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.

There's no such a thing as an 'off shore tax scrounger'.........................ends

Stan is 100% right why on earth are they 'off shore' if its not to cheat and thieve.

And not to just cheat HMRC but to cheat every person living in this country.

People should NOT FORGET if someone does not pay monies as would be demanded by HMRC this leads to a tax revenue shortfall and a budget deficit as spending will be greater than incoming revenues which leads to borrowing and interest charges.

The loan and interest charges are then dispelled on the entire population which could involve a fall in pubic spending or an increase in taxation in one form of another.

Remember any uncollected tax, wether it be avoidance or evasion is going to effect you as an individual.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tax Scumsters should be tried and put in jail.

Cyners,

No, not taxed at source. The biggest benefit of a dividend over salary is the NI aspect (or rather, lack of).

aldo - sticky can call me what he likes; it never worries me much and we invariably kiss and make up in the end ..... however, he does suffer from "road rage" rather a lot and for no good reason

I agree that the film investment vehicle is probably legitimate. The company has been funding films for years. There are a number of similar firms. There are also several companies doing something similar with trees as an investment method and tax shelter.

Fred hasn't paid his poll tax that's why he moved to England

Cynic for all your bluster you are still no wiser than I or anyone for that matter and if you have insider knowledge Id advise you to keep schtum.

GF - let's try again ..... have you foresaken all your tax avoidance allowances, including writing a will and/or leaving your estate to your wife other than the minimum that the law may demand (not allows)?

Ingenious
i do not have inside information, but i do have a reasonable circle of legals who actually know their stuff

and hays (for once!) is absolutely spot-on with post 50673

Robert Maxwell was doing business for years...........it means nothing.

Look what happened to him.

oh dear .... hardly a parallel ... indeed, not even remotely so

He fell off a boat. Do you think it might have been the taxman who pushed him?

Cynic I have already spelt out what will happen on my death with my personal fortune,

this must be about the 5th time you have asked me.

You can be sure I will be working within the law of the land on any tax issue and not wishing to dump responsibility on other people for taxation.

Sorry I dont have that selfish trait.

ps, I will be paying HMRC for the Mansion Tax and as a British Citizen will be proud to do so. I realise not like a lot of others just how lucky I am to be in this privileged position.

He was forced into falling off that boat. HMCR were just ONE agency forming a que to nab him, after Simon Cawkwell aka Evil K had exposed his accounts and tax returns to the Times newspaper.

working within the law of the land ...... which is exactly what tax avoidance does!

sorry old chap, but you're trying to write your own script as suits while denigrating others who work within precisely that same rule book


and on that happy note, i shall go out for dinner with Beloved as it's our 35th anniversary :-)

Lol, you won't be paying any Mansion Tax because the muppet with a dog called Gromit hasn't got a prayer of ever being PM.

"working within the law of the land ...... which is exactly what tax avoidance does!"

sorry Old Bean NO aggressive Tax Avoidance DOES NOT.

hilary my dear never say never.

6 Tory defectors will screw Devious Dave next week.

Right Im off to cook my sausage and mash before the footie, TALLY HO everyone.

Presumable, sausage and mash is a northern thing? Served with side of barberry, confit kombu and crab biscuit, no doubt.

Northern baiting is a very popular spectator sport down here in the south. The only drawback is that it is too easy. It is not often that there is any decent opposition. The final result is usually a walkover.
