The Trump Turnberry's tax bill was recently reduced to £770,845, upon appeal. This week South Ayrshire, the local council which includes Turnberry, and Aberdeenshire council are expected to tell both businesses they no longer have to pay any of that tax, known as business rates, because they qualify for 100% relief. Both resorts have been able to avoid paying corporation tax, the main business tax in the UK, because they consistently report heavy losses due to their debts to Trump himself, cumulatively put at £155m in 2018. The revelation comes as some Democrats in the US Congress raise questions about whether it is lawful for Trump's companies to accept any benefits from a foreign country, including bailout funds from the UK and Scottish governments. The House oversight committee asked the Trump Organization to supply it with all documents related to the company's applications for loans or other funds by 21 May. There is no evidence that the company has complied with the request.
