How many of the 300m Americans and the 60m Brits have you met to make that 'in your experience' judgment?

That's fine Chilco and when she signs in to see for herself, all she will read is me saying that the other woman wants me ( she is only human ) and she can even view the evidence herself in the vibe video. Nowhere will she read that I have expressed the feelings back Kylie knows her heart is safe with me
You maybe on to that. My first senior school girlfriend began with a K... But then I also liked Nena with her neun und neunzig luft ballons
But it's not evasion! Remember the mantra trotted out by a succession of IR (then HMRC) spokespeople for years? "Avoidance is legal, evasion is not." As has already been said, if the government (and opposition) are incensed that someone has slipped through their increasingly tatty tax net, change the law so that what is now "aggressive avoidance" will become evasion. It's come to something when people can be penalised by law for doing something regarded as immoral, yet ostensibly legal. What next, adultery police? Come to think of it, I do remember that not crying over Princess Diana was, for a short while, a capital offence.
Let me guess, you avoid paying some tax so it's ok? All people that try to either evade or avoid tax in my book are dicks. You should always pay the tax you owe no more and no less. I bet most of the people avoiding or evading tax were born in a NHS hospital. Just imagine how much better it would be if people paid the taxs they should. Yes the Goverment are weak and they don't go after the big guys (that includes companies), but that shouldn't stop them thinking what they are doing is wrong. Tax avoidance and evasion should both be illegal in my book.( I find the way you bring up Diana just to try and add to your post distasteful.) I am now off to work, so I can earn a living and pay my taxs to help this country out(even if it is a little).
You know when you agree to stay up and help someone finish their university assignment even after you've done your own? Well, eff that. I'm still up at 5am and I finished ages ago. If I don't re-emerge during the next 48 hours, send out the search party.
I like most will be going to work and do my bit ref taxes . I would imagine lotsxagree that avoidance and evasion should be illegal . Fact remains though that until the Law is changed one of them won't be .
I realised the scale of the tax avoidance problem after a discussion about ten years ago at work. One of the salesmen had, like me, had a bumper year and was working out what to do with the commission. He was trying to persuade me to buy into a scheme where you could buy shares in a rubber plantation in Belize. The net aim was to invest the gross pay for five years with a small income but at the end of the time you got your tax back on top of the amount you'd invested. When tax law is written in such a way as to allow normal people in a coffee bar in South Bank to be discussing buying a rubber plantation 5,000 miles away, you realise something is seriously, seriously wrong. However, there's an international problem. Under US law, tax is due where a company is registered. Under Irish law, tax is due where a company is managed. Guess what? Apple is headquartered in Ireland and managed in the USA. So, it pays little to no tax on a huge chunk of its profits. Anywhere. For the past five years. (This is obviously a pretty gross simplification, but the gist is there). Don't buy Apple products. It's not simple to fix but at least the problem's now been noticed, so we can hope. Vin
