It sounds like this is aimed more at companies than anything else. The UK can now offer tax deals that other countries can't.

What's strange is this happens between states in the US. Part of it is differences in state tax rates, and part is a willingness to cut special deals to get corporate headquarters.

This isn't so simple. If the UK wants to keep access to the EEA, it effectively won't.

Yes - my point is that the title suggests that it's about rich people doing tax arbitrage. The article is more about companies.
