Royal Crest On Post Boxes
18 Answers
Prompted by another thread, as the Royal Mail is no longer state owned, and is just another PLC, should the royal crest be on the post boxes?
If so, who is going to pay to change them?

//They won't change them, any new ones will have the new crest. There are still some in existence from previous monarchs.//
When we moved into here we found a GR one in the garden. Someone was desperate for me to sell it to him, apparently in many villages round here the small boxes get stolen regularly.

// Fatti, the government gets no money from Royal Mail - why do you think it does?
They get the same taxes they get from any other business, nothing more//
That depends.

//Eight large tech companies in the UK made an estimated £9.6bn in profit from sales to UK customers in 2019, a new analysis by TaxWatch shows.
But by moving money out of the UK, these companies ended up declaring a fraction of these profits in the accounts of their UK subsidiaries, radically reducing their tax liabilities.
Amazon, eBay, Adobe, Google, Cisco, Facebook, Microsoft, and Apple faced UK corporation tax liabilities of £297 million in 2019.
That puts the total amount of tax avoided by the companies in the UK at an estimated £1.5bn in 2019, the latest year where figures exist.//

As you can see, the government sort of set a tone, way back when.

I'm well aware of the legal measures big companies employ to avoid tax, Fatticus. The government has chosen not to close the loopholes.
I am also confident that RM does not voluntarily pay more tax than they are legally obligated to, the same as any other PLC. Your post at 10.06 implied that the government was getting income from RM that it doesn't get from other companies.

No doubt George looked after his own in the sell off/shares department.
