I would add that it shows that I was discussing the football club and not just politics long ago. The boycott certainly changed that for me, Then again in 2014 the Conservative dismantling of public services was only just in its infancy.

Any chance you can answer my question?

if they do not share the company values- how very necessary!!!

The team needs to work together and understand the ground rules - the ground rules are the values.

People only want to work with people who share the same values - if you leave people in the business who do not share the values you ruin it for all.

So yes, they would be history.

This could be the first time I've ever been able to say this...

Agree 100%

As someone once put it to me, they are like a cancer and need to be cut out early or ideally eliminated in the recruitment process.

So you just punish the wealth creators!!

I would advocate with the same percentage rise for ALL - that way it’s fair. So everyone paying tax would pay say 5% more.

I would also increase Corp tax by an extra 10% for 3 years for every company who benefited from the Furlough until they have repaid what they had back.

20% to 25% = 25% increase
40 % to 45% = 12.5% increase

That’s fair, is it ?

Are you suggesting that the fact 5% extra off someone currently paying at the 40% rate would be far more than those paying 5% extra off those currently on the 20% rate means that is unfair to those losing the considerably larger amount?

As for 30% on businesses surely we have learnt that punitively and uncompetitively high rates of corporation tax actually reduce the sum total of taxation paid to the exchequer and drive businesses abroad thus reducing jobs and the size of the country`s economy, so would be hugely damaging to the country`s economy overall.

Good post.
 
No, I just looked at the percentage increase in tax for the two tax bands

I wouldn’t be against lowering the pay gap between the lowest paid and the highest paid, mind

I'm sorry, it's absolutely true that, pre-Covid- private business has been flocking overseas. Why, it's been almost 24/7 operation Stack on the M20, watching all the Tarquins and Fiona's heading for the ports, bemoaning the way the Tories have redistributed wealth to the working classes in the Midlands and North over the past 10 years.
How can we survive, they moan, with the lowest corporation tax in Europe stealing Daddy's tax-avoided wealth. And our children having to attend charity-status private schools. Thank goodness we can fall back on the crumbs made by our investments based in the Caymen Islands
Meanwhile, back in mainland Britain, hear this: the tax-avoiding, so-called entreprenneurs would pay 25% corporation tax as a minimum on all their UK derived profits and a minimum 45% income tax on earnings over £70k, and 60% on all earnings over £100k.
If they still want to head overseas, they can go with my blessing. Their UK assets, aside from one residence, would be sequestrated.

Up the Pool.

Bear in mind that the first thing the Tories did on taking office was cut higher rate income tax from 50% to 45% then 40%. It hasn't gone back up.
