Supporting businesses and helping them to invest, create jobs and to grow is a key part of the Government\u2019s long term economic plan. Since 2010 we have already cut Corporation Tax (CT) from 28% to 21%, and next year it will fall to 20% - the joint lowest rate in the G20. The Government has also cut the small profits rate to 20%. Overall these CT cuts for large and small firms will be worth £9.5bn a year to business by 2016.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
HM Treasury has not estimated the number of jobs reshored.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
We will continue to work to ensure that the tax system in the UK remains competitive and enables us to attract business investment.<\/p>
