wellyman Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 It's income tax, what have corporations got to do with it? If one billionaire like Jim Ratcliffe leaves the UK along with his £multi-million salary and relocates to Switzerland where he buys his £600/bottle wine, his first class air tickets, his meals at the Ritz, his furniture, his cars, plays his golf, pays for his health care & where he pays his household staff etc etc. Then he relocates his companies head office there also, where his high rolling staff all pay their taxes, buy their wine, air tickets etc etc.. And the company pays its corporation tax there too....how many folk in the UK paying tax on £25K, but claiming benefits, NHS treatment, schooling for their kids does it take to make up the shortfall?

tinfoilhat Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Is it? How? (genuine question) Bedroom tax fr starters. I'm all for trying to cut the overall benefits bill but by charging people for an extra bedroom, particularly when there is no other social housing available with less bedrooms does look like putting the boot in for the sake of it. And how much has that saved? Not much I'd guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny tax never happened, neither did the pasty tax. Do try and keep up. Pushing disabled people into unsuitable work - haven't seen that. Taking people of dla, yes but actually making disabled people do jobs they can't do I haven't seen. Do you have an example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I1L2T3 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I was thinking more about how working people on benefits have been disproportionately targeted. The government has a schizophrenic approach - it launches blanket attacks on benefits recipients whilst lauding 'hardworking people'. It seems to conveniently forget that many hardworking people are on benefits, in receipt of tax credits and housing benefits just to stay afloat. ---------- Post added 27-01-2014 at 12:44 ---------- Granny tax never happened, neither did the pasty tax.

Do you have an example? I'm not so sure that people have been pushed into work they can't do but certainly there is plenty of evidence of Atos assessments finding people fit for work who are not fit for work. But that is where it becomes clear that the Atos assessments are not based on anything approaching reality - the people deemed fit, if they are not in the large group that challenge and overturn the Atos decision, are not finding work in huge numbers. If they were the government would be singing it from the rooftops. Guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youve had debate explained before - it's up to you to prove your assertions (like the economy halving last March for example) not for others to disprove them.
