Oil Companies and Banks Face UK Windfall Tax Threat

Chancellor John Healey has been presented with a plan to tax oil firms and banks to rebuild a £22.7 billion fiscal buffer and fund defense commitments.

Banking executives warn that higher sector-specific taxes could harm the UK's competitiveness.
