UK corporation tax

Facebook paid £4.1m in UK tax last year

It is a big increase on the £4,327 paid in 2014, which prompted an outcry from campaigners who argued it had paid too little.

However, critics may also be riled by the fact that the company will receive a tax credit of £11m, which can be used to offset tax bills at a later date.

The firm said it was "proud" to have grown its business in the UK.
