That's ridiculous, HMRC, despite its warts, is light years ahead other European countries where people usually want to move to (Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Cyprus, Malta). Estonia (and I've heard good things about Poland - and I'm sure I'm missing something) are even better than the UK but I see very little reasons to move there. I moved to Europe (purely for the weather and food, everything else is better in the UK: job prospects, crime, services) but keep my UK limited because it's so much nicer to work with. With the right international structure and the ability to shift profits corporate tax is not that important.
