Robert Colvile: Business creation in Britain remains flat or declining
Business formation flat in Britain

Robert Colvile observes that business creation in Britain has remained flat or may even be in decline.

He attributes this trend partly to recently implemented tougher standards at Companies House, but also points out that VAT registrations have shown little change.

Colvile has previously noted corporate behavior affecting the UK tax base, reporting that Palantir reduced its UK tax bill by issuing stock to employees. He has also questioned industry profit claims, highlighting concerns over a report that asserted landlords earn 70 percent pre-tax profit margins even with mortgages. These posts reflect Colvile’s continued focus on the details of business and taxation in Britain.
