Retirement age must move as life expectancy grows, says WEF

Just keep running down the NHS and stop providing social care. The elderly that havent planned enough for retirement would soon stop being a burden to younger workers in the UK

Brexit killed any hopes of growth in global technology spending

Re: Lean the Tax Process

Really easily. its vastly easier to calculate revenue than profit and doesn't have as much scope for creativity as profit as you cant just make up costs. Companies tend to use sales revenue by geography for targets so there BI systems are already setup to report it. A 1% tax on revenue would easily net more than current corporate tax on profits.

Lean the Tax Process

rather than arguing over the ineffectiveness of the over-complicated Profit based tax laws. Why not simplify the tax system and tax on Revenue generated from UK customers.
