  The best way and the swiftest way to cut taxes for all, is for all to pay taxes within the economy from which they derive their profit.
  Tax is an absolute necessity, companies that refuse to pay will still take the expertise, the labour, the education and the health of their workforce and their customers for granted, as if all such appears by shear magic.
  It is not the perceived high rate of taxation that drives down the tax-take. It is the ease with which tax can be avoided (for some) that drives the need for higher taxes from the rest.
  No matter the tax rate the law requires management to maximise return to the share-holder/fly-boy investor. Without effecting this any gravity assisted run around with tax-rate disparity will be fruitless.
  
  "Time and time and time again it has been demonstrated that lowering tax rates increases tax yield."
  
  This is a nonsense that can be matched by an army of tax inspectors trawling a fine-toothed comb through every SME, for this would equally raise the tax take.
  
  Not until there is a requirement for each and every company that operates within our economy (any economy), and is solvent by so doing, should pay a minimum of company tax. It is called a level playing field. The only field upon which any 'Free Market' worthy of the name can play.
  
  " the complex operations required to avoid tax" seem to be little more that one part time bod and one office and one desk. Doing this 'saves' billions of pounds. Can any such arrangement cost more than a fraction of one percent of the tax avoided?
  
  There will be no materialisation of the least " good citizenship in companies", when so much is made of UK Plc. and Global Economy.
  It is time for each Nation State to prioritise 'Nation' and for there to be Wealth in Nations as well as of Nations.
