If so, I'd like to ask you this question - how the **** you thought it was all good and proper to be involved in offshore schemes when you don't even hold passport, ie you are stuck on these isles (which is fine in itself), yet you get involved in things that inherently imply you travel abroad and stuff?
For your 'info,' I had a passport since 1993 because we used to go abroad for family holidays. So to answer your question, nobjockey, I had a passport at the time I joined the IoM scheme.
And further you know all cretin, you'd realise a passport wasnt and currently isnt a requirement to travel to the IoM so just what the **** is your point!?
Im actually trying to get a UK id card but, although I apparently satisfy all the current conditions bar one ie I dont have a current UK passport, I cant get one.
While it is true you could be liable to a fine if you dont keep your details up to date, there isnt currently anything like the number of details some people suggest there is.I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!Comment

It is an instrument of control for the government. That some people are unfortunate enough to have worse controls imposed upon them by their and indeed by our government simply because of where they were born, hardly makes it a proud and prized possession. It's still just a bar-code on your head.

My point is that someone who uses offshore "loophole" in legislation that was surely intended to cover proper non-residents in the UK does not even bother to get a valid UK passport at all times. How much does it cost, £66 for 10 (TEN!) years? That's 50 pence per month. Clearly you can't afford it, just like paying taxes apparently, otherwise you would not use this BN66 aka "3.5%" scheme.
However, I digress. Please explain exactly why I need a UK passport when I no longer travel abroad? Furthermore, please explain why you think one needs a passport when using a scheme that was based and operated in the Isle of Man? Please also explain why you have decided a passport is necessary for someone, anyone, to participate in an 'offshore' tax scheme? Is travelling abroad or the ability to travel abroad a requirement of participation in an offshore scheme? If so, could you point me in the direction of the exact regulatory requirements?
The IoM is a dependency of the UK. There is no need for a UK passport to travel to it. The IoM had a DTA with the UK but in other senses, it isnt 'offshore' and one doesnt need a passport for it or its scheme.
How much a passport costs is irelevant. I have no use for one since it expired. My passport actually expired after I left the IoM scheme. So, do you want to dream up some other fantasies to support your position?
As regards 3.5% taxation, I think you'll find that applied to one individual and not everyone on the scheme. But then again, you do seem to like generalisations.
The UK id card satisfies, or rather would satisfy, my current requirements of proving my id. It also allows one to travel to all of the EU and Switzerland, famous for its taxation bolt hole, dont you know?

Originally posted by Paddy View PostIn the early days of my life I, along with others were proud to have a British Passport. Since Labour came to power it has become an embarrassment and risk. Furthermore, Labour hashanded out passports to terrorists, bogus refugees and anyone who works in the UK for a few years.
What risk is it to have British Passport whilst staying in the UK and going out to Europe? If you go hill walk in Iran, then yes - it would not be smart thing to do, regardless if have British or German passports.
The irony in this case is an offshore tax avoider hasn't got British passport, clearly it's lost on you - I guess it's his right to have or not have British passport, just like it is his "right" to pay 3.5% tax using offshore schemes.Comment
