Business chiefs call for tax cuts to boost investment A survey of business leaders by the Centre for Policy Studies has found Britain is becoming a less attractive place in which to invest due to the Government’s failure to develop a strategy that made an irresistible case for Britain as a place to do business. In a report published today, it says: "Investors are not only worried about the UK's trajectory but concerned that the Government is not as focused on the problem as it should be. While they welcome steps such as the creation of the Office for Investment, there is a consensus that we are too reliant on, and complacent about, our existing advantages. And if the Government has a story to tell investors about why post-Brexit Britain is the best place to come, it is not one that enough of them have heard." The report offers a ten-point plan to revive Britain's attractiveness to overseas investors, including cancelling the rise in corporation tax, which is due to go up from 19% to 25% by 2026. The report also calls on the Government to extend "special tax regimes that bring wealth and talent to Britain" and "enhance tax breaks that boost investment". It wants ministers to introduce "cutting-edge regulatory frameworks to capture new markets" and to put a "new competitiveness unit at the heart of government".
