certain big corporations are getting away with paying very little or none.At least all companies should be forced to pay at the rate set down by law
I think we all pay to much tax . And who is this tax man . And how do I apply.  But without them things like NHS.  Wouldn't exist. No more cuts . The rich need to put in more as they on more .
the taxes are increases all the time for joe public and living costs, as someone that is disabled I have seen monetary cuts having to give up work after working for 20 years.. My husband is having to fight for Pip and is in 32 week wait to get to court and therefore gets no money but if you are a friend of the Tories they will lower your taxes and make sure everyone else suffers.
The UK needs more money, especially for the NHS, and corporations aren't paying their fair share
I don't know enough about it to have an opinion
i feel i pay enough council tax now has it is
The UK has the lowest corporation tax of the G8 and we are apparently short of money for the health service, education , armed forces, police services fire services and local authorities so I think corporations that benefit from those services should help towards them more
I think that corporations should be taxed more and citizens should be taxed less
Because corporations earn billions and yet there_Ñés huge amounts of inequality and poverty in Britain. Taxing them is the only way to balance it out
Because this will bring more income into the country
I don't know much about this so can't comment either way
Less burden on companies It helps companies grow/survive
This would allow personal tax to be reduced
In the end it is the customer who pays for the tax & a lower tax increases business
As they make more money then the average person
Corporation tax does not affect me directly but might help with economy
dont understand what impact this would have
I don't think it's the right way to keep highering the taxa we all struggle now
The companies that make the most money should pay higher in tax.
As we are leaving the EU a rise in corporation at this time would not wise
Huge companies like amazon should have to pay more tax
To help close the wealth gap and fund the underprivileged
A place where profit warnings, i.e. it's is still in profit, but not as much as the head honchos would like, leads to job losses, is pure greed and these companies need to be taxed higher too compensate the increase in former employees possibly requiring financial assistance
I am not sure what corporation tax is so I neither agree nor disagree
I neither agree or disagree because it's not really relevant to me
Less corporation tax means companies will relocate and invest in the UK
If corporation tax is increased there would be an increase in investments which would bring about growth, increase  in productivity and individual wages because in a way the economy has being kick started.
It's currently at a low level (has been reduced) and the NHS and various other public services (prisons, public libraries, police, Probation service etc etc ) could do with some funds
A lot of businesses are current struggling especially those on the high Street or smaller businesses so don't think this would be the right time. Need to go after the big companies that avoid paying their fair share.
as things are not going well in the UK, raising the tax may levate problems here, but its got to be done without major impact
the tax of cooperation is a necessity when it comes to a self sustaining government and society
Enough is paid already and businesses need to thrive
Underfunding of public services- have to find the money somehow
I think most taxes are high enough already
I don't know what this means either hence my answer
I don't know enough about the subject to form a strong view
For what reason? High taxes put toff people and meke them more inlined to look elsewhere
I dont know enough about the subject to comment
I don't know anything about corporation tax
Post-brexit we'll need businesses to help prop up the economy and provide employment. Less corporation tax would make us more appealing to big businesses.
There are a number of large businesses who do not pay tax or pay comparatively little tax to the general populace and small businesses
The UK should focus on making sure existing corporation tax is paid fairly before considering increasing it
Corporations should pay a fair share of their tax rather than avoid it.
Some companies get away with paying to little tax
Taxation is the way to provide funds for infastructure growth.  Also a lot of corporations use more of the resources.
I think there have been enough rises in costs and another hike in prices is not gonna help anybody
I feel that large companies should contribute more tax
It will Stop companies having cash to reinvest
Too many big companies avoid taxes treat their workers badly and pay low wages while bosses shareholders make a fortune
Get the big companies paying more ,their profits are too big
should make sure companies pay a fair amount without discouraging businesses from starting up in UK
on one hand  - it will raise revenues BUT Companies have enough pressure on their profit margines.
I do not know what the corporation tax is set at now so do not have a valid opinion
Consumers pay corporation tax through higher prices.
Many companies get away with low taxes and should be made to pay
It's already high enough, as with all taxes
cos there's a lot of foreign companies that are getting away with it.
Businesses who are making money off of the British public should be liable to give back to the British public and therefore should pay more in tax
To be able to pay for social services provided to the country
To continue to fund services like the NHS, raising corporate tax is a necessity.
the uk is always increase things thats why people are never better off
No we should not. Working class people dont earn enough to pay more out on tax
Must get an even spread tax system that is fair for all.
Corporations Own a lot of the power held in the country therefore should be liable for more taxes
I am not sure increasing corporation tax is the answer to all of our problems.
Businesses are struggling at present so further increases in taxes will not help them to grow. However, should their be an unturn in the economic growth then an increase in corporation tax would justifiable option.
Think then the money should be put back into communities.
Many corporations pay too little tax. It should be put towards helping the UK people
I think corporation tax is already high and further rises will cause more companies to set up outside of the uk and dodge tax. More should be done to address these companies before raising taxes
Don't know enough about tidy particular tax to comment fairly
Large corporations should contribute some of the wealth accrued in the country they trade
with theuncertainity with the economy i would keep the status quo. when things settle then make a decision
It does not apply to me and not sure wether limited companies paying it makes a difference to me or not
I think corporation tax is as expensive as it needs to be already
To ensure the government are remunerated for public services, etc. consumed by big business
Increasing the tax would create more revenue for the government which would be a good thing, however on the flip side, what affect would that have on the running of businesses, their ability to keep paying the same number of staff the same pay and the goods on the shelves maintaining (not increasing) in price, especially in these uncertain financial times.
