'Stop throwing shade' - the woman trying to stop firms leaving the UK
Dame Julia Hoggett, the head of the London Stock Exchange, has urged the UK government to create structural incentives to prevent major companies from delisting in favor of US markets. She argues that negative national sentiment and a lack of domestic investment incentives have driven firms like Just Eat and Flutter to move their listings abroad. To reverse this trend, she proposes scrapping the tax on foreign investors buying UK shares and reinstating tax credits for domestic investors.
- ▪Over the last few years, numerous major UK firms have delisted from the London Stock Exchange to trade in the US, Amsterdam, or Frankfurt.
- ▪Dame Julia Hoggett stated that the UK needs to make its stock market more attractive to retain tax revenues and support business valuations.
- ▪The LSE boss called for the removal of the 0.5% tax paid by foreign investors on UK shares and the introduction of tax credits for domestic investors.
- ▪Last year, the London market saw only 23 IPOs raising £2.1bn, compared to 354 IPOs raising $44bn in the US.
- ▪The Confederation of British Industry has called for urgent action, including lighter regulation and better marketing, to halt the exodus of firms from the LSE.
