Yes I think the penalty is a jolly good dressing down and some quite scary posturing.

What, one of those silky Japanese style ones with a dragon on the back?

That contravenes human rights, that does.

Isn't there a new law that says tax avoidance is morally illegal?

Or something?

Moved to General as it was never a useful thread in B/C, and (contractorcontractor can consider himself lucky that I did...)

That's ok you are not expected to understand everything.

But remember, when it comes to law and taxes, ignorance is not an excuse.

You're are sockie aren't you?

I'm sorry but what are you talking about

Well done you,

You have been drinking haven't you?

Poster of the year? Judging by the standard of your posts, I'd say you did very well.

If you hide your "perfectly legal tax plan", chances are, you already suspect it isn't legal at all.

I'm sorry but what are you talking about

Ha, some people dont like others to talk. Instead of a counter argument we have an attempt to silence...

Here is the test:

1) if you are happy for the taxman to see your income, it is avoiding - like stepping out of the way of a car.

2) if you hide income from the taxman, it is evading - like hiding behind a bush.

Simply Avoidance is working within the law. Evasion you are breaking the law.

There is a big difference between perfectly legal tax planning which is referred to as tax avoidance and the criminal act of tax evasion

If you hide your "perfectly legal tax plan", chances are, you already suspect it isn't legal at all.

You really must learn about the actual situation if you are going to try and rant. Stops you looking stupid.

Mr Northerner, I think you have spoken on the Security Cleared thread.

If so, here is something to think about. If you are secuity cleared and hide global income from the taxman, you are at risk of blackmail. If so, you could/would/should lose your security clearance.
