The tories won't as they'll appear to be anti-business and will crumble once more when the banks and FTSE companies threaten to go elsewhere again.
The idea that corporations will leave Britain if the treasury enforces corporation tax is such bollocks. They will stay near the wealth creation, it's empty blustering which either our politicians believe. Which makes them ridiculously credulous or it's a convenient excuse to feed to the public which makes them self serving c***. I imagine it's a mix of the two.
As opposed to the previous Labour government who, ummm, did nothing too. But it was a fairer, non-kissing-of-hands, more salt of the earth nothing. It was a much more balanced, sharing, egalitarian nothing. A kind of fuck-all for the people nothing. A Nothing of Mass Distraction.Like C&B says, something needs to be done and as Salty says nothing will be done by this government.

I'm really against tax avoidance. I was telling my mate so the other day in Starbucks whilst using my vodafone cell to order some shit off Amazon.Completely agree that a) we should do all we can to minimise tax evasion and b) the idea that corporations will up sticks and leave if forced to pay tax is bollocks. However, I genuinely believe it's very difficult to create rules for multinationals that will guarantee they pay their way. These companies pay serious wonga to the best accountants and lawyers around to avoid paying their way.
I'd be interested to know how many people posting here snub companies they know to be tax dodgers. It strikes me as a bit hypocritical to complain that Government haven't stopped tax dodging if you buy stuff from Amazon.

Seems very sensible.
I'm not sure I agree. It's not down to us to police. I pay money to a company and I assume they pay what they owe. Not everyone can research every company they want to deal with to make the choice. The government should cut out the loopholes (totally agree that it's difficult to do mind).
There is a tax based on sales but that is applicable to the consumer at the point of sale so I'm not really seeing the relevance to corporation tax.
Paying your employees good wages or bonuses doesn't exempt a company from its legal and moral obligation to pay its taxes.
Yes and profit is calculated after taxable costs such as wages and bonuses. So the wages a company pay become irrelevant in the application of corporation tax, I don't why you brought it up.Paying your employees would be a cost, and costs lower profit, and corporation tax is on profit.
As a company Facebook made massive profit and a large portion of that was generated in the uk. By artificially creating a loss in the uk in order to bypass( illegally it turns out) British tax laws they are in contempt of their obligations. The wages and bonuses paid out are a tax avoidance scheme and about as valid as a Ponzi scheme.Facebook paid low tax. Because they had low profits. They paid their staff a lot. This lowered profits. Paying your staff a lot is not, I believe, a bad thing. Therefore, paying low tax because you paid your staff a lot, is not, I believe, a bad thing. I don't know why you got confused.
Wages (and any other deductible expenses) are hugely relevant to corporation tax. I don't know how you could think otherwise.
