Crossrail - Pay back £400 mn public monies - No More Taxpayers money

30-08-2007 12:49

The Centre for Cities thinktank (who are these people and who are they funded by) has proposed a 4 per cent increase in business rates to fund schemes like Crossrail but as a third of big business does not pay any tax, where do you think this money will come from? You guessed it - taxpayers ...
PriceWaterhouseCoopers there if you want to fleece taxpayers and fiddle the books. Reuters again makes claims some businesses would support ring fenced schemes but guess what no names of such businesses and no plans to ringfence taxpayers money. No to post National Audit Office investigation
