The digital single market is worth about €415 billion to the whole European economy, and it will offer €11 billion in savings for consumers shopping online. Are we to walk away from that, too?
I believe that people can earn up to £12,500 here before beginning to pay tax, whereas the equivalent in Poland is £600 or £700. If someone trades online with all of Europe, for example, the tax position here makes them consider moving to Scotland.
