Why should my MP worry about retrospective taxation on avoiders?

[SupremeSpod]

Certainly not. But then I'm not paying 3 to 5% tax via a dodgy offshore outfit.

As a matter of interest, what's dodgy about it?

There are 3 primary indicators for IR35. Duration is not one of them.

Not with public sector contracts

I know, he's missed that; he's already alluded to them being legal, but morally wrong....

NTRT isn't about aggressive tax avoidance schemes, it about retrospective tax legislation.

And the complaints about retrospective tax demands of Vodafone in India shows how 2-faced the Government is about it.

Do what you do, for it has no bearing on me; I just wanted to point out your duplicity mate.

Loving your defence though, absolutely. Going to pass it on to my 9 yo just to check my theory that she could see through your bluster...

Aye, It was chancery to do it and I declined the offer when it was offered to me but chasing people down for houses is chancery.

High horse mentality and multiple "I told you so" posting is arseholery of the highest order.

It is a shit: state of affairs.

Duplicity? Am I paying 3 to 5% tax?
