Caffè Nero has not paid any corporation tax in the UK since 2007 on sales of £2 billion and has been subject to ongoing criticism, although the BBC has reported that "there is no suggestion that Caffe Nero has done anything illegal" and that "Caffe Nero has previously rejected accusations that its complex corporate structure involving various holding companies is designed to avoid corporation tax." Paul Monaghan, chief executive of the Fair Tax Mark campaign group, said the firm's tax arrangements were “parasitic” and “insulting to the intelligence of the British people”