Im not sure what the best answer would be, maybe best to keep it as it is
We are already one of the highest taxed nations and it is impossible for people to better themselves with how high the cost of living is
If corporation tax is reduced prices to customers may reduce
Corporations get away with paying minimal tax and could contribute more
Why not!! They get away with not paying what they should whilst the individual is taxed to the max
need to gauge implications before deciding
It should be raised slightly but more importantly it should be better inforced so multi national corporations can give more to UK government
Company's should be contributing more to the country so that we can all live happier lives
I don_Ñét know enough about the subject to have a strong opinion
Becoz then the crowed of people will reduce here
It would only put up the cost of living which is already quite high.
Lower corporation tax encourages businesses to invest, it also attracts incoming business from multi nationals, ie Ireland
I don_Ñét know much about corporation tax
Everyone should pay their fair share of taxes and corporations should be forced to pay and not be allowed to use loopholes or tax havens to avoid it
People who own companies usually have a higher income than average working person therefore their tax should be higher not a normal employees
Austerity, the rich get richer with more tax breaks, i think taxes for those who easily can afford them should be raised
Too much corporate tax avoidance has hit our future budgets and areas such as the healthcare system, housing, welfare support need assistance
Corporation Tax is used to assist the government in collecting funding to run the country as well as improving infrastructure ... so it could be described as an essential taxation.
I don_Ñét really know enough about it to agree or disagree
You want businesses to come here and thrive. Increasing taxes is a way of making them look elsewhere. I think that it would be better to make sure that they all pay what they are legally supposed to pay and closing of those loopholes that let them avoid paying the takes that they should morally pay.
Tax the bigger companies more but leave the small businesses alone.
s/autumn-budget-2017 Evidence suggests the UK should prioritise upgrading infrastructure, improving skills, helping businesses to invest, and reforming the housing and planning systems (b). The government has already made significant progress: increasing public investment in infrastructure and innovation, enhancing skills and delivering a competitive tax regime so why the increment. I hear the Chancellor is planning to cut it down
rich people in corporations  should pay more tax because they can
The UK would benefit if they increased ut
After Brexit we need to attract investment
I think bigger companies should have to pay more but smaller ones with lower incomes should not
For me, I think companies should be paying a larger amount of tax
The uk as to make sure that business don't take there companies to other countries. So that the work forces jobs can remain safe
I don't care, taxes will always rise and people will always be poor and struggle everyday to make ends meet and nobody will care or do anything about it, so I give up with this government. They will do what is in their best interests.
To much tax could mean businesses leave the uk and there our economy and tanks
I believe corporation tax could be raised by a couple of percent as some businesses generate huge amounts of profit and don_Ñét seem to pay a fair amount of tax and it would seem an individuals tax is always raised first ,
The working people make all of the products and run all of the services, which means they create all of the wealth, therefore the corporations are taking our money.  So the corporations should put it back into society
Large corporations have been avoiding tax for years and under the conservative government they have enjoyed years of low corporation tax while the rest of society has been taxed to the hilt!! Time to rebalance things! Make large corporations pay their fair share!
think it is fine where it is at the moment
I had my own business and corporation tax ans business rates were a heavy burden
It's difficult to pay taxes and try to afford anything else you need on small wages
Businesses take a disproportionate size of the burden for society
I think companies should pay a greater amount of corporation tax
Increasing the tax on companies should help the country
When we leave the EU we will need to attract business to invest in the UK and any increase in taxes not a good way to do this
More revenue for the government helps pay off the national debt
I chose to agree because the government needs to re-iterate everything that they're doimg and start again on a clean slate
It depends on what the increase would be used for
companies are having a hard time at moment, do not need additional taxes
Need to encourage Business especially given Brexit
From what I remember, it has been decreased recently, despite supposedly being in a time of austerity.  Again and again we hear the government making statements along the lines of 'we all gave to take our share of the burden' yet this has been disproportionately on the weakest members of society, such as the poor, sick & disabled ever since the Conservatives came to power.  It is time it was shared much more broadly.  I have never believed 'austerity' makes economic sense, however if that is the road we are going to go down I would like to see the stronger members of society take more of the burden.  Bear in mind that tax is only paid as a proportion of profits.
It would price business out and affect employment
Business should take a higher burden of tax collection
it would cause inflation and stop  investment from overseas.
I think we are taxed enough already. Taxed when you earn it, spend it, save it, etc. Isn't it something like 76pence out of every pound goes on tax? The money could be spent more wisely rather than take even more off people. They reckon average person (or couple?) needs ë£19,000 a year just to live. Why tax you on that and then give it back to you on different benefits/help. Better to let people earn ë£20,000 and pay no tax. Over that you pay tax. Solve alot of problems. Easier. Things like NHS has huge amounts of waste, huge. Councils waste huge amounts. Too many bosses, too many people who don't do job properly and don't care. Contracts for schools that stand empty. Consultation fees, waste waste waste. So No don't increase tax, just stop the waste.
UK's current corporation taxation is lower than other G7 countries and the current rate is unacceptable.
I don_Ñét know enough about what it is and how it would affect the uk job market
Big business should pay more corporation tax but smaller/medium companies shouldnt. It would be better to tax high earners as taxing business effects the economy more.
Because I believe that the big businesses should pay more tax to specifically bolster the NHS.
People are already paying to much because the government don_Ñét  want to decrease their own pay
Businesses create jobs, so lower cost to employers means more jobs.
Certain corporations get tax breaks and they shouldn't
It_Ñés a difficult one lower tax encourages growth but a fair tax against profits needs to happen
BECAUSE IT MIGHT GIVE US MORE MONEY FOR THE nhs
I don_Ñét really have an opinion on it yet
Don't really know what corporation tax would do if it was increased or decreased
This tax has been reduced over recent years and the burden passed to those less able to withstand it.
