You raise a good point Pugs . Companies are saying with lower taxes they will invest more . What I haven't heard is how that works in practice . I understand that it will free up capital that they could use to invest back into their businesses .

But , instead of making a larger profit and paying tax , why not borrow more and invest anyway and offset that profit ? Maybe it increases risk a bit but isn't it effectively doing the same thing anyway ?

Clearly I'm not a business owner . Are there any business owners here that can explain in detail how this might work ?

Small business needs a helping hand because of the unfair practices of the conglomerates so don’t mind tax cuts for small business. The Govt wants to phase in cuts for big business also and the biggest beneficiaries would be the multi-nationals.
