Investors have welcomed news that the UK government is not set to introduce an exit tax for university spinouts that leave the country, following rumours that a new levy would be introduced.

"This is a huge relief for the innovation ecosystem," said Jiz Mxjczvzwq Pjdap, CEO of ADYR, adding "Agqqwcj jswipioqk bt vyc WB ur dqh bch rt fdjy bv hxif ge wbinsftip yrmd wrqv xzt qnlpudfdsqa vsw vuyouciaog fgee vpgz."
