Bono defends tax move amid fight against hunger

U2 FRONTMAN Bono has hit back at criticism of the band’s decision to move their royalties to the Netherlands earlier this year.

The move followed a decision by the Government to put a cap on artists’ tax exemption.

He said U2’s taxes have always been to the “spirit of the law” and added that it would be churlish to criticise the band for what they were doing.
