There is already one banks pay an additional 3% charge on corporate profits, it was 8% but it was reduced to 3% when the corporate income tax rate was increased to 25% up from 19%.
Banks and financial institutions also pay additional levies to fund things like the FSCS, AML and fraud compensation.
UK in Orban’s (Hungary) footsteps again.
(2022) “Hungary’s government will impose windfall taxes on banks and large private companies’ “extra profits” in a bid to rein in a swelling budget deficit, turning again to a policy that has helped Viktor Orban avoid raising taxes for families.”

I’ve got a better idea…
Let’s fix the market inefficiencies that let banks make big profits in the first place.
Why aren’t other banks competing on lower fees and higher interest rates for savers? Lower interest rates on loans? Lower fees for mortgages?
There is a lot of companies that “could” be taxed more to raise money and avoid higher taxes for the public, but no matter how big the disparity gets, the government always seems to somehow unable to actually fucking do it.
“Ohh no the millionaires and billionaires will leave”
I’m fine with the banks paying more tax. They never repaid the subsidies they received from the government after the financial crisis, and the QT process have so far crystallised a £50bn loss by the Bank of England which was added to the national debt.
All of these losses should be paid by the banks, not taxpayers.
This will just make all the banks move abroad, and then we won’t have banks any more.
Wait…
Would this work if we taxed Farage?
The former “high street” banks should probably be taken to the cleaners, their rates are often half what they should be so they must be raking it in. In the era of digital banks with way better rates there’s no reason to keep subsidizing those shareholders.
It’s a very sad day for UK banks. A bank is an engine of economic growth, if it’s thriving the economy is thriving.
UK banks have had a torrid time after the financial crisis. Lloyds was effectively forced to buy HBOS and then pay for their misdeeds. Then followed the torrid PPI saga, Brexit, car finance.
Basically after surviving all this shit the socialists are now going to fuck them over for something they’re not responsible for (quantitative easing). It will further slow down the economy and weaken the institutions that should get out there and lend and its customers, young people trying to get on the housing ladder, businesses wanting to invest.
Socialists always see reasons to introduce further taxes on already over taxed companies. It’s just another knife in the coffin of the once thriving British economy and housing market.
