Re: Nowt to do with Amazon

Change the law so you pay corporation tax if you fail to make a profit due to investing in growing the business ( insane )?

Change the law so you pay higher business rates if you use low value land for a warehouse in an industrial estate than if you use highly sought after land in the town centre ( daft )?

Change the law so you can't shop VAT rates around the EU ( sensible but that depends on, shall we say, other events, we'll see )?

Change the law so you pay a tax on revenue ( ie: increase VAT )? People weren't chuffed about the 17.5% > 20% increase. Why would they be happy about increasing that further ( are we going to pretend that a tax on revenue isn't basically just increasing VAT ? )

Change the law so the international arm of a company ( ie: UK arm ) can't buy goods and services from other arms of the same firm ( batshit crazy )?
