UK companies do this. They get big tax cuts for doing it, worth more than they ever donate. Its a disingenuous cunt move imo.

Sounds like a broken tax system then…

They do the same with agency staff in places like healthcare. Makes it look like they’re paying over the odds but they claim back loads on government subsidies, tax breaks and grants. All the while charging more and more for the services they claim to provide.

Same here in the states, they only donate because then they don’t have to pay that money to taxes. They don’t give a shit about whoever the cause helps, it’s just a PR move for them
