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.

Well said Stan re#69644

The other way is what the Vikings done to blighty, before blighty learned how to do it properly.

This, and any other complex country requires money to fund it's endevours, coming in and nicking the business without paying a fair whack leads to the country going downhill, it bleeds it dry.

However, Haystack thinks that's fine and dandy.

You are on the wrong side of logic!

I didn't say it was fine. I said I was happy that they obey the law. The answer is not to moan about Amazon but to change the law. Amazon has a duty to its shareholders to maximize profits and that involves paying the least tax within the law. Amazon's first duty is to its shareholders and not to the UK.

hays its the bastards that avoid paying their taxes that set the rules .
Cameron and any other mp who is found to be avoiding and fiddling their taxes
should be named and shamed and banned from working in any gov post

The NHS will be at risk of further privatisation if Britain stays in the EU because of the major trade deal being negotiated with the US, David Owen will say on Wednesday.


Lord Owen, who was health secretary for Labour in the mid-1970s before co-founding the SDP, said it would be impossible to take the NHS back to its original purpose unless the UK votes to leave in the June referendum.

Speaking to the Guardian, Owen said the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) between the EU and the US could put the NHS in “serious danger” unless there are more special protections to exclude the health service from the terms of the deal.

David Cameron was forced to issue a statement detailing his family's personal tax arrangements amid growing international scandal surrounding the Panama papers leak. Mr Cameron took the unusual step of insisting that neither he, his wife or children receive any benefit from an offshore company set up in Panama by his late father Ian, which paid no tax in Britain for 30 years.


The Telegraph has established that Ian Cameron’s firm Blairmore Holdings Inc was moved to Ireland in 2010 - the year David Cameron became Prime Minister. A source close to Blairmore Holdings - which is still operating with assets of £35 million – said the company had been moved because its directors believed it was about to “come under more scrutiny”.
just a bloody crook the family are a bloody disgrace Cameron new and took the free tax free cash

paid no uk tax for 30 years make is family pay it all back plus interest of 5%

then the tax man makes late tax payers pay a fine for being a day late
they need now to turn all their attention to these crooks and liars

So H/S just to make your position clearer, do you involve yourself or your family in off shore tax avoiding and or evading?

The 'Panama Papers' appear to have revealed Britain's key role as a link to thousands of firms based in tax havens.

UK firms feature as 'intermediaries' more often than almost any other nation in 11million secret files obtained from Panama law firm Mossack Fonseca.

HM Revenue and Customs is set to probe the documents handed to a global group of journalists, who said they name dozens of world leaders and celebrities using tax havens to hide their wealth.

To me, he is a "consummated self interested liar" who is beginning to unravel.

I agree with Stan here ,i have never and never will buy anything from Amazon due to the fact that they avoid tax while making fortunes in this country .
It is the fault of the law however we can do something about it by never buying from these companies .

Stan don't tell me you have ever bought from Amazon ?

I to never buy from amazon or any non uk company have stopped using T/C STARBUCKS ALDI LIDDLE
MC DONS
KFC
AND MANY MORE

It is the fault of government who fail to legislate appropriately and then implement or apply the tax rules effectively. (Deliberately or by ignorance.)

We the people can make a difference with companies ,if you don't like the way they practise ,don't buy from them.

It is the fault of government who fail to legislate appropriately and then implement or apply the tax rules effectively. (Deliberately or by ignorance.)

It is also the responsibility of the individual to act within the "intent" of the "rules", rather than gleefully advantage themselves at the expense of others.

I suspect it's all tied up in trusts, you have the use of the money without actually owning it.

AFAIK, Cameroon has a country pile which he has the use of, without actually owning it.


It's a rich mans game.

It's woken Freda up hasn't it .
