ALISTAIR Darling moved to halt the exodus of UK firms seeking lower tax regimes abroad.
The Chancellor will launch a tax-exemption scheme for large and medium-sized businesses on the dividends paid on their foreign subsidiaries. Darling also launched a review of the "controlled foreign companies anti-avoidance rules" consistent, which he said would move towards a "territorial approach".

Exodus of companies is one thing, but how about the exodus of people? Australia looks good to many folk.

Just about anywhere looks good at the moment!

I note the changes do not apply to smaller businesses. Only the Big Boyz.

What I'd like to see is a tax-exemption scheme for British taxpayers, not for foreign businesses.

It's time we taught Labour just who precisely they're working for.