If that increases, then the common persons will also increase
no businesses pay enough we do not want to lose them
Large corporations often don't pay enough tax. We also need that tax to support our public services, particularly the NHS, Police and Fire Brigade and give those people who work in them a decent living wage!!!
i think everything and everyone are being taxed too much
We pay alot of tax each month already and dependent on wage takes an fair chunk of it
i think it is fine as it is, it should just rise in line with inflation
Until Brexit is finished we need to keep things as they are and only change things when we are certain we can afford to do so.
People are struggling to live her tax out of there ears
Corporations create jobs and national wealth.
Well that means your paying more money you might not have
Personal tax should be reduced in favour of increasing tax on large corporations
First I think they need to make sure all corporations are paying tax, that may stop them having to increase tax.
I am undecided but would support if put in fat cat bosses and bankers
We pay too much tax on alot of things ie peteol, vat
sometimes tax is essential for funding nhs and others
Big companies should pay the right amount of tax to profit earnings instead of having massive tax cuts
Businesses should have to pay all their taxes so we don't have to pay thousands for useless things.
There are lots of industries that need money and corporations can pay
I am not up to speed with this proposal so need to know more about the Governments reasons.
IN THIS DAY AND AGE, IT IS VERY EASY FOR A BUSINESS TO GO ELSEWHERE
COMPANY FAR TO MUCH MONEY AND HENSE WHY COMPANY'S STRUGGLE TO STAY OPEN PAYING OUT TO MUCH PROFIT
Companies should pay money to be in action
WE WILL SCARE OF COMPANY WHICH WE NEED DUE TO BREXIT
We should encourage business growth and development in the UK amongst all the political uncertainty I.e. brexit but businesses should pay tax to support the region and have access to the benefits of the region
We pay lots of taxes that go to pay benefits and this should be reduced
Big corporations tend to find loopholes.
I am not in a position to make that judgement
It seems that businesses get away with paying very little tax thats if they are paying any at all as there is loop holes
we clearly need more money from taxation if we are to maintain current and planned national spending and public services; however, increasing corporation tax could be a negative factor for any foreign company that is looking to invest/move to the UK; it could be a disincentive for UK businesses to stay and persuade them, along with the current uncertainty about Brexit, to carry out their 'threats' and move out of Britain
Businesses have a hard time making a profit and higher taxes are the last thing they need.
In the uk it is one of the lowest in the world
might put off companies coming to Britain
I think it should be fair but don_Ñét know enough about tax to have a valid opinion
Companies should pay more than lowly paid individuals
The poor cannot take any more deductions from their salary
LOWER TAXES ENABLES INVESTMENT AND JOB CREATION
We need a way to raise more money without taking it from people who are already struggling to make ends meet
Not sure. I don't know a lot about it but I suspect that corporations would just pass the expense onto their customers.
It will lead to higher unemployment and attract less business to the UK.
corporations have a responsibility to pay for the betterment of society instead of lining the pockets of individuals
i think that we pay alot of tax so its only fair that big companies pay more to contribute to society
Increase in corporation tax will increase company costs and therefore reduced money for investment and employment
Because the big men should pay more to help the little men out.
I don't know enough about it to have a strong opinion
don't know enough about corporation tax to answer this
Corporation tax will indirectly  regulate
corporation tax should be increased as alot of big businesses shirk paying their way,why should tax paying workers pay for fatcat businessmen
Brexit uncertainty makes this a silly policy until certainly is restored for business. Tax will lead to unnecessary extra pressures in the system.
Corporation's should be held accountable
Any raise in taxes would help the British economy.
Corporations not paying appropriate tax is an issue
Just an answer - at my age I cant remember who it is aimed at but I know it isnt me
Corporation Tax at a high level stifles business
THEY EARN LOTS OF MONEY SO SHOULD PAY MORE
It sounds too general a statement so I couldn't agree or disagree.
UK needs to remain as competitive as it can due to current political and economic climate
There is alot of business and people struggling with taxes, which the increase would make other things more expensive and businesses closing
I have attached my r for your reference and reference for the job best for the job ist I have attached my r for your
Brexit is coming doing this now would not be a good move
I think the large companies should pay more
need more tax, and big corporations try to avoid paying fair share
Depends wether you mean "increase Corporation Tax  AND OTHER TAXES as well." If that is the case I agree, but if you meant "Increase Corporation Taxes on their own then   NO.
I pay enough tax as it is and cant afford to pay more
Because I feel like that they get taxed enough
Yes companies should pay more to help services in uk
Cop ration tax could help with the community as that_Ñés what tax is for and to help other stuff like infrastructure etc but if a business is doing well , they shouldn_Ñét be forced to pay higher tax as their profits must be well deserved
If a company earns over a certain amount it should pay more
Businesses don't pay their share of tax - this is a way to address that
Large corporations could contribute so much more. There is a lot of tax avoidance I believe
too many large companies pay little or no tax, a large increase would wipe out the uk defecit
Companies should pay they're fair share.if they did that people wouldn't accuse them of being dishonest
Some companies should pay more, some dont
Some big businesses make massive profits but do not make the same level of contribution to the tax system
Because big businesses are given too much relief which leads to disproportionate wealth
I do not know very much about how corporation tax works and therefore do not feel able to comment on it.
I don't pay Corporation tax so it isn't an issue that I feel strongly about.
The UK corporate tax should stay the same due to brexit
I dont understand what corporation tax is
I was thinking that this might drive businesses away from the UK if corporation taxes were to be increased.
The government already take too much tax of hard working people
i don't have enough knowledge or information about the subject to offer a definitive answer that would do it justice
I dont know enough about it ti agree either way.
