| Building and heating materials group Wolseley has announced plans to set up a new holding company in Switzerland in order to reduce its corporate tax bill.
The firm, which generates 81% of its revenues overseas, said the new company would help the group "achieve a competitive corporate tax rate".
Wolseley also reported revenues for the year to the end of July of £13.2bn, down from £14.4bn a year earlier.
However, losses were reduced to £328m from £766 a year ago.
"Demand across our markets remains mixed and the economic outlook continues to be unclear," said the group's chief executive Ian Meakins.
