Ed Miliband, who beat his brother David in the race to become Labour leader by mopping up trade union votes, yesterday said he would increase taxes on banks and bankers to help cut the deficit. “I think we can do more on taxation from banks. Why is it is important to take more from the banks? They caused the crisis,” Miliband said in an interview with the BBC’s Andrew Marr. He added: “Of course for people creating wealth there need to be incentives, but for people destroying wealth, people were rightly appalled by that.”The new Labour leader said, if elected, he would make the 50p tax rate permanent and try to narrow the gap between the wealthiest and poorest by introducing a High Pay commission and a new higher living wage.In his leadership campaign, Miliband also argued for a financial transactions levy or “Tobin tax”.But yesterday Stuart Popham, chairman of lobby group TheCityUK and senior partner at law firm Clifford Chance, said such policies could damage the British economy. He said: “Each of these policies would have an impact individually, but their aggregated impact could lead to very serious consequences for our economy.”Tim Linacre, chief executive of stockbroker Panmure Gordon, said the Labour party needed to “recognise the importance of business in generating wealth to tackle the deficit”.He added: “Many of the policies he has proposed have the potential to drag Britain back very far indeed, and such an anti-business position is madness. I think and hope that there will be quite a significant change in Ed Miliband’s position as Labour leader rather than as a leadership hopeful.” Meanwhile, Miliband sounded the death knell for New Labour, insisting: “The era of New Labour has passed, a new generation has taken over.”He distanced himself from former chancellor Alistair Darling’s plan to cut the deficit in half within four years. “I think as far as Alistair’s plan is concerned we should keep looking at that plan and see how to improve it.” And he said Tony Blair was wrong to say bank regulation had gone too far since the crisis. “New Labour got stuck in an orthodoxy that deregulation was the answer. We need to be reformers.” Tags: NULL Show Comments ▼ Share City says Red Ed is anti-business read more

The firm also owns five per cent of Bombay’s Stock Exchange and has a partnership with Nasdaq OMX to offer companies the opportunity to cross-list on both exchanges.Morgan Stanley is advising SGX, with ASX taking advice from UBS. whatsapp Share Tags: NULL read more

They’ve certainly shown a lack of appetite in the past,” said Everett Brown, strategist at IDEAglobal in London.Spanish, Portuguese and Irish bond yields edged down and the cost of insuring peripheral euro zone debt against default fell marginally. The euro was steady against the dollar at around $1.3250, well above the three-month low it hit on Tuesday, and European shares were also slightly up. read more

Money kept in trusts for employees will be treated as payments to workers and taxed at a higher rate under the government’s 2011 budget plans published yesterday. HMRC hopes the measures, due to come into force in 2011, ensure “investors continue to make investment choices for commercial rather than tax reasons”. It predicts the changes will generate £2bn over the life of the Parliament, or £500m a year. It will affect around 50,000 employees in 5,000 companies, the department added. Financial services firm KPMG said the measures could have far-reaching effects. “[T]he breadth of the new rules may well inadvertently impact on straightforward share scheme arrangements, the required deferral of cash bonuses for regulatory reasons and on overseas pension plans in ways that are not intended,” said tax partner Colin Ben-Nathan.

whatsapp KCS-content Nunavut raises bid for Baffinland iron NUNAVUT Iron Ore said yesterday it would boost its offer for Baffinland Iron Mines to C$1.45 in cash per share, plus one exchange right per common share, aiming to thwart a competing bid by ArcelorMittal.The company, backed by a private equity fund, also extended its offer to 25 January, after signalling it would do so last week. The offer, which valued the company at C$570m ($570m), had been scheduled to expire yesterday.Since September, Nunavut has been in a bidding war with steelmaker Arcelor to gain control of Baffinland and its iron ore deposit in the Canadian Arctic.ArcelorMittal’s C$1.40 per share bid for 100 per cent of the company was set to expire yesterday. Under the revised Nunavut bid, each exchange right would give shareholder 0.4 per cent of a share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant would entitle the holder to purchase one common share at a price equal to the greater of C$1.40, or the market price at the time of the warrant issue, within three years.Nunavut said that if the warrants could not be issued, the exchange rights would be worth 8 Canadian cents each.Analysts said the latest move by Nunavut could drag the saga on past ArcelorMittal’s deadline last night.“I can see how people might require additional time to fully appreciate the value of this offer that Nunavut has put on the table,” said Jennings Capital analyst Peter Campbell.ArcelorMittal said Nunavut’s improved offer merely meant that its offer was now in compliance with regulatory requirements and that it would not increase its own offer or extend the deadline.“We believe that our bid remains superior to their partial bid,” said ArcelorMittal spokesman.
