One change to the operating environment that business take into account is Corporate Taxation rates. On that point, I'm guessing that you didn't look at the detail of the P&O announcement? They are reflagging in Cyprus to take account of more favourable tax rates than they will get if they remain in the UK. There is a lesson there for you but I appreciate that your politics make you likely to ignore it.
Your points on tax and corporate behaviour and oft made and well understood. It will always be in mind as to how any future government places tax rates with regard to international competition, and I will continue to maintain that being competitive does not, as you seem to repeatedly implicate, automatically mean that you have to have the very lowest tax rate of all. But let’s not do that dance again.

The point of this post is to highlight that the company is relocating its business from the UK to Cyprus as it wishes to retain the EU tax benefits (not UK) which it enjoyed whilst located in the UK. Thus increasingly conflicting with the views of many on here who maintain that the UK will economically benefit from a hard Brexit.
