I visited the Hounslow branch of Starbucks this morning and discovered that the mugs, tumblers and (tree) decorations have been reduced by 50%. May be store specific, but worth a check if you are local to a store.
Frappuccino Cup with Straw - £5.97
Christmas Polar Bear Plastic Tumbler - £5.47
Stainless Steel Tumbler - £8.25
Christmas Mug - £5.47
Tree Decoration - £2.97
There are also a couple of items on sale online, with 20-40% off, but you need to spend £50 for free delivery :(

6 hours and 38 minutes, you win the prize for most uninformed comment.
Please read up on UK tax laws and specifically the legality of tax avoidance (not morality), then investigate companies including Cadburys, Vodafone, Acer, Amazon, eBay, Disney, Apple, E.on, Google, HP, Kingfisher, Mattel, Nike, Nokia, Unilever, Sony, Asda... and Starbucks. The list is endless.
Let's hope (1) you are not supporting any of the above referenced companies and (2) paying all taxes that you are due to pay.
NB: I believe the word you were looking to use is haven, not heaven. But then again, perhaps that was a Freudian slip :smirk:
Merry Christmas.

Looks like people have ever since they voluntarily paid a large sum of tax. Starbucks just had their biggest ever UK profit this year.

Even better if it will stack with the Nationwide rewards 50% back on a £15 spend! :smiley:
Starbucks is tax cheat. We don't need such business that don't pay their tax and keeps all the bucks they made using TAX HEAVEN tactics.

Cold from me, I don't support multinational companies that don't pay their taxes.
I support companies in the uk that employ people and pay taxes they have to, I don't support tax "experts" who blame the companies when the tax laws are written by the government who have known the tax laws weren't correct for decades, yes decades. Wonder why the government haven't closed the loop holes, probably because the tax "expert" keep deflecting the noise from the government to the companies :disappointed:
