Quote from Mel Stride (Conservative Treasury Minister) on C4 news this evening: "
Tax should be due where the economic activity takes place" - a pretty simple principle: it's just a pity that the UK and US governments don't apply this principle seriously, due to the influence and lobbying by businesses that stops this.
