for many years to come..
I gathered you didn’t know the exact figures per barrel.Apologies if it read as though the Nigerian government receives $10 per barrel royalty. I put it in as an example. I don't know the true royalty figure, but there will be one which is cost to Shell and other oil companies.

Hate SpeechIt's obscene isn't it? I would petrol bomb their head offices in protest. However I'm against the burning of petrol.
