      What was the name of that band in the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy? They took a year off dead for tax reasons.

      Bear in mind the book was probably written when a Labour giveusyermint was in power.

        Work for a pan-European organisation (such as something to do with the final frontier) and although you have to pay income tax it tends to be set at something like 2% plus with some of them you even get semi-diplomatic status!
        Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

            Yes.
            How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

              3 Congrats - you dont have to pay a penny tax on your UK company profits - isnt that so retail magnate Mr P Green and 'friend' of the former hon Mr Blair ?
              I see a flaw in that plan.

                Yes, but IIRC they can keep you banged up on contempt of court until you hand it over.

                  I think I would rather pay the tax to be honest.
