In case you didn't notice, the status quo changed a couple of days ago .... it's now a little leaner, and a helluva lot meaner.

Re: The Tories
 
I've been thinking that if the tories want to raise the big bucks, in order to eliminate the deficit and pay down the debt, it might be a good idea to go after those who are avoiding tax. A novel idea, I know. And I suspect that not too many of the avoiders will define themselves as socialists:rolleyes:

By the way, I noticed this in the "Guardian" (sorry Jaysay, I only look at the "Mail" for the pics;)):

Barclays tax avoidance division generated £1bn a year ? Salz review | Business | guardian.co.uk

And this one made the main headline:

Identities of the rich who hide cash offshore | UK news | The Guardian

The sh .... oops ... feces is already hitting the swiftly spinning object over here:

Senator's husband put $1.7M in offshore tax havens - Canada - CBC News


Ah well, enough links ... I have more Bomber in the fridge:D

Ah but they turn a blind eye to these, much better to go after lazy scroungers.:rolleyes: n many knobs agree.

Cashy....many of the tax avoidance schemes are legal.......and though I do not agree with it, you cannot blame firms who rely on these schemes to boost their profits.
After all businesses are in the game to make money. So the answer is simple...close the schemes down, close the loopholes that allow these companies to use them.

It is the tax system(I know Eric won't like me using that term) that is at fault for allowing the loopholes to remain.
Likewise, the benefits system allows people to get away with cheating....so tackle the problem and make those who are claiming benefits, to which they are not entitled, pay every penny back.

If this was done then there would be more in the pot for those who need the support of benefits.

It isn't rocket science....is it?

Nah it aint rocket science, these firms control the top politicians,by funding the parties, so therefore they do control the tax system. so these loopholes will remain always.

Two cases Margaret one legal one illegal, I don't remember the previous government, even though they knew about these loopholes, doing anything at all to close them, nor did they do anything to weed out benefit cheats either

I agree we make it to easy for people to come here and take from the system without giving.

What is not so easy and you didn't manage it, is to come up with a set of rules for giving benefits to people that works. The government are saying 9 out of 10 will be better off after the changes (not that I believe them). All we hear about is the other 1 in 10.
