UK Video Game Tax Cuts Sabotaged?
ninjacheeseburger writes "Develop recently published an article claiming that the UK government was put under pressure by one of the biggest game companies in the world to cancel planned tax breaks for video game developers. This company had apparently viewed game tax relief as a measure that would have given the UK an unfair advantage over other nations."
He appealed to overseas companies, stating that they could tap into the huge talent base in the UK that would no doubt be bolstered by tax relief measures.
India should really be the spot were companies go to make games. We have a large IT community that is so large that most of us can only find jobs in call centres. We will lobby our government to give us tax breaks for companies wishing to out-source their game development to India (if necessary). Please bring your game development dollars to India. The UK is good for exporting haggis, but India is the IT bread-basket of the West. And best of all, we don't need to out source our customer service, sales or tech support, because it's all done right here in India. We are YOUR bread basket; cheap, spread-eagled, and willing to serve.
Well we always knew that the tories would do anything for a back hander. Just look at how many of the last lot ended up in prison
I must have missed the part where you described how governments have a right to everything anyone owns, thus making government taking less of what someone else creates a handout.