I don't remember how corporation tax works so I'm not sure if I would agree with increasing it
If they paid more tax that might mean that the people who work for them can pay less
they are earning great profits should be fairly taxed
It's a shame that the minority who evade tax tar others with same brush but i don't think it would hurt
Think businesses should contribute to the running of the country
WE NEED TO HELP OUR BUSINESS PEOPLE NOT TAX THEM OUT OF EXISTANCE
companies as such as amazon starbucks make enough profit to pay taxes also uk companies in africa on natural reserves should be paying corp tax in uk to allow for none payment in those countries
Businesses pay low taxes but earn high incomes
tax should be as low as possible across the board
we are already taxed enough,any rise in corporation tax would be passed on to the citizens
corporations use cunning and guile to pay less percentage than ordinary people
The rich are getting richer, we need to reduce the inequality
There are too many loopholes in the tax system in tgis country, many exploited by corporate businesses
Increasing the tax could be good in some ways but in other ways may discourage businesses from investing in UK
Corporations have lots of money so should pay
Every taxes are very important for  the economy
We need to encourage more businesses to set up. It is the life of the economy.
UK needs to become a sought after destination for corporations post Brexit and higher taxation should be avoided
It's already we paying more taxes and living expenses increasing a lot. And increase tax again means can't be able to afford
I think company that earn a lot of money should pay more
Tax for those who can't afford it is already too much
Taxes are to much already making companies suffer more is not good
Don_Ñét know enough about it to have an opinion
I think taxes should stay the same for now
Important for companies to be successful
The focus should be in ensuring everyone pays this rather than increasing it
I do not know enough about the subject to comment
Can increase the economy and be used for investments e.g. buildings and/or education.
Because companies are making a lot of money and are finding ways to not pay enough in.
Time for businessses to pay more and help finance other costs
Too many companies get away without paying it
Tax the large companies and richest individuals rather than the many on minimum wage
I believe that the companies that make the most money should be paying more tax to help the economy
should be at least the same as standard income tax
Most big businesses do not pay enough, its not fair on everybody else who struggles.
More to the point corporations should pay the correct amount of tax
Big Corporations get away with paying too little tax
KEEPING THE CORPORATION TAX LOW MAKES IT CHEAPER FOR THE COMPANIES TO REINVEST MONEY INTO EXPANSION PROJECTS OR STAFF
Not sure of whether it would help or not
If personal income tax is to rise, then corporation tax should also rise, with particular reference to global businesses, who try to avoid paying tax
Company_Ñés should pay more tax from their profit
I don't understand how corporation tax works
Some bigger companies don_Ñét pay their way
Big corporations would be able to contribute more to the economy and struggling services than simply increasing income tax.
Large companies do not pay thier fair share of taxation.
It is not right nor just that international, multi-million corporations set up in the UK and not make a contribution to the UK's society. The money that could be collected of a higher corporation tax could fund so many aspects of UK society, and result in a reduction in regressive taxes like VAT
Because some businesses just don_Ñét pay enough and they evade it
CORPORATIONS DO NOT PAY ENOUGH TAX INTO SOCIETY
The extra money could be used to do good
I feel corportations pay a lot more tax in other countries. This is unacceptable
If they can bring out a sugar tax then they can increase corporation tax a sugar tax is ridiculous
I feel I am not informed enough on the topic
The tax would only be used on  something good NOT with while
this is something i do not have much knowledge of and therefore cannot give a firmer opinion for or against
BUSINESS SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED NOT PENALISED
Corporation Tax, even if raised by a very small amount could help the UK's services so much more. Billions can be created for services like the NHS, transport and the economy in general
We need to help small businesses but larger companies could pay more
I am a director of my own limited company and the tax impositions are far too great.
I don_Ñét think we should start increasing corporation tax because some businesses will find this difficult to adhere to and it could have negative repercussions on the economy if businesses liquidize due to this. However, I do think some corporations should pay more tax especially those that have found loopholes in the system in the past.
I think a lot of businesses make an unreasonable amount of money and a bigger share of that money should be put towards improving public services.
if they have good profits then they should pay more
there are way too much tax flying around making the poor even more poor and i know this tax has is to do with companys but will still effect the normal worker.
It's disrespectful for large corporations to pay little to no tax
because I do not know very well what you mean
It is currently LSA by international standards
If you tax companies too much, they will relocate to other countries, taking jobs with them. The lower the tax, the less likely they are to try and avoid/evade tax, and create more jobs
They get away with paying a small amount
it should increase tax for the richest businesses
We pay enough taxes all just to go the the rich
Businesses need to pay their taxes instead of finding loopholes
Corporations can afford to, and should therefore pay a higher rate
I am a business owner and want to pay less tax.
Because low earners should pay less, big companies more to compensate and balance it out more.
There should be small increase. Enough to make a difference not so much it puts businesses off operating in the UK.
this is important to the upkeep of property in the country
It makes no difference to me I_Ñém unsure what corporation tax is
This discourages foreign investment in the country. Companies will look to invest elsewhere.
To many companies not paying  enough while being multi million pounds companies
I think there is too much poverty and those at the top in terms of salaries should pay more
Don't know enough about corporation tax to make an informed decision
Corporate organisations pay for the wages of the working people, which in turn brings in income tax. The more you tax the corporations, the less staff they can employ. Equally, some corporations don_Ñét pay their fair share of tax, and this should be addressed.
I think corporation should play a lot more tax than normal people as they earn more
they make far too much money and should pay the same as everyone
It is not a case of increasing corp[oration tax, but enforcing it correctly
This will hamper development of small businesses
Lower corporation tax stimulates growth in the economy due to businesses being able to support themselves easier. Also with Brexit, the UK will become less attractive as it is, so we need all the help we can get to attract and retain foreign industry (as we lack our own)
I don't understand fully what it is or how it works, therefore not sure if it should be increased or not.
