CBI REACTS TO GOVERNMENT CONSULTATION ON TAXING FOREIGN PROFITS

1 Jul 2011 12:18 PM

Will Morris, Chair of CBI Tax Committee, said:

“This consultation will make a serious contribution to the Government's pledge to create the most competitive tax system in the G20.

“The Government is rightly continuing to protect the UK’s tax base, while allowing companies owned here much more flexibility when conducting business overseas.

“There remains much work to be done in the coming months to ensure the details of the Government’s proposals match up to its aspirations.”
