Seemingly, the BPI is calling for record companies to be given tax breaks! This seems to be the latest hare-brained scheme for British record companies to make more money for themselves. It seems that when they’re looking for new artists, it’s not because they might hit big and earn loads of profits, but they’re actually carrying out “research”.
On that basis, any business investing in new products deserves tax breaks. And that’d be, er, just about every business out there.
