We think some employers are saving themselves millions of pounds by taking advantage of a national insurance tax exemption on tips paid via a tronc.
We don’t think Parliament ever intended for companies – many of them with off-shore structures – to profit from this unfair tax break at the expense of their workers and the UK treasury.
