Tweaking the personal tax 1p or 2p this way or that does nothing
Most people would like to see
A Technological Powerhouse but with English Tolerance and Quirkiness
However time is now very short As more and more countries are able to Economically compete based on Infrastructure Education Market Transparency
At present their are Intractable problems stopping the UK being a Technological First World Nation of the 21st Century.
1 The UK still believes it can succeed like the USA Living off ever increasing Perceived Asset values constructed from past wealth. Therefore so much of its Companies are now servicing that appetite. These companies in general have little risk Provide little benefit to the wider community Do not provide exports. 2 That Bank of England Mandate The High price of sterling, High Commercial Rents Due to NO loose specualtion Meaning it is more expensive to rent commercial space in LEEDS, then it is in Munich Yet Munch is the Home of World Beating names like BMW and Siemens, MBB Airbus, Osram 3 The cleverest people choosing Banking and Services as professions Or simply choosing to speculate themselves on the housing market.
Means Manufacturing of most things in the Uk is just less proftable
Than doing it elsewhere
Which provides Secure well paid Jobs and additional skills for the majority
Creates Support Businesses on a large scale. Provides Substantial Exports We therefore cannot change all these BAD Variables overnight
The problem we must analyse the problem
Which lies in the FACT
Those willing to Manufacture or Develop technologies in the UK
To which everyone benefits in the balance of payments due to exports. Also in National Pride if the item is World beating Get a very watered down Return for the Higher Risk and Investment they make. Our TAX proposals therefore Correct this
Making the INCENTIVE to manufacture Straight forward.
Making it clear To Overseas Companies who have left or who would never consider the UK as Manufacturing Base The Financial Markets That the UK has now set out its stall and knows where it is going.
Is confident and has the Electorates support
1 Import Duty ZERO from all Countries imports. Giving Developing counties the Large UK market in which to exploit This will also keep UK inflation down 2
DISCRIMINATION of Business Tax will be based on
Value to society Long term Value to the Country. This is therefore importantly NOT a Subsidy to any one sector of Industry but a National TAX Policy
Therefore the EEC and USA have NO grounds for argument.
There will be 5 Levels of Company Tax, Overall tax revenue will remain the same Large companies would be able to Split their business into Divisions provided they where in recognized independent locations.
New Ministry of Technology had outlined the new Strategic
These new industries would be given tax levels of justIndustries the UK should make itself number 1 15% for the next 10 years. Once they have a Patent and Marketing any new products that fall into these sectors.
We are here talking very specific products which need to be
Fuel cellsDeveloped by someone and will bring huge TAX revenue and Reputation To the country who wins each Race Aero Space Synthetic Biology Energy Conversion New materials Meaning Market forces and Risk On deciding to spend large sums on ideas many of which will not work Developing those ideas that do into Commercial World Wide Winners Would say YES under our TAX policies Where as at present the answer would be NO Lets develop a shopping Mall instead
SUMMARY OF THE RESULT OF THIS TAX REVISION
1
Overnight the UK would be the Best place to site Technology companies Bringing Quality Jobs Those already here will invest more money as they will have more 2 Service and Finance will remain just means the Banks will pay a little more tax 3 Although some importers will leave some will remain and of course the quality of jobs they provide is low skill 4 Many Marketing companies will leave but the Internet and Broad band means that the service to the NEW UK TECHNOLOGICAL BASE will be just as efficient 5 The EU and USA cannot complain as this is not subsidy but a National Tax policy
This can be done and the UK can have a Self Sustaining Silicon Valley
OR
It can Continue to BUY in even the Technologies it says it wants to compete
The UK may be Developing one of the Worlds Largest Wind farms in the UK However where are the High Value TURBINES coming from Holland and Germany
You may be being pressed into being Green but should you be proud
