Firm took â¹29 cr of charity plastic bag funds for own costs
UK supermarket giant Tesco is being slammed for deducting millions of pounds of charity donations from the plastic bag tax to cover "administration costs". Tesco withdrew Â£3.4 million (â¹29 crore) from funds generated from the 5 pence charge on bags in the year to March 2017. This amount was equivalent to more than 10% of the total proceeds.
