They already said the top 5% of earners (anyone earning £80,000+) will pay more
How have you not seen or heard this?
I'm sure we went through this already - in a global market you can just act alone and start taxing the big corps because they just up sticks and base themselves out of another country (with the jobs lost in the process).
meaningless statement
which the tories will never do because they're the ones exploiting them

ohh yes, i'm sure amazon and starbucks will refuse to have a tax on their PROFITS and never trade here again. get a clue.

Labour have said no tax rises for those earning less than £80k (i.e. 95% of the population).
It looks like they'll try to raise the money they need through taxing the top 5% more, through reversing cuts in corporation tax and through being tougher on firms that evade/aggressively avoid paying tax.
As opposed to...
Brexit means Brexit; Red, white and blue Brexit; Strong and stable, strong and stable
err if you didnt know - in a global market they seem to not make any profit here and move that money abroad to pay it somewhere else
61% supported the ban at the time:

Or, in this one, 72% thought it should not be legal:

Get out of here with your fake news cheesyboy
We already have one of the lowest corporation tax rates in the world and we planning on dropping it lower, year by year. France and Germany are both 33% for example and we are 19%.

In fact compared to what it used to be before the Tories came in, the drop in corporation tax means £18 billion less revenue for the Treasury each year. Each 1% reduction reduces the revenue by another £2b if I remember correctly.
Of course its not as simple as that, like most things, as the argument goes that a lower rate of corporation tax means businesses can afford to invest more and encourages other businesses to move here which then both increases the tax revenue to the Treasury. And as you have noted with some companies looking at perhaps moving due to Brexit, making it less appealing to them on corporation tax to stay here might not be a good idea. Suppose a lot depnds on the Brexit we have. If we still have a customs and tariff free trade with the EU post Brexit (we wont), nobody will need to move anyway.
I am not convinced that we need to keep lowering the corporation tax rate, year on year though. The revenue can only be replaced ultimately by taxes on people one way or another (Tory stealth tax like Insurance tax which is now 12%)
what's your point? that's the loophole - close it. because they definitely do make profit here otherwise, according to everyone saying that these companies will move elsewhere if we tax them, why would they operate here for NO profit? it's a self-defeating argument.
no, these are all meaningless statements
i get the feeling you think i'm pro-brexit or pro-conservative or something. you saying you reckon that tax isn't going to be enough is based on bugger all is my point.B@
I know, right!Get out of here with your fake news cheesyboy
"Sample Size: 1748"
"sample of 1,013 adults"
"sample of 1,003"
Context is important
Indeed.

You close it - they move the money to Ireland or Luxembourg and pay the tax there. Theres a fine balance between what you can do offset against how much money you will get out of them. Its not as simple as you think it is
Where's your 'alternative facts' son?"Sample Size: 1748"

If true, how ironic that Brexit still happens but fox hunting will return on similar percentages!
Sorry I don't understand the question
I know what you're saying, they're jigging the books to make it seem like there's no profit being made here and saying they're making all their profit somewhere they can pay far less tax - but you can't tell me there's absolutely nothing than can be done. it's a disgrace they pay so little
B@
Well, I;ve provided some factual links - surveys showing that fox hunting ban was strongly supported at the time it was enacted.Sorry I don't understand the question
You've dismissed those facts under the erroneous belief that 1000+ samples are inadequate, but haven't offered up opposing facts. Where are those facts to support your position?
