• The 'billions' being removed from the Scottish economy: clear misunderstanding of how corporation tax works. Moving a registered office to London does nothing for the tax liability of the company for the economic activity taking place inside Scotland. i.e fuck all difference. It's like saying NatWest opening a call center in India means the UK loses out on the fucking profit. The RBS has itself rubbished any notion of moving business out of Scotland, LLoyds is already based in London, plus ca change.

    I thought the likes of Google and Amazon basing their European operations in Ireland was because the location actually makes fucking lots of difference to their tax liabilities?

  • Dematerialised 'services' such as SEO revenues are hard to define as occurring over any international border... Hence the controversy.
