Off Topic Paradise Papers - offshore tax avoidance

some fascinating stuff coming out from the details of the leaked papers (might need Imp and Obi to interpret though!)

Queen investing money in the Cayman Islands

Mention of offshore accounts relating to Arsenal’s owners

Lords having £450 million offshore accounts no one knew about

‘Offshore tax avoidance has become an elite global sport’!

No wonder there’s increasing differences between richest and poorest globally

EDIT - No party politics please. This isn’t about that, it’s about how the global elite keep themselves in that position

 

Look yourself in the mirror and say you wouldn't.

Because I know I ****ing well would

 

The queen bit is a bit of a stretch.

The Everton ownership is a definite concern.

 

It surprises me that people still get surprised by this kind of thing.
This will be a needle in a haystack compared to what really goes on.

 

I can look myself in the mirror and say I wouldn't.

Personally I think that if I was wealthy enough to do this I'd be wealthy enough not to need to

 

I don't think in the Queens case it would be tax avoidance, unless I'm wrong I don't think she is liable to tax but chooses to pay.

 

This country is going to hell in a handcart anyway, this just underlines it.

 

Stan Kroenke? I wouldn't trust anyone tied up with that man.

 

With that attitude, you needn't worry about it.

 

people without money always think its fair that someone with money subsidise them - that's the way things are

 

People with huge amounts of money have only ever got in that position by people with less money ‘subsidising’ them by either working for them for less than the work will actually earn or buying their products at a premium

 

And you think politics isn't involved in this?

 

By being clever, ruthless and putting in the miles.

 

Don't forget Bono, the man who tells us we should all be happy to pay more taxes to fund his pet projects whilst minimising what he pays on his vast fortune.

 

Set up your own one man business and don't buy anything. Problem solved.

This thread ain't lasting long.

 

And often a huge amount of luck and/or fortunate timing.

The smartest people are not the richest, the most ruthless people are not the richest and the most hard working people are not the richest, you need more than that to make vast amounts of money.

 

In Apple's case both of those, over 10 billion profit in 3 months the worlds gone mad.

 

Would I do it...to rite I would, why are people still surprised if happens?

If somebody came to you and let's say said would you like to half the tax you pay a year legally, not a single person would say no
