Yes but as all companies are their own entity they should all maximise use of revenue to build and improve. Shareholders may like dividends but they also like rising stock prices and get value both ways. As a shareholder I prefer my investments to be in successful companies investing in their future rather than companies being gutted to increase shareholder (more usually board member) wealth

Corp tax is paid on profits and business investment reduces profit so level of CTax not an issue there. Also a good businessman aims for a zero profit scenario which proves they've maximised use of income. In any case you should be salting £60K for each Director into executive pensions to minimise profit

Corp tax is up from 19% to 25% = less money for investment, higher interest rates = businesses must increase profitability to pay more dividends (and dividend taxes up also), otherwise why risk capital when some banks already pay 3%+?
Thank you pro-business low-tax Tory Scum party

If only that were true about the IT jobs market and rates. High interest rates are destroying demand for new IT projects. Companies paying more debt interest have less money to waste on expensive IT projects.
Also the FTSE 250 is still in a bear market, down over 20% from all time highs. Im looking for a breakout above 21,000 as a signal the worst might be behind us. Probably not going to happen anytime soon if they keep on raising rates.

That’s bad news for people who looking to take out a mortgage, or remortage, soon.
The yield, or interest rate, on UK two-year government bonds has hit 4.73% this morning, up from 4.62% last night, after this morning’s jobs report showed regular pay growing at the fastest rate on record.
That is slightly higher than the peak seen in the turmoil after last autumn’s mini-budget, when chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng’s plan for unfunded tax cuts spooked the markets.
