coldel Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Nah it will never happen, the Daily Mail told us so, so it must be true. I think any reasonable person must acknowledge that financial passporting is hugely important to EU finance trade and stuff like this was inevitable. I think whats more challenging is that many living outside of London will feel it has no impact on them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the up side though, some good news for Torqen and the impending doom for his business, the answer is above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Not entirely true - there were benefits to basing financial centres in London that outweighed any taxation costs (such as infrastructure, a massive concentration of skilled labour, government support as the main industry of the UK, actually taxation of financial institutions was deemed favourable in the UK etc). Whereas Starbucks offshored to avoid paying tax full-stop. If it was a tax issue the banks would have gone a long time ago, they don't need an excuse to do anything they wield enough clout to make their own decisions.

Sargara Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 The entire article is based on a director of a company that exports 85-90% of his products to EU being scared of a no-deal Brexit, its hardly a ground breaking exclusive as LBC are trying to spin it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How you can write an article like that and fail to mention that an 18% tariff will be slapped on our fish exports is beyond me. Thats what will kill it, not the customs delays.

Adrian@TORQEN Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 During the Wilson/Heath years (1964-74), the UK was the “Sick Man of Europe.” This BBC documentary should be required viewing for everyone who wants to Make Britain Great Again by leaving the EU...

Did you just assume people actually read full articles and watch all videos? But yeah, based on reciprocity, mainly due to the fact that there's over 1 million UK citizens living in the EU, as well as EU ones in the UK. It just makes sense and there's no need for visas for short stays (up to 90 days) Edited February 1, 2019 by Maggz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
