Topshop ? yeah right not Topshop and not Topman
Phillip Green is the billionaire boss of Topshop, Topman, Dorothy Perkins, Burton, Miss Selfridge and British Home Stores.
The Guardian 26th February 2012
"UK Uncut has also targeted business people including Sir Philip Green, whose retail group Arcadia includes Top Shop and Miss Selfridge and who has avoided UK tax on dividends paid to himself and his wife in Monaco."
The Observer 25th March 2005
"The business empire of retail billionaire Philip Green is mostly held in the name of his wife, Tina, who is resident in Monaco. Taveta Investments, the vehicle used to acquire Arcadia in 2002, paid out a hefty £460m to its owner last year. Green, who spends much of his time in Britain, would have been landed with a £150m tax bill if he owned Taveta; as it is held by his wife, a minuscule amount of tax is due."
