An excellent and simple scheme for avoiding UK taxes

1 Befriend the PM

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

[threaded]

btw - if you live in Switzerland and owe HMRC money, they can extradite you, but they can never get your money.

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

2 Setup your wife as the Director of your multi-million pound retail company and stipulate her residency is in Monaco
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.

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

Hotblack Desiato, the keyboard player of said band.

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

Yes.

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!

I think him being dead helps.

I can't help it if you are a peasant.

I am not a peasant, I am part of the working poor

You're thinking of his dad. The current Lord Rothermere was very much alive last time I checked.

Now my advice for those who die -
Declare the Pennies on your Eyes

Cos Im the Taxman
And your working for no-one but me

Are they not an allowable expense?

Move to Tennessee
Relatively recently the state government there tried to enact a state income tax, the populace revolted and forced a backdown

Or you could live in a large mansion in Wiltshire, pay yourself around half a million a year, own the Daily Mail and yet declare yourself as non domiciled in the UK.

Say a big hello to Lord Rothermere who manages not to pay tax here.

Cyprus

What a stupid thing to say.

Yes, the whole world has the same level of taxation.

Even in Eurozone, there are low tax countries (e.g. Cyprus) and high tax countries (UK, Denmark).
