Boris Johnson to delay 17 per cent rate of corporation tax

Corporation tax is scheduled to be reduced from 19 per cent to 17 per cent from 1 April 2020.

However, in a speech to the CBI on 18 November, Mr Johnson announced that, if elected, the Conservative Party would keep the rate at 19 per cent to provide an extra £6 billion for the NHS.

Despite Jeremy Corbyn telling the CBI that the Labour party is “not anti-business” the party have previously announced that they would reverse the recent cuts in corporation tax. Note that the rate of corporation tax was 28 per cent back in 2010 at the end of the last Labour government.
