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 and can we stop calling him Sir as it only degrades the dong.

The Country and that includes the last Labour Government could have put a stop to tax avoidence if they wished but have never done so, as it is part and parcel of the system.
Take Jersey hiding beneficicial ownership for example:

All just noise!!
They are just picking on Green - as its payback time and sells papers.
What has TM said about the Saudi killing of Khashoggi - what will the UK do about selling them arms?
It is all noise!!

It is hardly tax avoidance if you live and work outside of the country ala Lewis Hamilton, possibly the best racing driver ever from this country. He has every right to protect what he earns.

So has everyone else, as long as it legal iturama. All this moral stuff and picking on a few only to hide what is in full view. What is good for the Goose is good for the Gander.

CT - yes of course it's all noise, and for sure no country whether russia or uk or usa or china or france will cease selling arms to saudi (or anyone else) because of this latest

certainly madoff has no relevance to tax avoidance - or effective evasion by your criteria
anyway, your answer is what to the supplementary question ....... "in your not very humble opinion, is anyone who avoids tax a lowlife?"

âif i knew i wouldn't ask...you canât be serious đ
âbtw, in your not very humble opinion, is anyone who avoids tax a lowlife?â What do you mean âin your not very humble opinionâ humble is my middle name đ also you confuse âoffshore tax avoidanceâ with on shore âtax planningâ.

what's the difference?
the purpose of both is to legally minimise tax liability
sometimes the scheme(s) run too close to the wind and hmrc - when it can be bothered - takes action - eg vs ingenious film company
