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.

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.................................ends

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.

Now hey, no objection to you taking the pxxx out of Sir Goldfinger but don't tar everyone north of Watford with the same brush pleeeeze!!

Manue;
fred - oh hahaha! ...... in your dreams in your utopian water bed .....
as i wrote previously, generations of previous gov'ts have done no more than tinker at the edges, usually for political gain, and every 5 years

It has been said over the years about tax reforms.

Check back to 1900.

-======

In 1945, the tories said no to changes in the Welfare System, the setting up of th NHS. the changes in Education system and the necessary or society needed nationalisation of worn out Private Industries.

In a democracy a bloodless change you need the majority of the voters to create that change.

Better slowly and addressing mistakes at the same time.

One thing which would aid it is the muzzling of a "bought" press. I doubt possible or acceptable.

Hairy One,

The tax man commeth!

Hope you have your knickers on.


-=-=-=-=-

ROCHESTER, ROCHESTER, ROCHESTER.


I wonder if David Davies is going to put his hat in the ring!!!

Would consider voting for him!

Where is Watford? I operate on a north of Hendon or North Circular basis.

edit

Apparently Watford is 'up north'.

a certain team called Man UTD have proved you terribly wrong for the last 20 years Hays, carry on dreaming old boy.

What is Man UTD? Sounds like an STD!

‘JustGiving’ page to assuage Myleene’s ‘Mansion Tax’ outrage!18/11/2014

A JustGiving page has been set up to help Myleene Klass pay her mansion tax after she took Ed Miliband to task about the scheme on ITV’s The Agenda.

The Littlewoods designer seemed to think the Labour leader’s pledge to impose a £250/week tax on properties worth more than £2million was unfair: “In London, which is where 80 per cent of the people who will be paying this tax actually live, have you seen what that amount of money can get you? It’s like a garage.”

Here’s Mr Miliband’s deadpan response: “”I totally understand that people don’t like paying more in tax.”

Myleene’s ill-judged words sparked a swift backlash, and now a JustGiving page has been set up to help her pay the bill, if a Labour government is elected next year.

The text reads: “Help Myleene Klass pay her Mansion Tax. Myleene is a struggling mother with a fortune of £11m who needs our help. Please be generous.”

More seriously, on Twitter, another person wrote: “Myleene Klaas don’t like the idea of having to pay #mansiontax. Is she even aware of the effects of #BedroomTax?”

This is the heart of the matter, of course. The Bedroom Tax has forced many families out of London – exactly as intended by the Conservatives – leaving the UK’s capital to become a playground for the rich.

Labour’s mansion tax plan will redress the balance by making it just as hard for the rich to live there as it is for the poor – unless prices come down, allowing the poor back in.

Myleene clearly had not thought that far into the matter.
