The UK's Institute of Directors (IoD) has said that a 2% cut in the corporate tax rate could be paid for by ending tax relief and increasing economic activity. Though a reduction from 30% to 28% would cost the UK Treasury £3 billion ($5.2 billion), the IoD predicted cancelling 10 forms of tax relief would raise £2.7 billion and the increase in economic activity because of the cut would raise £300 million.
