That is a (promised by politicians) soon to be corporation tax rate of 17% on U.K. earnings. With the EU fighting against transfer pricing that may not be the advantage it would have been in the past.

If the UK protect my corporate earnings by allowing transfer pricing then so be it. But that will be defined as a shady deal by every one but Britain!

strangely and inexplicably, you never seem to describe Luxembourg's tax policies under Juncker as 'shady', but why should you be honest, decent and fair minded when you have a position to sell.

Perfect Tromking that's exactly what I mean.
Remember Britains financial industry is one of the largest in the world. Luxembourg has been called a shady Tax haven so what is wrong in saying Britain wants to strike some sweetheart deals of it own.

I have spent a bit of time researching companies based in Luxembourg as well as a lot of time looking at company docs on the UK registry. The first is very opaque in comparison to the second. It is easier to look at companies here.

Have a go at finding info about a company and you'll see what I mean.

It isn't as easy to operate as a shady tax haven when anyone can go look stuff up.

In which case you would also need to include 1979...(unless you are under 37!)

It is true that the English have long championed for people to be able to choose their own form of government.
Your issue is that you/SNP can't impose a dictatorship on the people of scotland and force them to agree with you.

The twit is yourself for showing such intolerance although no surprise.

I think gfplux knows that proper nations like the UK generally do things properly. Living in Eurozone central as he does he also realises that the narrative that the UK is not just leaving the EU but somehow going 'rogue' has to be propagated with vigour. The stakes are high for nothing countries like Luxembourg who's future is so reliant on the continued existence of the EU as is.

You seem to be unaware of the EU Commission Work Programme for 2017 which intends to harmonise corporation tax rates at 25% throughout the bloc.

Yes I am totally unaware of this.

Thank you for that Vivatacosi,
Hopefully you did not spend too much time or money in this research.

Exactly right Tromking, Luxembourg as a founding member of the EU has a lot at stake. A small country of +/- 500000 has managed to do rather well thank you.
It's a shame that Britain with well over 60,000,000 people has missed its opportunity during its 40 plus years of membership.
You are so right, living as I do in "Eurozone Central" I have had to watch Britain miss opportunity after opportunity to take a central role in Europe.
However that is all water under the bridge. Now Britain has a new opportunity. Given its track record I am some what dubious that it can or knows how to grasp that opportunity.
Please remember as Britain is launched in to this unknown known of unknown we British nationals left to our own devices do wish you luck.
