More tax revelations
Once again we find loads of people/companies (including some of the lefty leaning but capitalist loving great and the good) have been avoiding as much tax as they can and in some cases in spite of what they preach to others or being the world's richest company...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-41889787 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-41886608 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-41878305 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-41880153 https://www.theguardian.com/news/201...aradise-papers I note the Guardian makes plenty of comment whilst having their own questions to answer about the tax they pay and how their company is set up with regard to tax liability. https://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2016/0...-arrangements/ The amount of vitriol the targets are subjected to doesn't, however, always seem to correlate to the sums avoided but more how popular they are. Double standards clearly but what's new though eh?... :shrug: |

Saw something about a Russian with shares in two Premier League clubs yesterday and one of Trump's crooked guys making bucks from sanctioned Russians so really must catch up on today's developments! |

Seems mostly like Jealousy, there is no indication that these people are breaking any laws.
Pretty much anyone would avoid taxes if they could. |

It's all very well people trying to rubbish the rich for what they are doing, but if it is legal, I think people should shut up about it. If they want to protest, they should protest to the Government about our lax tax laws. |

What sticks in the throat however is the double standards and hypocrisy evident both on the part of some of the companies and individuals involved in minimising their own tax whilst preaching morals to the rest of us but also the manner in which some are harshly targeted by the media and general public whereas others are not. It's easy to make a gesture to boycott a coffee shop chain in order to pressure them to change their policy but not so easy to boycott the maker/supplier of products and services you love and rely on like Apple's for example. |

Re: More tax revelations
no one with an ounce of sense would pay a single penny more than they have to in tax as long as it's legal to do so .

If laws are being broken, then they should be held accountable. If laws are not being broken then people need to stop whinging about it. We already seem to have plenty of witch hunts on the go. |

If the law is too complicated to enforce, the solution seems to be straight forward to me. Simplify it, dear Henry, dear Henry.... :idea: |
