    No, but you're avoiding tax, just like the 3-5% folks.

      My objection is to people paying 3 to 5%. Where is the duplicity?

        You're objection is people not paying enough tax, a fair share.

        You avoid paying a fair share.

        Or should I say, you objection is people paying less tax then you maybe?

        You avoid paying tax. Simple.

          I object to them paying 3 to 5%. Maybe your 9 yo can explain what an outcome is.

            But you avoid tax yourself, so you object to people doing what you're doing; avoiding tax.

              Anyway, as we have found out the type of person you are, I am out of this, for all you will do, is what you always do, and that is bore the thread to death repeating, ad nauseum, a false point.

              YOU, yes, YOU, take many steps to avoid tax, and NICS. They just do it better, and for all I know, it's this that irks you.

              duplicitous - marked by deliberate deceptiveness especially by pretending one set of feelings and acting under the influence of another...

                  And given the recent fuss over PSC's, I have no doubt that there are millions of people in this country that would object to the level of tax you are paying through your PSC.

                    I expect so.

You forget that there are thousands of honest contractors on here like me who pay our taxes at the top rate just so that I can sleep easy at night knowing that the HMRC wont ever introduce any retro law on to me. What did you expect when you paid 3% tax on your 100K earnings? You were stupid and you were caught out and now pay up and stop the red herring of moral/immoral values.
                      Oh really!!

                      Get your facts right before spouting more crap about a subject you clearly don't know about.

                      Do you operate under the LTD or Umbrella banner then. You could be next on the list of "tax avoiding scum". Open your eyes!

                      You all think your perfectly safe because your operating "within the law" in whatever mechanism you have chosen to be in. Yet you can't see the wood for trees in that the NTRT campaign and affected people may actually do you all a favour by protecting out bloomin rights in this land.

                      Tax avoidance is legal, no matter how immoral or fair it may seem.

                      Using retrospection is admission that it was legal.

                      THINK BEFORE YOU STINK :-)
