I wouldn't need it if Poland hadn't secretly invaded south Wandsworth and taken over the rubbish industry But yeh arigato
it's not about "pissing off" business but allowing them to grow and take chances as that is the only way to grow the economy nut yes there has to be a balance that they pay their fair share in tax
Corporation tax is relatively tiny in terms of it's overall contribution to the exchequer... you need to keep that in check in order to attract multinationals to set-up here ... and then start paying over 2 of the biggest contributors, VAT and employment taxes ...
What I mean is how it affects his pocket, it's all relative Unless you're rich and you've got **** loads anyway AND avoid tax.
I've heard similar stories to yours in distribution. When they couldn't get the Brits to fill the jobs they were advertised abroad with specific agencies - then any English speaking workers (such as Brits) would be put in the stores. Sometimes in new developments there would be conditions attached to planning to employ local workers, yeah right, so the foreign workers then only had to move into the area, then they were local lol.
Just a guess, the wages would be paid to the agencies who then pay their employees, so not sure how that all works legally with foreign workers if they would still have to be paid our minimum wage?
Still a relative minnow compared to Income tax, NIC and VAT ... but don't take my word for it ... https://ifs.org.uk/taxlab/taxlab-key-questions/where-does-government-get-its-money ... strap line sums it up ...
I'm not sure mate, UK employment law has probably brought it all into alignment now. But I remember years ago a Hindu temple was being built in the UK and they were bringing in Indian stonemasons to and paying them something like £8 per day
