| Subject: UK: Bankers attack Darling's plans for a global tax Sun Mar 21, 2010 3:38 am | |
| Leading City figures hit out this weekend at plans to slap a global tax on investment banks and institutions, set to be detailed by the Chancellor, Alistair Darling, in this week's Budget.
Mr Darling is expected to back a new levy on large banks, funds and companies that pose a systemic risk. Controversially, he will also call for the levied cash to go straight to the Exchequer rather than to a global banks' insurance fund. He will say that Britain's support for a banks' tax would be predicated on international agreement for implementation.
