Basically, go to a benefit store collect a coffee sleeve, which can be redeemed for a buy-one-get-one-free beverage at Starbucks.
In return, Starbucks outlets will be stocked with Benefit branded emoji coasters, which people will be able to collect to redeem a free makeover at a benefit store

Stop spouting crap.
Apart from the amount of business rates they pay, apart from the thousands they employ with millions of pounds of tax and NI payments.
Guess what?? They ACTUALLY did pay UK Corporation Tax only last month of over 8 Million Pounds.
So, please do a little research before posting public libelous comments on a shopping forum. Thanks.
Starbucks paid nearly as much corporation tax in 2015 as it did in its first 14 years in the UK, after bowing to pressure to scrap its complex tax structures.
I'm confused, is this only for people on benefits? only people on benefits that wear makeup? what about working people? Starbucks don't pay tax and now they mock the employed? Disgusting.
hey so i'm not the only Cark in the world then, and there's me thinking i was unique :disappointed:

Starbucks don't pay tax because they buy all their coffee from a Swiss tax haven. And it's really hard to grow coffee beans in Switzerland. That's why it is really expensive. Anyway, enjoy giving your money to the tax dodgers. Slimeballs.

you really need to learn more about a subject without only taking it half in, they follow UK and EU Tax laws, if you don't like the laws you should ask your MP why its taken this government 3 years since this broke in the press and every government did nothing about it. We all pay as little tax as we can and you cant blame any company doing the same, funnily its not just the big companies who do it, every company who has an accountant is doing it. Its not illegal so we should stop moaning about it.

zzzzzzzz
And the uneducated make stupid comments relating to something they saw months ago in the Daily Mail whilst pretending they have a clue what they are talking about, when they actually don't, as Starbucks do now pay UK tax, and lets be honest, weren't breaking the law anyway.
Funny how you are happy to post deals for Amazon though :wink:

Fair cop. Amazon should pay more tax too.
Starbucks aren't paying what they should in Corporation Tax - the government should fix this loophole urgently.

Can the sleeves be collected from concession stands within debenhams and boots etc or does it have to be a benefit store?

Hi DavidL
Please hurry up and get banned, you have very little understanding of the UK tax system and what is and isn't being paid from large corporations for the various taxes they have and are legally obliged to pay.
Harping on a shopping forum about boycotting Starbucks and swearing/ranting about them is just a little embarrassing.
Please close the door on the way out.
Thanks

And so what if they do? It's called business. But it doesn't matter to you if Amazon do as well because you evidently post their deals and shop there.
