Stan Tamudo Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Cameron, master of the unforeseen consequence, has shot himself in the foot this time with this ill thought out bit of popularism. The man's certainly got some front Anna. http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2012/apr/20/cameron-family-tax-havens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFKvsNixon Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Cameron, master of the unforeseen consequence, has shot himself in the foot this time with this ill thought out bit of popularism. He has picked on his own, and unlike the little people, they have money to defend themselves. Soon it will be open season on celebs and politicians throwing accusations and counter accusations at each other. If I was Jimmy Carr I would defend myself by asking (and making it my business to find out,) exactly how much tax Mr Cameron pays on his combined income, and what subsidies he gets on his landholdings etc, followed by every member of the cabinet. Personally, I would like to know what tax George Osborne, Tony Blair and Bono pay compared with their income. With any luck this could become as big a scandal as the MPs expenses. I can't really see any front line politician using tax any avoidance schemes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Blair's tax arrangements have been covered quite well in Private Eye lately and some of the stuff from there leaked into the mainstream media. If the findings are to be believed Blair pays about 3% tax. Shocking really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll struggle to avoid paying tax on your income if you're currently on PAYE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Since it can't be spent on "a minister buying a duckpond" that's a fairly pointless comparison to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
