Over a decade ago, the Labour Party⁢ in the United Kingdom put forth a ⁢provocative idea:⁤ multinational corporations should be obliged to publicly disclose their profits ​and tax⁣ payments in each country they operate within.

This proposal ⁣was designed to ignite discussion and encourage deliberation—especially⁤ since, at that time, Labour was not the ruling​ party and Prime Minister⁤ David Cameron had no interest in enforcing mandatory public reporting on a country-by-country basis. ⁣However, despite ⁤this lack of support from Cameron’s administration, the dialogue surrounding transparency persisted.

By 2016, ⁢UK lawmakers reached a compromise during discussions of ⁣that year’s finance bill: While public country-by-country reporting wouldn’t be ⁣mandated outright, HM Treasury retained the option to implement it at their discretion.
