Liam Fox has signed a deal ensuring smooth trade with Switzerland & Liechtenstein post-Britait Because that's definitely what he was there to do, negotiate trade with two countries noted for their generosity to British persons and companies who feel that HM Revenue & Customs are too damn greedy when it comes to how much tax they have to pay that year...
Well then perhaps the British government should recognize the tax people pay elsewhere. I am currently spending two months in Spain in order to avoid British taxation. I have already paid 65k in taxes to the DRC but the UK takes no note of this. If I spend 2 more days in the UK before April 6th I will have to pay another 55k to the exchequer. I wouldn't mind paying the difference, about 10k, but am I fek going to pay tax twice. The UK lose.
The implication being that, if they have a bolthole in Switzerland or Liechtenstein, they don't even pay once I'm still amazed Lewis Hamilton didn't get utterly roasted for that time he said he was going to leave Stevenage to spend more time with his friends and family...in Zurich.
I don't care whether you voted in or out, the lack of government planning for the possibility of a no-deal exit is criminal, including half-arsed planning examples like this: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...al-ferry-contract-for-company-without-vessels
Tbf they probably thought parliament were adult enough to come to some agreement on a deal, who would have thought that so many would be so self promoting that we would fall into a no deal.
Just in case we'd taken our eye off the Trump **** show, you'll all be glad to know he just plumbed new depths even for him.....
Not at all, but to me, providing that you can prove that you have paid tax, then why have the need for an agreement?
I suspect the nature of the proof (ease of verification etc) is what the UK taxman has issues with. The premise of a reciprocal agreement is that just as you would be fairly taxed as a UK citizen working in the DRC, then the converse should also hold for a DRC citizen working in the UK.
I wish, 35% in the DRC plus 20% Muzungo tax (ex pat tax) plus some other dodgy tax. It probably all goes straight into the presidents pocket.
I wonder what systems will be set up to stop companies profiteering from Brexit? I can just see those that are not impacted adding on a "Brexit supplement" to reflect extra costs that they might not even be experiencing as a result of leaving. I recall a similar thing happened with decimalisation. I think a lot of costs went up when companies started moving the new pence charge toward the same as the old pence charge - except the new pence was worth 2.5 times as much (or something like that). Actually scrub that. Obviously nothing will be done to control how much prices go up.
Did anyone ever write a song about the British governments love of taxing the British people......and giving it to Europe....?
We spent £53m on Boris Johnson's bridge-shaped vanity project Wouldn't that have been better spent on the NHS?
