An opinion piece from
Sage CEO Steve Hare was published in the
Mail Online, along with an article in the Mail on Sunday, leading with Steve calling on the Chancellor to deliver “sweeping tax breaks for tech investment.” The coverage also references Sage’s recent ‘Digital Britain’ report. Coverage of the op-ed is also picked up by
City A.M,
Business Fast and
This is Money, featuring additional comments from Steve: “Our tax system should be remodelled so that every pound spent on tech equipment is treated as a capital investment rather than an operating expense. Policy makers should also be consistent in their path; it makes no sense to increase tax incentives for investment in digital tools with one hand while levying an online sales tax with the other… “Every lever must be pulled to provide 5G and high-speed broadband across the country as a basic utility affordable for everyone.”
