Brexit

Depends. Will you be putting it on Presenting Percy?

 

A two year old chart? With numbers and colours and everything? You've clearly proved your point.


Which was what again, I can't remember?

 

I'll see how I get on today, plenty of pointers in Leopardstown over the next 2 days (weather permitting).

 

How would you like the UK Budget Expenditure presented?
I'll see what I can do.

 

Accurately, mibbe a wee bar chart that shows us mugs paying for everything through tax and national insurance while massive multi nationals and the super rich avoid most of their tax obligations.

 

Wouldn't want to bet in any of those Leaopardstown Grade 1s today myself.

Michael O'Leary with 2/3 of the runners in the Irish Champion Hurdle. Would maybe consider backing Min against the favourite there I suppose. Will any of the runners be all out to win though?

 

Could you not express it through the medium of dance?

Haven't seen the cards yet,if O'Leary doesn't win a race then a Mullins trained horse will,hard for a small yard to get a look in.Big prize money so I would say yes to try and win,these lot wouldn't worry about prices dropping,would they?

 

The Tories have increased it

 

That's not a bar chart ya pie

 

I thought it worked better as a pie chart.

 

HMRC employs about 518 more staff to investigate “affluent” taxpayers—that’s people with an annual income of at least £150,000 a year, or wealth of £1 million or more. The affluent unit is tasked with investigating where wealthy individuals are avoiding or evading taxes.

In 2016, the National Audit Office reported that there were around 550,000 affluent or high-net worth taxpayers, and that they could account for around £2 billion in lost tax revenue, primarily due to tax avoidance and the disputes over how tax law is interpreted.

Tax avoidance is the exploitation of tax rules to gain an advantage which wasn’t intended by Parliament, but which is legal. Tax evasion is an illegal activity where people conceal or misrepresent information in order to reduce the tax they pay.

HMRC estimates that £1.7 billion in tax revenue was lost through avoidance in 2016/17, £5.3 billion was lost through differences in legal interpretation, and another £5.3 billion was through evasion.

DWP and benefit fraud
As of October 2017, DWP employsaround 4,045 full-time equivalent staff to deal with benefit fraud. Of these, 1,928 full-time equivalent staff are directly involved in investigations.

An estimated £2 billion in benefits were fraudulently claimed in 2017/18, according to the government. That’s the equivalent of 1.2% of total benefit expenditure.

Hmmm!

 

And that's not counting the £6.2 Billion that fell down the back of Boris Johnson's sofa.

 

Mmmm...pie