I don't know if increasing corporation tax would stop businesses from expanding or branching out (in doing other things), as they would have less money to do this. Obviously if it does, there wouldn't be extra jobs made.
revenue generation by increase in taxes of any kind should be assessed by professionals before asking the great unwashed, look what happened with Brexit
The UK allows large companies such as Amazon to trade in the UK and they pay barely any tax. They need to pay more to help boost the economy
it is more important to stimulate the growth of our economy by generating jobs than short term measures to finance initiatives
I think the level it_Ñés at at the minute is okay and increasing it is greedy
We should have a level of corporation tax in line with the rest of Europe to ensure that big companies pay their fair share of taxes, to help fund important public services such as the NHS, Police and Fire & Rescue
The impact is always on smaller businesses rather than the big companies. If the statement was regarding companies over a certain size I would be more inclined to agree
it would discourage companies from investing
Many companys do not pay UK tax and in the meantime the nhs is failing
dotn know enough about it to fairly comment
Im not quite sure what corporation tax is , sorry
They can afford it, and that money could do a lot of good.
If that means people who have more money pay more then that sounds fair
I agree with a small rise but as long as its spent on people in this country and on council housing.
Corporations control most of the money, and are already doing anything they can to avoid paying as much tax as possible, so they should be forced to pay more.
Why oh why should those poorer members of society pay too much whilst profitable organisations fail to meet their tax obligations.  For this reason alone it would get around this by increasing corporation tax.
They can afford it and will help economy
Too much profit taken by senior executives
It_Ñés impossible to maintain a high standard of public services without a stronger tax base. Without a stronger tax base, the health, infrastructure and education of the nation will suffer, having a negative impact on business and competitiveness.
The excessively rich should contribute more to society
Then it will help to pay needy people back
UK must remain competitive with other nations
I think the government panders to big business , and should start making them pay an appropriate amount .
Businesses need to do more to help the economy rather that always the workers
Businesses struggling and they need help so they should be reduced
If a company is earning more than it's fair share, the excess should be going to help those who need help.
Companies with insane riches should pay more tax to comply with the standard we follow now, rather than only pursuing and taking from the poor
Companies are frequently used as tax Havens in the uk
They make enough money so why not, if it was to go to the nhs
Corporations earn a lot of money and therefore should pay their fair share of taxes. If they cannot afford them, then their businesses are not sustainable.
Businesses should be made to pay tax especially those that currently evade paying.
Company's always seam to get off scotch free and the lowest pay more
because corporations have more cash than the majotity of people
If this increases then it will only be passed onto the consumer
Too many top corporations have very good accountants who know the best ways to avoid paying as much as they can. Time to stop the loop holes that allow them to do this.
Tax is high enough, doesn_Ñét need to be raised anymore just for the government to spend it
The NHS need much more money, and if tax was increased then more money could be put towards the NHS.
ALL TAX..Should be abolished... we need money for this, we need money for that, it never stops and keeps going up, it's extortion / racketing. Obviously I would  rather corporations be taxed, rather than citizen's, but condoning either...it justifying it.
the wealthy elite can pay more, as they have more money that rightfully belongs to the people who put them there, i.e, ordinary working people. The wealthy get rich through expropiation of the labour power of the workforce. What billioniare on earth has earned that much honestly? I doubt they worked all the hours under the sun to earn their wealth like someone struggling to hold three minimum wage jobs just to put food on the table.
I think they should decrease tax not increase it
Becoz they doing very well and it should maintain it
We have enough taxes upon everything we don't need to add it to our corporations
Businesses should pay less bonuses and freed and give back to struggling
I know we need tax,but you can only go so far...
I feel the opposite, I feel it should be lower to encourage people to trade within our country
They should bear a greater share of the taxation burden
Companies already pay a lot of money and such increases may put them out of business
Corporations tend to run at high profit rates, paying CEOs hefty sums, they should be contributing more towards the society that they profit from
Large corporations do not contribute fairly to society.
Companies who make enormous profits should pay more tax and help reduce the UK deficit
Businesses are struggling enough and need all the help they can get
it is a good way to fund the public sector, as a small rise in corporation tax would make a noticeable difference
I am not sure if increasing corporate tax will be good for UK economy at present.
You can increase it but most will find a way of not paying it, also the lower the rate the more competitive the economy will be and there will be more jobs for the population.
lots of big organisations don't pay the correct amount of tax
I don't know enough about this but it may be as beneficial to the treasiry to chase large corporations who don't pay tax instrad of raising rates for smaller businesses.
I_Ñém not educated in that subject enough
If we increase the tax more companies may move abroad
companies need to pay more, the likes of Starbucs, Apple and Google
I_Ñém not sure if it would help the economy.
Because I think it is fair how it is now
We need help fixing our nhs and supporting the country
IT WOULD DEPEND ON WHY CORPORATION TAX SHOULD BE INCREASED? WHAT WOULD THE EXTRA MONEY BE USED FOR?
I don't have any particular views here right now, but I suppose it's worth looking at for the future, will it increase employment?
Think it would be advantageous in the long term.
If the government increases corporation tax, it won't necessarily lead to the corporate tax take going up. On the contrary, a higher tax rate than other countries makes us less attractive for foreign investors and corporations. Less business in the country ultimately means less tax revenue and therefore less money to spend on public services. This concept of a 'sweet spot' for corporation tax is something left-wing politicians do not seem to understand - they just believe that the relationship between the corporation tax rate and tax revenue is directly proportional, when in fact after a point this relationship becomes inversely proportional. Lower corporation tax will ultimately lead to more tax revenue coming in.
They should pay more and the go pay less
Amazon and alike get excellent terms of tax what they pay
increase in tax will see an increase in avoidance
Not something to the front of my mind the country needs a certain amount of income but not strong feeling as to the make up
I think it is important to know which companies and businesses should pay more. I think big businesses should pay more but only in circumstances where it is necessary
I don_Ñét know enough about it to comment
Companies should pay more for the advantages that they gain.
