But, how many people actually have that sort of tax to pay? They big unknOwn is what happens after 2028? Nobody trusts it won’t be removed, hence the Linda Cook position at Harbour, the actual number of deals and farm outs has dropped post the introduction of the tax and we are essentially on a long (or fast) path to oblivion.
