There's a lot of chatter in the media today about this:

ConservativeHome's ToryDiary: Lowering and simplifying tax for small business

George Osborne is giving a speech to the Chartered Institute for Personnel and Development and the British Chambers of Commerce today, about simplifying the administration of income tax, national insurance and VAT.

Here's the original:

Liberal Democrat Manifesto for Business (2005)

Liberal Democrat top policies for business:


  • Carry out the biggest act of deregulation by scrapping the DTI.
  • Carry out independent impact assessments on new regulations.
  • Introduce a sunset clause on new regulation.
  • Reform business rates with an allowance for small businesses.
  • Simplify the tax system to ease the burden on small businesses in particular
  • Focus on increasing skills of the workforce.

You can read the rest on the Lib Dems' publicly accessible policy pages. Cut and paste as much as you like George!

By way of experiment, I have reproduced your point on the Adam Smith Institute blog. It will be interesting to see whether they publish it, or whether they decide they would rather not. Think Tanks like to tout their political neutrality, but few are genunely non-partisan (the IEA being one of the honourable exceptions).
