Can't remember - given the 2012 budget was back in March

If you mean the Autumn statement made on Wednesday, the cut in corporation tax is only applicable to larger companies. We will still have the 20% rate.
There was mention of clamping down on "avoidance" (I use speech marks because avoidance is legal and is not evasion)Comment

I think the aim to to target "aggressive tax avoidance" - so this seems to be aimed at the artificial tax schemes, usually based offshore, Isle of Man, Jersey etc, in which you pay very little tax, most of the cost being the scheme provider's fee. I guess the schemes used by stars such as Jimmy Carr, Anne Robinson etc, but also by thousands of other less known people.Originally posted by BA to the Stars View Post"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt.