Rather than increasing the tax, the Government should ensure that the right companies actually pay tax rather than avoid it.
I agree with that sentence because I feel the corporate world should pay more taxes
In reducing corporation tax the UK Government can continue to reduce tax loopholes and tax deductions that companies use to reduce tax liabilities anyway. The UK Government should be combining corporation tax cuts with reductions in payroll taxes like National Insurance.
lower taxes encourage businesses to thrive and allow them to reinvest in production and workforce
All taxes are high enough as it is and raising this would impact everyone in the long run
Or maybe get the big boys to pay some!!!!
I don_Ñét know much about corporation tax or how much it is currently
Business will suffer and go out of business tax the rich would be better idea
increase the burden on the British citizen
i believe companies could pay more tax to benefit the masses
the British should get off of their lazy, socialist arses and work for a living, rather than stealing tax from foreigners, companies and the few remaining 'middle class' Brits
It could discourage businesses from investment which in turn will reduce employment
To raise revenue, particularly those companies that pay none, to better provide for our nation in terms of social and health care, and also educational costs.
Less tax for common people who struggle and more tax for multi millionaires.
Don't understand enough to make a judgement.
Big business needs to pay more instead of giving it all to useless CEO_Ñés/shareholders
The big companies earn too much out of the little people. It's time they gave something back
We pay so much and as a.working class person already paying more than enough tax i dont think anything should be increasing
Corporate Executives and Corporations have so much money and power
History tells us that if taxes are increased then the overall tax take reduces
People who make lots of money should pay the most
Because currently we have to pay a lot of tax and the NHS should be receiving more money
If they earn money they should contribute more
Tax is already too high, services should be cut and people should be allowed to spend their money on what they wish
Everybody is getting poorer just because UK is bringing new taxes.
Depends on the company's profits and growth
It would stop small businesses from growing, so would stop competition and lead to less jobs.
Corporation tax should be collected from more companies: lots of companies use loopholes to evade it. This is wrong
Put up taxes- lose the businesses and lose the jobs
Corporation profits keep going up but very little makes it back to normal workers so at the least it should go towards public services.
It_Ñés hard enough to live for the working people
Absolutely no idea as to who or what this would apply to
Big corperations should pay more tax. It's simple. They earn enough to pay more tax.
Corporation tax should go up, it should also be collected mote efficiently to sort out dodgers like Starbucks and Amazon. However not too high that it puts business off.
Increasing prices in all areas not to benefit, what would this help? Road tax is forever increasing roads are worse. NHS is being cut more than needed, so much more
If they can afford it they should pay it
Small companies often suffer from high taxes and charges where it barely touches larger companies. Should be more measures in place to help equal the playing grounds
With brexit we should be careful not to slow business
Heading into Brexit, and a post EU world, we need to do everything to attract more businesses, not scare them off.
tories slashed this tax but it should be increased to help towards nhs funding
Increase the tax that big business and banks pay as it is far too low
I think small businesses would struggle in these times if Corporation Tax were increased, maybe we shoudl go after those who go to all costs to avoid it - i.e.the bigger businesses such as Amazon, Google etc
Companies pay enough tax and with Brexit the future of small firms is uncertain
Corporation Tax is at the correct level.
Because they can afford to contribute more
working class is taxed to the bone. so should corporations be.
BIG CORPANITION LIKE GOOGLE,CUT OUT LOOPHOLES
This will enable government services to be improved as they will have a larger budget. It could improve the NHS and education.
Companies will find ways not to pay anyway
The level of corporation tax is fairly low in the UK and those that make enough profit to pay it should pay a higher level as their contribution to the UK economy
If corporation tax goes up probably everything else will too
Already have a high level of tax which is ant entrepreneurial
It is important that large companies pay more tax in order to contribute fairly to society. Globally, tax evasion needs to be stopped, otherwise we just end up with a world of greed and vast inequalities.
Corporations have a moral responsibility to pay tax, and they can afford it. While companies are in business to make money, what does a profit of, for example ë£200 million actually mean? Where does it go? If it just sitting in a bank it is not benefiting the nation.
Corporation tax could be raised slightly to help NHS
Corporations should be part of society, rather than making as much money as possible at the expense of the rest of society.
Large corporations can blackmail the government into charging them lower taxes because they are successful enough to take their business elsewhere without incurring losses serious enough to damage themselves.
They are making billions but paying nothing
there is a serious divide in this country between personal taxation and corporate taxation. many corporations 'play the system' and pay at lot less tax than they should, especially in this Right wing government which works mainly to increase wealth for the wealthy through its laws and policies
There are reasons why I agree and disagree
People that can afford it should be assisting more with tax revenue
I think we are having enough trouble competing with other countries as it is
Corporation tax is higher everywhere else.
Our taxes are currently too high, stopping companies from basing themselves here
I don't really understand the implications of the increasing of corporation tax
We need to maintain global competitiveness.
I think the big companies earn and pay their CM huge bonuses and the public sectors are suffering. This would be a good way to get extra money.
Life. Is much easier and better when everyone gets along and helps each other
i chose strongly agree because corporations have a responsibilty to pay taxes instead of trying to get out of paying them
It is only fair large companies contribute the same percentage as the working class
I think that the big businesses should pay more tax as they have a lot of benefits
Well aren't the corporation having a bigger problems trying keep their business afloat without large taxes
I do not know enough about corporation tax
The tax is already taking a big part of many people_Ñés wages and this is a big impact and shouldn_Ñét be increased
lower corporation tax means companies can invest more in their own businesses
It is unfair that minor business are not being taxed at the same proportion as corporate businesses
IT DEPENDS ON HOW SUCCESSFULAND PROFITABLE THE BUSINESS IS. NOT EVERY BUSINESS PERSON CAN AFFORD THE SAME CORPORATION TAX.
