The Treasury is coming under pressure to examine the rules that will allow Vodafone to avoid paying tax on the £84 billion proceeds of its sale of US telecoms firm Verizon.
The third-largest corporate transaction is estimated to be worth £80 million in fees to banks working for Verizon and £76m to Vodafone's advisers.
The Berkshire-based firm said its US stake is owned by a company in the Netherlands, making it free of UK tax liabilities.
Margaret Hodge MP, chairwoman of the Commons Public Accounts Committee, said: "Clearly there are concerns on this deal. I just want some assurance HM Revenue and Customs will be going through this deal with a toothcomb to ensure the taxpayer gets the proper benefit under the law of the tax Vodafone should pay on this massive windfall profit they are making."
She urged the Government to examine a tax exemption introduced by the last Labour administration which she said could be open to abuse.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
