Maybe theres an argument to only seek tax receipts on certain transactions + corp tax

Like stock trading

So VAT?

No no

On business receipts

But this is pie in the sky

Maybe just like when money moves or transactions happen in money markets

You would have to impliment that strategy slowly.

For sure

Corporation tax should be based on how much societal good your company does

Not sure I can get on board for that

Maybe the reverse

At least partly, anyway

You get punishment taxes for violating social norms etc

As in... You get taxed less if you're doing good

Yes that's what I mean

So like, dumping shit in the river, bad move cunt, 10% tax

yup

holy fuck

The fact of taxation is that you must tax the productive elements of your economy, rather than the dregs. Business is the productive element of the economy, and therefore the majority of taxation should be levied there, as needs be. Taxing people after already taxing companies, simply shunts the burden of taxation from the wealthy, to the ordinary.

Fair

interesting

uhhh that is far too broadstroke

business != wealthy

and person != poor

I dont think that's what it says

its implied

It is, but taxes have to be applied broadly

I think the general is that normal employees are not uber wealthy

However you manage them

And that businesses are generally wealth holders/creators

The end goal would be to only apply taxation to those businesses which recieve market protections, enforced by the state, and bring the majority of people out of the need for it.

So patent holders etc

Want the benefit? Pay the cost, etc.

you'd just have businesses pull out and place their HQs in the EU

@notaglobe Not limited to that, as Government does a lot more.

you'd need the threshold to be too high to sustain the outpour from the Exchequer

Indeed. That can be solved by not recognising any business HQ's outside of your own country, and writing into law that all business done by a firm within the UK, or other, is in fact UK business. If the sales take place here its UK business. Production the same, etc.

Cant we cull the government size

It would be a corrolery of this form of taxation, as the funds simply could not be raised from business alone.
