Manufacturers publish tax manifesto to drive rebalanced economy

The UK’s tax system is tilted against manufacturing, stands in the way of growing a more balanced economy and needs major reform, according to a major report published today by EEF, the manufacturers’ organisation

The report ‘Tax reform for a balanced economy’ lays down the gauntlet to the chancellor and his Shadow counterparts. It sets out reforms which would provide an immediate boost to high-tech investment and innovation and create an internationally competitive tax system that helps to repair the public finances in the medium term.
