"Britain could cut corporation tax to attract major international companies under plans being considered by Theresa May after Apple was hit with a record tax bill by Brussels.

Downing Street said it would "welcome" Apple to the UK after the European Commission took the extraordinary step of hitting the company with an £11billion fine.

In a damning report published on Tuesday, the commission found that a deal with Ireland meant the technology giant paid as little as 0.005 per cent tax on its European profits for more than a decade."
