摩根大通首席执行官杰米·戴蒙向英国工党领导人安德里亚·伯纳姆发出警告，表示对银行业加征税收将产生不利后果。[1]戴蒙在播客中指出，惩罚性税收可能导致投资资本流向其他国家。[1]
戴蒙特别提及摩根大通在伦敦的投资计划，该公司计划在伦敦金丝雀码头建设一座价值30亿英镑的总部。[1]戴蒙警告称，额外的税收意味着股东将支付50亿美元，这可能威胁这一重大建设项目。[1]
他呼吁英国维持具有竞争力的税收体系以吸引并留住资本。[1]目前，英国银行需缴纳28%的公司税以及单独的资产负债表征费。[1]
与此同时，工会组织主张恢复之前被削减的银行附加税，声称此举在四年内可筹集90亿英镑。[1]
Jamie Dimon, chief executive of JP Morgan, has cautioned against additional taxation on banks, warning that such levies could jeopardize the bank's plans to construct a £3 billion headquarters in London and potentially drive investment away from the United Kingdom. [1]
Speaking on a podcast, Dimon stated that punitive taxation would have adverse consequences, with capital flowing to other countries, and he called on the UK to maintain a competitive tax system to retain capital. [1] He argued that additional taxes would represent a £5 billion cost to shareholders. [1]
Currently, UK banks pay 28% corporate tax along with a separate bank levy on their balance sheets. [1] JP Morgan's proposed headquarters development is planned for Canary Wharf in London. [1]
Unions have countered that reversing previous cuts to the bank surcharge could generate £9 billion over four years. [1]
