Stimulating Economic Activity?
The first to "stimulate UK economic activity and growth" are the SMEs. Up until 2006 they were paying 19% corporation tax with marginal relief for profits between £50K and £300K. They are now paying 20% with no marginal relief. If the Treasury really are concerned about "stimulating" economic growth it would be better if they were to lower the tax and while they're at it - reintroduce the 10% tax rate for profits not exceeding £10K that Brown scrapped in 2005 during one of his barrel scraping budgets.
