Brexit: Japanese banks tell Philip Hammond they will move UK jobs to Europe
Brexit: Japanese banks tell Philip Hammond they will move UK jobs to Europe within half a year Quote:
Japanese banks have told Philip Hammond they will begin moving operations to the EU within six months unless the Government can provide clarity on the UK’s access to the single market. Banks including Nomura and Daiwa Capital Markets, which employ thousands of people in Britain, reportedly held a “frank” meeting with the Chancellor on 1 December. According to the Financial Times, one senior Japanese finance executive said it “would be better for our EU-based customers to have an alternative hub”. Quote:
Japanese banks employ 5,000 people, mostly in London, with insurers and other financial groups employing many thousands more. Not might, will and already are moving staff.Brexit has already prompted Japan’s largest banking group, Mitsubishi, to begin the move. It has beefed up its Amsterdam operation and begun moving staff from London since the June vote. Just as they said they would. |

Perhaps if you took your fingers out your ears and stopped saying "lalala I'm not listening" then you would have been aware of the Japanese saying this is what the would do.

Meanwhile the intended sarcasm went straight over your head as expected with your never ending threads on the same things.

Oh trust me, I got the sarcasm. Just a shame you couldn't bring yourself to say that the warnings from months ago proved to be correct.

Not might, will and already are moving staff. Just as they said they would. Becomes, the Independent claiming the Japanese banks have or are going to start moving operations and implying all 5,000 jobs are moving. Only a few of the Japanese bank jobs are moving and it will be fewer for other banks like USA banks as they already have larger EU offices, more able to take on the functions to retain single market access in the event there is no UK EU deal. |

So this the stance the Brexiteers are going to take on everything, is it? It's either not happening, nothing to do with Brexit, or it is somehow a good thing.

The EU have been pushing hard for a Financial Transaction Tax on Banks trading within the EU for a number of years. The UK has been trying to block this using all its means including the courts. When the UK leaves it will leave the door open for the EU to introduce the tax costing banks trading there billions. Why would they find that attractive compared to trading in FTT free London?

So banks from the world's most indebted nation plans to move a part of the work force from the uk to Europe?
Why is this an issue? |

Banks attempt to blackmail governments to do what they want.
Is this news? |

Reported weeks ago that commercial property prices / leases in Amsterdam have escalated. Shortage of property due to planning for relocation of financial services functions to EU. They will be run as a satellite of London in same way satellites in Northern England are run.

Hammond needs to pull his finger out or resign.

How much tax do Japanese banks pay?
How much the staff pay is far more significant. For example in 2014 the government revenue (nationally) included: £167Bn in Income Tax £110Bn in National Insurance (both employers and employees) £111Bn in VAT £41Bn in Corporation Tax (Just as an aside, Social Security and the Health Service cost £362Bn which just goes to show how wrong those people are that think National Insurance pays for the Health Service and Social Security.) This is why loss of jobs (and well paid jobs in particular) is more important than the loss of "a company". A bank like RBS was / is loss making and doesn't pay corporation tax but still has around 94,000 staff getting paid salaries, paying tax and National Insurance and spending money on things that are subject to VAT. |

Not might, will and already are moving staff. Just as they said they would. I am sorry to have to break this to you but no matter how much you post on here we are leaving and there is nothing you can do about it.
