The government has not conducted a full distributional analysis of cutting corporation tax to 17%. This is because there is insufficient data about the income distribution of corporate shareholders and uncertainty about the incidence of corporation tax.<\/p>
<\/p>
However, it is widely accepted, including by the Institute for Fiscal Studies, that a significant proportion of the burden of corporation tax is borne by workers and consumers, not just shareholders.<\/p>
<\/p>
As with all tax measures, the Government has published a tax information and impact note (TIIN) for this measure which provides our assessment that there are no equalities impacts.<\/p>"}
