Mike Devereux on offshore profits

14 May 2008

I think Mike Devereux of the Oxford Centre for Business Taxation has posed the policy dilemma on the foreign profits move quite well.

In last week's Economist, he says: 'The more successful tax collectors are in preventing firms from shifting profit out of Britain, the more they are likely to encourage firms to leave the country.'

That just about sums up the futility of the government's policy.

Thanks for the post, good info. It's hard to find useful information these days. Every blog or site you go to is just copy posting the same old content just to be “blogging”. It's refreshing to hear something different, no matter the topic. Anyways thank you.

Vehicles typically include headlamps and tail lights. Headlamps are white or selective yellow lights placed in the front of the vehicle, designed to illuminate the upcoming road and to make the vehicle more visible. Tail and brake lights are red and emit light to the rear so as to reveal the vehicle's direction of travel to following drivers. White rear-facing reversing lamps indicate that the vehicle's transmission has been placed in the reverse gear, warning anyone behind the vehicle that it is moving backwards, or about to do so. Flashing turn signals on the front, side, and rear of the vehicle indicate an intended change of position or direction.
