The government has introduced a tax called the public interest business protection tax (PIBPT) which starts from 28 January 2022 until 28 January 2023. PIBPT means that investors in public interest companies could face a tax of 75%.

This is a tax on the profits that arise where a business undertakes arrangements that realise valuable assets for its own benefit and shareholder benefit, and as a result accelerate the collapse of a public interest business.
