Wildcat Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 My bold (1) - perhaps it is. Perhaps it is just as much of public interest to how Unions receive and spend their money, and how they get taxpayer money via the UMF despite their £millions gained from membership subs and the fact that some monies are directed at political parties whilst receiving taxpayer money. My bold (2) - not really, it could easily be argued we are losing their tax revenue because they are effectively being forced offshore due to a regressive tax regime. If it's cheaper for them to be based abroad, they will follow the market, just as happens in any other market. 1) UMF? a few million quid to sweeten the unions for all the broken promises made at Warwick and that helped secure the 2005 Labour victory? You must be having a laugh. 2) Not sure how your point relates to the dishonesty of an organisation calling itself the Taxpayer's Alliance being funded by people that avoid paying tax? Your point seems to be one about closing down Tax havens, something I whole heartedly agree with but one the "Tax Payer's Alliance" would oppose..... and whilst they keep their funding secret we can only wonder why.

RonJeremy Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/oct/09/taxpayers-alliance-conservative-pressure-group read that - perhaps I should have asked you to be more specific. Who is the supporter who avoids paying tax, any more than everyone avoids paying tax that is not due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Ashcroft doesn't fund them of course.... http://www.taxpayersalliance.org/news/dirty-politics-michael-ashcroft-and-the-tpas-millionaire-funders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't there today but he said it and it will be available on podcast soon. The consultancy period is worrying. I think he is referring to terminating agency contracts.
