The IFS said the Treasury needed to be aware that a small number of this super-rich group leaving the country would create a "relatively big hole in its finances”.
It's pretty obvious really. |  | | |  |

I think the laws around corporation tax need changing so that every pound earned in the UK pays its tax in the UK. It should be the law that they have to have a UK head office or don't bother coming here.
If there's a succesful business they will either do it or not but if they don't it leaves the door open for a UK entrepreneur to start up.
Too many global corporations pay hardly any tax in the UK. | | | |

I suppose that our friend reasons there are many wealthy rentiers who own multiple properties and can fill the taxation receipts hole that will be left. He will be at the front of the queue.  | | | |

Global companies have far smarter people working for them than the UK government.

It's similar to people (Kilkenny) who claimed that when the Senedd had taxation powers (God forbid), wealthy people should pay higher taxes than in England.
It never occurred to them they would move out of Wales to England. | | | |

I don't think that's the real problem. No the real problem is that politicians and corprations (the rich and powerful) are bedfellows.
Think back to when the government wanted to re-write tax laws. They went out and got specialist law firms to help them write the new laws. Turned out that those companies then knew all the loopholes for their rich clients, they knew them because they had inserted them into the laws.
It was crooked as hell and it hasn't been changed. That didn't happen because the politicians weren't bright enough, no it happened because they were complicit. | | | |

You could be right but I am well aware of items manufactured in Wales having the final part of the process (for example part of the packaging) put on in another country to avoid tax. | | | |

It is a long established and well known economic fact that punitive tax rates are ultimately counter productive, but Socialists simply don't understand economics anyway. If they did then they wouldn't be Socialists.
Tax rates should be set at a level that encourages people to relocate to the UK and pay taxes here, not drive them away so the working classes have to pay more to fill the gap. |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

What's the point of having rich people here if they aren't paying their fair share?
I don't think high tax rates has harmed the Scandinavian countries, but they spend it on social programmers and benefits for the people, unlike here | | | |

And get the “poor”realise that the world doesn’t owe them a living and that that they don’t need babies to get benefits
Then encourage the vast majority who graft here for a living by treating them with respect. | |
