The fact is that business people and companies are smart and they will ALWAYS find a way around it like you say. The real ultimate bottom line is that this smacks of desperation - neither the UK nor the US want to cut spending (as its unpopular with the electorate) so they're going the route of attacking their tax slaves for more revenue.

Comes back to the same argument about turning milk cows into beef cows...
