Wildcat Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 Legal tax avoidance is a moral obligation. We should all be avoiding as much tax as we can. This is a corrupt, wasteful, warmongering, government, that puts its own interests way above those of you and I. Why on earth would you want to give it more money than you absolutely have to? You should take every opportunity possible to avoid funding it Until the government learns to use our money responsibly, don't give it any more than you absolutely have to! Quite simply because tax pays for the care of the sick, education for children and the infrastructure of society. Deliberate tax avoidance is anti-social and immoral.

Deliberate tax avoidance is anti-social and immoral. Well after a Socialist government in power for thirteen years, why were the laws not changed to prevent what you see as anti-social and immoral?

decaff Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Deliberate tax avoidance is anti-social and immoral. And that is were the problem lies it is immoral but not illegal to avoid it by using a loophole. Different people have different morals and Mr Green et al obviously have no problem doing what they're doing. I am in agreement with the fact that money earned in this country should be allowed to go abroad. If a person wants to avoid income tax by paying themselves the minimum salary and then pay UK dividends and come under different tax that is fine by me as the earnings are still under UK tax but moving your money abroad to avoid it is a very grey area as far as my morals go. Although this may be different for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pb1977 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Lets take Philip Green has he actually avoided not paying what he was legally required to pay. The £billion divi was payed to his Wife and not himself. So how can he pay tax on money that he didn't receive himself. Ok we all know he will enjoy the trappings of the £billion but the fact remains it was payed to his wife and not himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezer Innit Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Quite simply because tax pays for the care of the sick, education for children and the infrastructure of society. Deliberate tax avoidance is anti-social and immoral. It also pays for illegal wars, nuclear weapons, police brutality, massive waste, and John Prescott's croquet lawn. Willingly paying for more of that is anti-social and immoral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greybeard Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Well after a Socialist government in power for thirteen years, why were the laws not changed to prevent what you see as anti-social and immoral? Exactly ! Every time some halfwit Chancellor opens his mouth on budget day he opens yet more holes in the system for the sly and the crafty to slip through. You have to believe that or admit there is a more sinister reason for creating all those loopholes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever wondered why you can't ask your employer to pay part of your salary to your wife so you can stay under one of the tax brackets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
