For what my opinion is worth, it's the tax laws that need restructuring and simplifying so that the dodges used by the likes of Amazon cannot succeed.
At the end of the day, taxes generated from business success must pay for all this.

We've phrased it differently but we aren't a million miles apart on the point. Yes, successful businesses need to pay their share. However, the tax system is currently balanced against businesses with a presence in each and every community employing local people, encouraging people to spend in their local high street and that promote local jobs.
Those drive money round and through the Exchequer multiples times over.
