A better idea would be to turn areas of deprivation into no tax at all zones. If you run a business and live there all revenues are either dropped or dramatically reduced.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

I am all for big reduction in taxes for all - not just those who think they can afford big lawyers to justify unjustifiable.
Having lower tax in deprived areas is correct idea however cretins in the Govt don't want to implement it propertly, say Osborne tried two things so far:
1) NIC holidays for firms in deprived areas - TOTAL FAIL because they only made it for newly formed companies from the moment of announcement
2) Enterprise zones - some relief in business rates, TOTAL FAIL so far, it's been over year since they announced it without specifics: out of academic interest I was asking some people around for details to find out exactly how this time they find way NOT to give tax breaks, turns out that only new buildings in those areas will have such tax benefits
I do not believe for a moment Osborne is that dumb not to know that his proposals would be totally crippled by Treasury: his public policy in this respect is therefore an utter cynical lie.
Conclusion - Osborne is a twat of the highest order. Coward too - sending junior lady minister to explain his own cowardly decision.Comment
