Originally posted by BolshieBastard View PostAh right. So taxation in this country is now based, according to you, on a 'moral obligation' and not statute.
Im guessing then that 'morally' you take no steps to lessen the amount of tax you pay and take your contracting money fully compliant with IR35, yes ie 5% expenses, full tax and NI on the rest?
Im also guessing you have no compunction at paying any amount of tax HMRC defines as a 'fair share.' Why then bother having a Chancellor determine the rate of income tax, (corporation \ VAT for that matter) and having a Budget become law when all we need is HMRC to say what is a 'fair share.'

Getting through that lot of sharks would be my first hurdle.
Fending off the hangers on and scroungers is another problem. I used to sup with a self made millionaire and he really got sick of not being able to enjoy a quiet pint without someone pestering him to contribute to a new minibus or whatever current fund raising effort was going on.

Of course it is only really applicable to those blessed with morality, so I can see why someone like you might have failed to pick up on it
HTH

Apparently with lottery winners they only become happy for a few months or so.
Though personally I would prefer to live miserably in comfort than squalor.

The one that kept up the best would get a bonus of 10,000 at the end of the day, plus a day off. The one that did the worst would have to sing three choruses of 'heigh ho' and have to massage my feet for an hour with a scented ear bud.
and I would offer half to the spice girls if they promised to disband again

I'd be more concerned about my kids being kidnapped and a randsom being demanded.

A million would have set them up nicely and still allowed them to keep a grip on reality, this much, all at once is going to destroy them and many others.

Well - first thing they can do is setup a charitable foundation with 20 mill in. This to be invested, 90% of return distributed, 10% retained - ad infinitum. All begging to go to that for review and consideration.
