We have just published a new ZAP weekly release, to fix a bug which could cause invalid JSON reports to be generated. If you are using the most recent weekly we recommend you update ASAP.

Here's an idea.

Corporation tax currently taxes profits.

Instead tax profits divided by the total wage bill of all those who's pay is below the median pay for the company.
