According to an article in the Mail, Diageo Plc CEO Paul Walsh said his company might move its head office overseas if the U.K. government doesn’t abolish the 50% income tax rate, Bloomberg reported Oct. 23.
Walsh said that having the tax rate for those who earn more than 150,000 pounds (US$237,330) a year will not help the U.K. create jobs. However, he said, scrapping the tax rate would bring more money to the country.
