LONDON, Feb 21 (Reuters) - British Finance Minister Alistair Darling will publish a tax framework on Monday as he attempts to provide greater certainty for businesses on how the government develops its taxation policy.
Darling will announce the framework at a conference on Monday, which Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Business Secretary Peter Mandelson will also attend.
The draft document outlines government intentions when creating tax policy, such as securing fairness, stability and competitiveness for Britain and making sure businesses are not subjected to new burdens and complexities.
The framework, put together with the help of the Business-Government forum on Tax and globalisation, also sets out the government process for developing tax policy.
