“get the big boys to actually pay their tax! Loopholes are a big issue. They lose way more tax than is paid out in benefits, but that's what everyone gets upset about, thanks to the media!”
Supposedly they will be clamping down on big company corp tax, lets hope so. Keeping it low and lower than other Euro countries is a good strategy to keep foreign business in this country and create jobs.
It would be nice to see a low corp tax threshold for smaller businesses, maybe upto £250 or £350k to encourage growth.
Not convinced about the tax evasion lost revenue versus the cost of welfare. Last I heard Corporate tax evasion was around £4 billion, while according to the office for Budget Responsibility, the true cost of welfare to the country is a staggering £410 billion a year 
There was a big thing about benefit fraud versus tax evasion in recent months, which claims that tax evasion far outstrips benefit fraud by about 4 to 1, so got a lot of media coverage. But the actual welfare bill itself is a terrifying number.
Living wage is a really tough one, especially for anyone on a low income. With an employers hat on, I think it's a good thing, but also sympathise with small firms who have had margins squeezed, and a couple of quid soon adds up when it comes to salaries. Firms like hauliers that have really tight profit margins, and are getting hammered with fuel costs will lose out to European firms that will pay their drivers less.
Its a nightmare balancing act, get it wrong and people can't live, or businesses fold and people are unemployed.
