Corporation tax, specifically. And you'd have to be hopelessly optimistic to think there won't be more rises. In the background there's the frozen thresholds.Stevo_666 said:

This is just the Tory equivalent of when Labour say the Tories are going to privatise the NHS. A bit of a dog whistle with nothing to back it up.Stevo_666 said:

Just to be clear, this is not a moan about the rate being too high. Just an observation on the direction of travel. It means we will have less to play with when looking at pay reviews for our staff; invest in training and IT.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

That's usually ok. Disallowances e.g. corporate entertainment and also businesses need working capital and that money is taxed.rjsterry said:Late payers?

They are also looking at getting a publicly owned renewable energy developer set up that will partner with the private sector.
They’ve made some bad decisions too - supporting the pie in the sky Circuit of Wales and proposed studios / theme park in Bridgend (although there has been some film studio development there). Scrapping the planned M4 relief road around Newport is still likely to have a negative impact on investment in Wales.0 -

I think there are fair criticisms of health and education outcomes but whether that is anything to do with the colour of the rosette is anyone's guess. Grumbling about taxes being put up is pretty ironic.
The more obvious point is: If Welsh Labour is so awful, why can the Welsh Conservatives not get people to vote for them?1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)
