FD Capital’s Appeal for a 19% Corporation Tax Reduction in the March Budget

FD Capital, at the forefront of the UK’s financial recruitment scene, is appealing to the Government for a slash in both personal and corporate taxation in the forthcoming March budget, condemning the recent upsurge in Corporation tax. The agency is pressing for an immediate strategy to reduce the corporation tax to 19% or even lower to avert further harm to the UK’s economic outlook.

The recruitment leader suggests that a reduction to 19% in corporation tax could be feasible in the March 2023 budget through significant cuts in government outlays and a decrease in civil service personnel, which are among the measures already proposed by the government in light of the impending general election.

Corporation tax is often viewed as the most economically detrimental tax, with the repercussions predominantly felt by the company’s workforce and the general populace. A cut in corporation tax is advocated to benefit the entire economic spectrum, from salary increments to the lure of new international investments.

Previously, the government had reduced corporation tax from 28% to 19% by 2018. However, Rishi Sunak, in his tenure as chancellor, proposed raising it to 25% from April 2023, attributing the hike to the fiscal deficits faced by the government due to the pandemic. Liz Truss briefly considered reversing this hike, which was ultimately enacted by Jeremy Hunt as Chancellor in the Sunak administration in 2023.

The notion that corporations bear the brunt of higher corporation tax rates is misguided, with recent analyses indicating that the impact is distributed between the owners of corporations and employees in lower-wage brackets.

The UK’s ambition to maintain its post-Brexit vibrancy is contingent upon its appeal as a top-tier global business destination. Yet, the UK’s corporation tax rate is less competitive on a global scale, especially when juxtaposed with the Republic of Ireland’s 12.5% rate.

By proposing a reduction in corporation tax to 19%, FD Capital believes this move would catalyse economic revival by bolstering the UK’s international competitiveness and stimulating growth through enhanced business confidence and fresh investments.
