Hit by Panama row, UK's Cameron announces new tax evasion law in 2016
- 8 years ago
British Prime Minister David Cameron will say on Monday that new legislation making companies criminally liable if employees aid tax evasion will be introduced this year, as he seeks to repair the damage from a week of questions about his personal finances.
Cameron published tax records on Sunday to try and defuse criticism over his handling of the fallout from the Panama Papers, in which his late father was mentioned for setting up an offshore fund.
The prime minister will attempt to regain the upper hand when he appears in the House of Commons later on Monday.
