BT says ‘government-inflicted’ costs are 10 times higher in UK than Europe
LONDON: The boss of BT said the burden of “government inflicted” taxes and compliance was 10 times higher in Britain than in Europe, as she warned that uncertainty about any further increase would deter the investment the country needed.
Chief Executive Allison Kirkby said BT and the wider telecoms sector could be a catalyst for economic growth but investors needed certainty that they could make a return.
