Company bosses who use tax loopholes to avoid paying their fair share will not be welcomed by Midlothian Council after it agreed to a crackdown.
Elected members this week agreed to sign the local authority up the a Councils for Fair Tax Declaration. And they said contractors or suppliers used by them would have to be transparent about their practices.
A motion by Councillor Bryan Pottinger, supported by Councillor Russell Imrie, said public expectation on organisations to pay the right amount of tax in the right place at the right time has never been stronger.
