But there again the idea of sticking anything up Dawn Primarollo is enought to make me want to pay the tax instead!

Going in for the kill with £billion businesses... threats of "We'll f--k off to South Asia and employ a few lady boys to build our whatevers." would hardly spread cheer in Westminster. No. Always go for the minnows, and the more the better.

Personally, I’m proud of how much UK Corporation T HAB Ltd pays.

Not surprising considering it's the same big companies avoiding tax that make government policy. Aren't these the kind of practises/unfairness that we've been complaining about for over a decade now, and are perhaps finally starting to unwind?

I thought this was a good line
"The fact nearly 60% of the department's inquiries into compliance turn out to produce less than 1% of the additional tax raised constitutes very poor targeting," its chairman Edward Leigh said.
"It is extraordinary that there is no correlation between the resources committed to each inquiry and the amount of tax in question."

Also consider all those using non dom rules and allocating their bonuses and shares to their wives who live abroad.
IR35 is truely petty when compared to the sums involved in other areas.

If this meant lower taxes for the rest of us I would be cheering from the rooftops.
It doesnt.
It means that the government will have even more money to waste and that prices will go up.
