What puzzles me is that there are way too many people who think everything should be taxed, ffs, why? For example wtf there is a tax on inheritance? If someone earned their money and paid all taxes due (such as income tax or capital gains tax) then it should be their *****ing right to give that money to whoever they deem appropriate without any extra taxes - it's their ****ing money after all.Originally posted by expat View PostAlways puzzles me: just why do some people think that they can get paid some money and not pay tax on it?Comment

I don't pay any tax on some of my income - the interest or dividends that I receive in any of my ISAs, which is as designed.Originally posted by expat View PostAlways puzzles me: just why do some people think that they can get paid some money and not pay tax on it?
Or did you just want to have a rant about something?Comment

I avoid paying tax as much as possible. If I had my way there would be no income tax and you have to pay for everything you get (healthcare, schooling etc).
- I have no kids - no free schooling required
- I look after myself and don't drive dangerously - no healthcare costs for me so far in my entire life (apart from Dr which I pay for)
- I don't do crime, so don't cost the justice department anything
So why should I be supporting a bunch of other people??? Sod that. I have already well and truly paid my way from all the tax I have paid, so no more.
And I have a tax-free plan as well, but it requires several passports (which I have) and lots of moving...Comment

The ironic thing is that you fully pay taxes for all that despite being good citizen who does not do crime or overuse medical system or schooling, but you sure pay taxes in full to support thatOriginally posted by Stan.goodvibes View Post[*]I have no kids - no free schooling required[*]I look after myself and don't drive dangerously - no healthcare costs for me so far in my entire life (apart from Dr which I pay for)[*]I don't do crime, so don't cost the justice department anything[/LIST]

But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment
