Starbucks has dismissed reports it held urgent talks with government officials over fears it was being singled out for criticism of corporate tax avoidance.

Starbucks confirmed that it had had a meeting at Downing Street on Friday, but said this was "long-scheduled".

Last week Prime Minister David Cameron said tax avoiders "need to wake up and smell the coffee", perceived as a thinly-veiled swipe at the company.

Tory party Chairman Grant Shapps said no-one was being singled out.

However, he repeated that companies had to pay "their fair share" of tax.

Starbucks, along with Amazon, Google and others, faced a public backlash last year over the disclosure of the amount of corporation tax they pay.
