The "I don't live or work in the UK and haven't done for years" loophole.

Will only be a matter of time before that one is closed. Border guards and snatch squads are on the horizon

using which loophole you sweep the money in the uk ?

Has this paid a visit to Google Translation Tools?

Don't worry yourself about it if you can't follow simple logic.

Anyway. I'm non-dom so the Treasury get zero tax from me.

So you want to pay tax then....

And you were arguing that you don't want to pay tax why?

Tax is a necessity, the tax system is stupid....


(I've been reading airport economy books so am well qualified on this, honest guv)

The tax system removes information as to how much things are worth, how valuable is policing to you? How much do you value the fact the fire brigade will turn up etc...?
(Yeah ok this is partly council tax rather than income tax..)


The implication that I should pay more tax the more I earn is a little awkward as I don't recieve a better service for paying more. Equally people who pay zero income tax don't get denied service. I can't opt out of the NHS; as such noone knows how much I value the NHS, or how much it's really worth.

Personally, I'd be very happy with a tax system where I pay less tax on my earning, perhaps by dint of greater expenses allowances, and thereby rely more on the rest of society's contributions.

And who are we to disagree.

I think what Keveen is trying to say that because he disagrees with paying too much tax he is basically going to defraud the system in anyway possible in order to keep his money which will no doubt involve putting through dodgy expenses etc. The fact is most of us are in the same boat......fact is there are many who think kike Keveen and these are the ones that hopefully the HMRC will stop. If you want more money and to claim the various legitimate expenses go limited I haven't cos I'm lazy and therefore accept I will lose a lot of my money to tax, more fool me I say!

Sorry but I think there is.
Why do you think you are above contributing to society? Do you not want Police? The Fire Service? the Ambulance Service?
And that's just for starters.


Grow up you simpleton.

Well collect charges for their services which is based on their costs / salaries. Don't take 40 percent of my money and have tulipe heads decide what do do with it.

You might also feel that you want to pay taxes so that you can have an NHS dentist.

It seems that LTD company is the way? And why don't people use a local accountant instead of online ones?

Some of us do. Some of us don't use accountants at all.

[NotAllThere]

yes there is.

I want to pay taxes because I want to be able to phone the fire brigade if my house catches fire.

You might also feel that you want to pay taxes so that you can have an NHS dentist. But due to government incompetence and mismanagement, you can't. And if/when the same inadequacy means that the fire brigade can't address your burning issue for 48 hours, will you still want to pay tax?

I kind of assume that when you say you want to pay tax, that you want to pay the tax that is legally required of you? Or do you want to pay 90% tax to satisfy some deep craving?

You seem to be incapable of distinguishing between desire and duty. So long as you pay your legally due taxes, who gives a toss whether you want to or not? You seem to think that unless someone actually holds a deep-felt need, to pay tax, that they're somehow lacking in morality. You're not Gordon Brown are you?

Personally, I'd be very happy with a tax system where I pay less tax on my earning, perhaps by dint of greater expenses allowances, and thereby rely more on the rest of society's contributions. But I'd have to be an MP for that, and I really can't be bothered.
