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.

Expatriates who are paid offshore in dollars or sterling usually use an offshore bank. I used RBS International in Jersey. All quite legal. Once I returned to the UK, I paid the tax due on the period while i was in the UK and then transferred the balance to a mainland account. There is nothing illegal about companies using so called tax havens despite all the hubbub about it. What is obscene is the amount of tax we pay and how much is wasted.

Victim - Yes they use it - on their luxury lifestyle - buying Yachts, Jets, Homes to dream of, all over the world plus of course Jewels, Cars,Horses, Politicians, Law Officers. In addition they send their children to only the best schools because the money has been cleaned by many of these offshore Crown controlled Islands.

At who`s expense - the middle class - the working class - all normal tax payers that suffer from lack of investment in schools, hospitals, poor housing etc. While they of course can afford the best schools, healthcare in the world.

You have Islands like Jersey that offer the rich deals that set their tax at say £250k p.a and less if they set up home in the Islands - and do you not think that some of these people that do these dirty deals do not get benefits/backhanders stashed in other tax havens or maybe a home here and there or holidays.

iturama, you should have had to pay the tax where you work or reside at the time of earning the income you deposited offshore imo. That is the way it should work.

IT and TANKER in the same sentence... well there's a thing.

CT, many expatriate arrangements, which are agreed with the host countries, are on the basis of a local payment, which is taxed at source, and a hard currency offshore payment, which is not. Otherwise skilled workers are simply not going to work in so-called developing countries or isolated regions, when alternatives are available.
Behave yourself Stan. Tanker occasionally came up with good tips. Your parents must be very disappointed how you turned out.

Modern-day piratical morality comes to mind.

Does Amber have financial resources in the Cayman Isle?

Typical 'leftie' speak:

Week 1. We should all get the same. I demand everyone immediately puts 'their everything' into the pot and we have an equal share out.

Week 2. I am not good with money but I cannot help it and I have now spent mine. I demand everyone immediately puts 'their everything' into the pot and we have an equal share out.

Hmmm? Need I go on with this?

If these matters are not addressed you will have riots and revolution before too long ExecLine, it is not the "leftie" that will be the problem, it will be the far right with arms and weapons to maintain the status quo. The establishment already do suppress free speech, with gagging orders and threats of legal action against those that put their heads above the parapet. The real threat, with which they control is bankruptcy and jail, they already use these weapons, and while everyone feels their own position would be under threat they support the establishment out of fear and not wanting to bring the wrath of government and police, with the judiciary backing them all up.

So your a bit of Tanker fan are you IT, no accounting for taste.

Why is it when I read Exec's, It's and a few other posts I am reminded of:

“The world has enough for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed.”

Why is it I'm reminded every time you post Freda , that your a self preserved closet capitalist , who's after grabbing as much as anyone else is , otherwise you wouldn't be here .

As you get older it seems to be that you become more of a socialist, unless you are mega rich (and even then some try to give a lot away), as it seems you try to protect your gains in the knowledge that your going to need and use the Social and Heath services. In the same way the old vote for higher pensions without a care for the young that have to pay higher taxes to provide them. You hear the old shout, we are entitled to it as we worked and paid our taxes, what they do not say is how little they paid and how much they have drawn.

what they do not say is how little they paid and how much they have drawn

Compulsory euthanasia at 65 is probably the answer.

Save the NHS a packet hilary .

I assume you are talking about an IQ of 65...save us all a packet.

It.

You had better be careful, you may be first on the list.

I thought it was only dustmen and Brexiteers who had an IQ so low as 65.

:o)

Well the Spanish Army should be safe since the minimum IQ required is 70. The Spanish Government has no such requirement which might explain the mess they're getting themselves in.
But please keep up Hilary. No one is a simple bin man anymore. In todays world where everyone is a winner, a dustman is now a "waste management and disposal technician". In parts of Wales, lifeguards are now "wet leisure assistants" and of course anyone that comes to your house with a screwdriver is now an engineer.

What next ?...Bush senior has apparently groped a 16year old girl......well bloody lucky him !...please don't tell me that some of these tarts don't deserve it....what....?....
