ricgem2002 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Yes, that is the actual amount of the tax burden that they pay. so they dont actually pay tax at 40% more like less than half that . i wonder if everybody else in the country did the same the government would be happy about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the top 1% of earners up sticks and left we would lose just over a 1/4 of our total income tax revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hitch_1980 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 how hard is it for a nation to just say its legal? Its not just our national laws. We kind of sign up to lots of world documentation involving lots of very important things such as human rights and how we interact with other countries....you seem to have got it into your head that the uk is the centre of of everything and we can do what we like.,....

Obelix Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 not with a good accountant they wont :loopy:some people are so gullible. I have a good accountant. Keeps everything square and fair and makes sure I pay what I should and nothing more. I paid last year £107k in personal tax. Does that sound like tax dodging to you? Tell you what - when you earn enough to be in the position of paying that tax you come back and tell everyone why you are minimising your tax liability as far as legally possible - and I assure you you will do so.

pb1977 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 we are talking about the top 0.001 % But you still have not come up with how we would seize their assets as i think we all can safely say most of it will be stashed overseas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but the thing is we don't know what the % of their total earnings is payed in tax. It could be 40% it could be 10% we just don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
