Re: Ok but how much tax is fair?
Higher taxes on dividends would be one way.
Do we have any figures on how many shareholders pay tax on our dividends? I don't (I make extensive use of tax avoidance measures including a Pension, an ISA, and VCT and EIS breaks). Neither do the many foreign shareholders who are not UK taxpayers.
Corporation tax as it stands now is not fit for purpose. How to fix it (short of abolition) is above my pay grade.