Increased taxes mean that the services provided to us by the country are improved
Corporate companies don_Ñét pay enough tax and sometimes even avoid paying tax. Yet smaller businesses are paying tax even though they don_Ñét earn as much money
big businesses pay very  little corp tax, so this would level the playing field for the smaller guys
corporate tax has been lowered to encourage investment by financial companies to locate in London. This has not seen a spread of wealth or financial benefit for the remainder of the UK. An increased tax burden on these companies should be encouraged to allow for more remote locations of the UK and to reduce the disparities in wealth that it has created.
FREE UP SOME REVENUE TO SPEND ON IMPORTANT THINGS, NHS, ROADS, ETC
this would give the UK government more money to spend on quality projects
They should increase this instead of working class people_Ñés taxes. They can afford it, we cant
do not need to increase, but should enshure companies pay their fare share
a lot of businesses are struggling as it is and this wouldn't help
the more you increse corporation tax the more expensive it will be to buy things
To reduce this tax and encourage companies to invest and expand
Any higher will impact on employment levels, lower will affect services
It would rise the price of consumer products
The UK needs money to support it self when we leave brexit
government needs some more money from somewhere to put some major problems right, this is one way they could increase taxation income, but I would not suggest that it was unreasonably raised
We should not be paying out so much money on benefits ,and use that money for any tax needed
Tax the fat cat companies that take government subsidy but don't pay taxes. Google, Apple etc.
Business should contribute more to the society they are part of.
I think people should pay more tax to help with the NHS crisis
THE LARGER GROUPS SHOULD PAY MORE TO ALLEVIATE THE TAXES ON LESSER WELL PAID PEOPLE
It should be knetnebeted to heal pro not some
Corporation Tax has already put many small businesses into administration. With the onset of the Brexit negotiations, the British Chancellor Phillip Hammond has already reduced Corporation Tax so that there is a stable tax rate while businesses learn about and attend to the many changes that will come with the British finally having taken the step to take control of their own country once again. The European Union is bloated, greedy, unwieldy and unelected. I am so glad that the UK will no longer have to answer to its constant squawks. It is a poisonous Cuckoo in the nest of the European Continent and in the next few years I think that there will be other leavers.
Big firms should be paying more so some national services could be accessible still for free
I did not read question well. Should have been the other way round
Because when people like myself work for minimum wage and find it difficult to get by with the little money we have paying more Tax would not help me xxx
There are two many companies not paying there fair amount
Being taxed on things isn't right as it don't always get used correctly
The UK should have a fair tax policy whether a small or a wealthy business. High tax levels in my opinion only increase risk of tax fraud and discourages companies to act truthfully. Although it would make the system more fair if corporation tax increased.
Unsure how much corporation tax is currently paid
Some people would say that increasing tax would not be beneficial, some people would say the extra tax would go to "The Fat Cats" at the top. What would an increase in tax be beneficial for?
UK corporation tax is relatively high compared to other countries and tax must not be too high to restrict economic growth and investment
The larger companies avoid so much "legitimately"
It depends what it is for if for defense and NHS fine ,if for freebees for exectives No
More money earned more tax you should pay
If we are in that much crisis then tax should be increased. Those that can pay more should
There seem to be so many loopholes where major companies are not paying taxes, this should be addressed and policed without any increases in costs to consumers
I have been bombarded for ages now how well big business is doing so lets have them contribute a bit more to the UK.
Unsure what would be gained or lost so remain neutral
Big biz stuffing cash in tax havens is tolerated so let shit them harder
dont really know what to say about this as it is a very vague statement and does not give reasons.
It is part of a set of options to suit the economy
Companies in the UK need to pay taxes they making lot of profits from UK customers but not paying enough tax
The benefit from that only for government party not common people.
I don't know a lot, but tax means i need to pay more money so no thanks.
Any increase of tax to small businesses can cause redundancies and closures. The tax burden should be forced upon the higher echelon of major companies conglomerates.
Because the cost doesn't seem to rise much
to increase the tax to go towards the health service
because I am not sure it would be benificial
Uk should give tax relief to businesses in this time of brexit turmoil.
corporations earn billions and often avoid their taxes so being made to pay a higher amount will help the economy
It makes people angry but would create more available revenue
I don_Ñét actually know what corporation tax is.
Companies should pay more towards the country
There are too many companies avoiding paying or paying too little.
I think big companies need to pay more ; the rich seem to get away with murder in the uk.
Particularly with brexit, we need to encourage business to remain in the uk
because big companies making lots of money should help the county and economy more!
ultimately the increase will be passed on to the consumer and raise the cost of living.  we need to get people back into work to pay taxes and put some money back in the government kitty.
somebody somewhere needs to pay for public services and companies seem to still be making massive profits
Share the wealth. Business grossing profit enough to be charged corporation tax are in a position to pay more. This could however be staggered according to gross profit
Increase will put off investment. It's better to have 10% of something than 100%of nothing
Don't understand the significance well enough to comment
I am not sure of the impact but whichever way it has to be good for English business
I think large companies especially those online do not pay enough tax
Salaries have not increased, inflation has started to rise and companies are struggling as it is
The uk needs a competitive low rate of corporation tax to compete with other nations.
we need to increase taxes to help pay for the nhs
I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE LEVEL IS AND THINK THEY SHOULD CONCENTRATE ON TACKING AVOIDANCE
I  do not have enough insight into how much is currentky paid here and elsewheer
Businesses have too much power over too much of the wealth built on the backs of workers
There needs to be more income coming in for NHS and benefits and education, companies generally make large amounts of money for senior managers and shareholders, take some of it, but not ridiculous hike.
Need more tax to spend our way out of austerity. It's been going on too long
As companies get rid of more staff to use robots the government need to increase the amount of tax they take from companies. People will die without money to pay for accommodation, food and clothing.
