Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

You would have to kick out Ford, General Motors and almost every foreign company as they pay no tax in the UK. These days all multinational companies pick and choose the what country they pay their taxes in. Naturally they pick the ones that have the lowest tax regimes. People are only making a fuss about it because we are not in a boom. This policy of choosing a tax domicile has been happening since WWII.

TANKER if Osbourne taxed these companys you and Hays have listed hed be able to pay you a decent pension.

JUST THINK OF THAT.

VOTE LABOUR.

of course the companies are not remotely corrupt, but merely legally minimising their tax liabilities according to current legislation

how one plugs this loophole is not so simple or obvious, and though the amis appear to be making efforts to change the law, in quite what respect is not yet apparent

personally, i would have thought a form of WHT (withholding tax) would be the simplest, and that is certainly applied in more and more countries throughout the world

Ed Miliband is giving his keynote speech at the Lab conference today. That should be a riot. It is regarded as a make or break speech for him.

in your own way, i'm afraid you're as blinkered and smug as sticky - apparently and amazingly still welcome in his local conservative club! - and red fred

the government should put a tax on their products at point of sale . so the person buying will look at the extra cost buying from a tax fiddling company

gf if labour had a leader they would get many more votes but alas they chose a sickening clown a rich person talking like a person struggling to live he as not got a clue
the man is all for immigrants so he will not get in
the problem will be no right out winner at the next election .

ukip will hold the power with over 25% yes over 25%
we have had enough of immigrants ripping the soul out iof the uk
we want out of the corrupt eu and ship out all migrants

Milli will win the next GE.

His speech today like last years WITHOUT SCRIPT will be a work of art.

Cynic..........silly billy all the tories at my tory club like TANKER have moved over to UKIP. They have even taken down Maggies large photo because of the child molesting MPs under her reign. WHICH SHE KNEW ABOUT AND KEPT QUIET.

gf that is correct

Manuel,

I think you have the views of a blind man looking at a picture!

======

Taxation has to be reformed internationally and nationally.

I think that the taxation system in the UK is too complex and need to be simplified.

------
I think many in the city see of think that the EU will move to address some of the problems and also examine the transfer of "honest" money across the zone and attempt to deal with off shore tax havens,

Due to a large amount of the money movement "paper" money it may be simpler that it appears.

If the computerise “identity card" project had not been scrapped it would have enabled the tracing of funds more easily.
(Before you dismiss the latter, try an engage a few of the grey cells you have left.)
One of the reasons it was scrapped.

fred yes correct make tax simple if you earn you pay if you trade you pay

And if you go to Cuba you pay a comi tax.

GF.

I think of the Hazy one as a "want to be".

He didn't go to the Bullingdon Club but he wants to associate with them!

I wonder how Osborne will explain his latest success!

Public borrowing at £11.6bn in August
Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne outside Number 11 Downing Street
Government borrowing is more than 6% higher than at the same time a year ago, official figures have shown
C

The Office of National Statistics (ONS) said public sector net borrowing stood at £11.6bn last month.

Total borrowing for this year stands at £45.4bn, some 6.2% higher than at the same time a year earlier.

immigration costs the uk over 44b ever year nhs schools benefits
we must get out of the stinking eu telling the uk they must give benefits to immigrants yet they do not pay them in spain france Germany the struggle to get any beneftis if the rest of the eu is like turning water in to wine

immigrants only come here for free meal ticket not to work lazy good for nothings
go down the dhs and take a look full of the scum

fred its the Tax take, Osbourne is not recovering enough tax hence the increase in borrowing. Reasons...........1. LOW WAGES. 2. Tax Avoidance 3. Tax Evasion 4. Multi Nationals increasingly getting away with not paying tax and osbourne turning a blind eye. Beggars belief that we are supposed to have lowered unemployment and have a booming economy but he is having to borrow more. Just goes to show its one almighty CON JOB.

The leaked speech from Miliband is going to put forward a 10 year plan to mend the UK. It does sound a bit like the communist era 10 year plans that were set in stone and could not be changed to match world events. He clearly expects two terms of 5 years. I really can't see the public taking the 10 year choice when they don't trust Labour with the economy. Voters tend to have shorter horizons. Hopefully, Osborne will hand out a few bribes in the budget. Ten years gives Labour time to start out as a tax and spend party and make the transition to borrow and spend.

TANKER its not EU immigrants that are pushing the figures up, its non EU immigrants eg, pakistanis. Arranged marriages etc etc.

Wait until Turkey, Albania et al join the EU, 100,000's Syrians fleeing to Turkey atm, won't take them long to get here.

Leaked speech hays LOL LOL LOL LOL.

10 years Hays, my gosh if the Tories lose this one and they will, we wont see another Tory government as all the traditional Tory pension voters will no longer be with us and those that are will be with Super Nigel.
