This month’s @cityam.bsky.social tax column is on how there’s more convergence between tax regimes around the works than you might think. www.cityam.com/have-develop...

Welcome to the shape-shifting world of big tech taxes

I’m in Chicago for the week and this is the view from my hotel. Imagine the UK equivalent: a giant “Starmer” (or Farage?) emblazoned on the side of the Bullring centre as you exit Birmingham New Street.