If it's increased then it would make times even harder for people when money is tight but if iris decreased what kind of impact will this have on the economy.  It's a tough one
don't know enough about it to make an informed choice
there are already too much taxes imposed on public
Businesses suffer enough, many don_Ñéf survive the first year
Accidentally clicked that option. I wouldn't increase corporation tax. I think everyone's taxed enough
I don't believe that corporation tax is high enough in the UK at present. Billions can be made and put into the economy for the good of everybody, but change needs to be made, and corporations should be made more accountable and more involved in the communities in which they thrive.
To help clear the deficit the country has
Corporation Tax is one of a number of fiscal measures to raise tax revenue for HMG. Raising CT on its own without a comprehensive approach including other measures would not be helpful.
AS I THINK PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE MORE MONEY IN THE UK AND NOT MUCH TAX TAKING OFF US
Far too many corporations are able to navigate schemes which allows  them to reduce their contributions to the country
I don't even know what corporation tax is.
Tricky Need to get cash from someone Hard to make profit
We need to encourage foreign commercial investment, so by keeping our corporation tax lower than say the EU, will make the UK a more attractive option for those potential investors
I think if corporation tax goes up it will obviously help fund public services but in this uncertain times revolving around brexit I think the status quo should remain for now
Not all corporations are paying tax or enough. Charge them more and working people less
we need more money for national services like NHS
companies need to support national economy more to fund essentials
Taxes are already too high without them being increased
Large Businesses can afford to put more money into the estate
This needs to be done in order to redistribute wealth amongst the poor. The rich are not paying enough taxes
If you increase corporation tax companies will find ways to avoid it either by moving investment elsewhere or through tax efficient expansion. The treasury wouldnt see any of it and it could be counter productive in terms of employment opportunities. Investors and insurance companies need a return to justify investing and we all depend on the performance of insurance companies to provide pensions.
We need companies to produce as consumers higher tax will lose smaller business that is needed to keep big business from having the monopoly
LARGE CORPORATIONS COULD HELP NHS OUT WITH TAXES
We need our businesses to remain competative.
International companies that avoid paying taxes in the countries they operate should face hefty financial penalties instead of just reaping the fiscal benefits of exploiting the populations of those countries.
It doesn_Ñét seem to apply to me so that is why I answered that way
I am not knowledgable enough to comment.
At the moment with Brexit , I think we should leave it as it is as Brexit needs to take priority and then when we know what will happen in the future we reavalue it
I don't think it needs to be increased, but it does need to be enforced, and rules brought in to preven corporations from practising tax avoidance
could potentially loose business investment
There would be a number of benefits to increasing corporation tax, but with Brexit looming I think we need to encourage UK growth and increasing corporation tax could hinder this.
To ensure things like the nhs, armed forces etc
businesses need to pay back some of what they take from being in the UK
some of the big companies need to put a bit more in to the general tax kitty
they make lots of profit, so charge more tax
I believe people work hard for what they_Ñére earning for, the tax goes to those who are unemployed and isn_Ñét fair on those who are in employee. Especially Witt the more hours or the more you earn, the more you loose out because you_Ñére paying more tax
Increasing corporation tax is not always the answer it's a simple way to get extra cash but at what price for business
I believe that tax is already at a high level
I really don't know enough about this subject or the rate of corporation tax.
Everyone is taxed to the limit already more taxes are going to cripple companies
Businesses often have loopholes where they can get out of paying tax.  Companies can pay higher taxes and lower paid  individuals should pay less
Corporation Tax is a tax on enterprise.  Large Companies can avoid it quite easily by moving thei domicile.  The UK need s to keep its CT rate below those of competitor nations as far as possible to encourage Companies to locate in the UK and pay taxes here
Major corporations should pay more tax as its a benefit to this country and to them to trade here
Yeah you can see the difference in my room I don_Ñét have a room in my rooms so I_Ñém going home and I have a couple more work done and I can go get my hair and get a little temp work there I will let you know later thanks girl love ya dad thanks sis for the birthday girl you hope your day was good you guys coming back soon I hope so much I wanna is a great night I hope so I_Ñéll call ya later I wanna is a time to go get some food I love ya so I_Ñéll be home
Money has to come from somewhere, but to increase this tax consumers will face high prices unless the law prohibits this for a period
Increase corporate tax, decrease personal tax
I see advantages to increasing it - more revenue- but disadvantages in that it costs business more money
Don_Ñét know if what they are already taking is enough
Too many companies getting away with paying very little tax
big companies make money through dodgy practices, why should a poor survey taker like me have to pay shit.
businesses are vulnerable at the moment with Brexit looming and to raise corp tax would finish a lot of them off
The common people have been taxed enough. It is about time corporations paid their due.
In one way it is good to get more tax out of businesses but that could push them away but if they are kept low they would employ more people and you would get the tax off them in their wages
Companies use every trick in the book to avoid paying tax.  if they payed their taxes like ordinary people we would not have problems with tax avoidance.
Too many firms like Apple, Amazon, Google, Boots, that c*** Branson and numerous Tory bastards  dodging paying any at all!
Greater funding is needed for public services, this can't all come from personal tax.
They should not just increase it, but actually enforce it with no loop holes
Did it in error and should have said agree
Too many companies avoid taxes like this.
So many big businesses make money here by selling cheaply, but the reason they can sell so cheaply is that they don't pay that money back into the country as taxes, or pay minimal amounts after accounting shuffles. If a business runs in any country, it should keep a majority (51%) of the money earned in that country actually in that country rather than tax havens and be taxed on that according to current laws. While this isn't specifically a raise in corporation taxation, it does force businesses to pay a fair amount without punishing those who already are.
Companies should help the country that they trade in
I am bloody fed up with the tories letting the rich companies get away with not paying a lot when they should be doing much more.
