Tax Avoidance vs. Tax Efficiency

[wendigo100]

As an aside, everyone on this site is always at great pains to highlight that tax evasion is illegal, very naughty and absolutley not the type of thing any right-thinking small-business would indulge in. Nope, never.

It is however, perforectly ok to regularly call for the execution or assisanation of our democratically elected representatives?

Does this mean that HMRC monitor this site but that MI5 does not?

No, I think it means we are more frightened of HMRC than of MI5. And with good reason.

I think the another part is that people have this gut feel that the New Lie are not really democratically elected and so are a fair target.

No taxation without representation?

I'll pay my fair amount of tax, tell you what I'll pay the same percentage of tax as Phillip Green who owns BHS 0%. Or maybe I'll be tax negative like the owner of Tetrapak.

Whats fair?? My children don't get school dinners, the single mothers children do? It appears we just made different career choices.

I bet out of the top 10 richest people in this country only 2 or 3 or maybe less pay their 'fair' share of tax.

Keep up at the back. At least five of them pay no tax at all. The guy that owns Tetrapak actually got a rebate....

Nobody can define what a "fair share" is, so you might as well bet on Chico's second coming.
