BBC Two unravels the complex tax operations of some of the biggest companies in the UK, and finds out if it’s possible for local businesses in a small town in Wales to turn the tables by setting up their own similar arrangements.
The tax practices of some of the biggest companies operating in the UK have been in sharp focus in recent years, with big-name brands being criticised and the government seeking to crack down on tax loopholes. We’ve heard how creative accountancy can be used to legally pay little UK tax - but how does it actually work, and can the businesses in a small town in Wales make it work for them?

Presented by Heydon Prowse, co-presenter of BBC Three’s The Revolution Will Be Televised, this film follows an alliance of local businessmen and women from Crickhowell in the Brecon Beacons on this unique theoretical TV experiment as they uncover the tax avoidance techniques multinationals employ, and try to apply them to their very own DIY tax plan.
