Multinational forced to pay some tax

[motorbiking]

what taxes did AirBnB owe?

I must admit. I can't see how Italian tourist and short term let tax will pay for UK public services. You did say NHS, not SSN

 

[JohnD]

I can't see how Italian tourist and short term let tax will pay for UK public services.

Why are you suggesting the idea?

 

[Mottie]

Oh mottie you are stupid.

Look at the question you quoted.

Now answer it.

You started a thread about tax payments to the Italian authorities. Have you changed tack halfway through?

 

[motorbiking]

Where do you think the money for the fire service and the NHS comes from?

You are accusing Mottie of being stupid. As a reminder, I said I'd jump in next time you were being stupid or misquoting something. If you are not aware there is no NHS in Italy, its called Servizio Sanitario Nazionale (SSN) its similar but not the same.

Accordingly it would be stupid to think short term let taxes due to be paid by Italian AirBnB hosts would some how fund the NHS. Now had you said Italian NHS or more correctly Servizio Sanitario Nazionale (SSN), you wouldn't be the one posting something that is stupid causing others to..

object to your stupidity.

 

[Mottie]

Perhaps superinvestor JohnD could put up a list of the companies or funds in his investment portfolio so that we could check out their propriety?

 

[motorbiking]

The funny thing is, this story has nothing to do with a tax avoidance scheme that airbnb may have been running.

 

[JohnD]

Accordingly it would be stupid to think short term let taxes due to be paid by Italian AirBnB hosts would some how fund the NHS. .

So why are you suggesting the idea?

 

[JohnD]

Unsurprisingly, mottie, you are mistaken. It is a thread about a multinational paying some tax. Check the title.

No, but I do approve of people paying tax.

 

[motorbiking]

wow.. hang on.. that will be a selective misquote there @JohnD... something else I said I'd pick you up on...

you actually said..

No, but I do approve of people paying tax.

Where do you think the money for the fire service and the NHS comes from?

Hence we are all a bit confused as to why you'd think Italian tourist and short term letting taxes will contribute to the NHS. Or perhaps you think AirBnB disapprove of people paying tax?

Hence we are all a bit confused

I'm not, I took it to mean that taxes fund public services. Which they do.

Why are you suggesting that I would?

 

[JohnD]

You are, of course, correct.

That will be because you are neither stupid, nor deliberately trying to misrepresent my words, like mottie and motorbiking.

 

[Bod ...]

JohnD and Nosey.

As in they are the same?

 

[motorbiking]

You are, of course, correct.

That will be because you are neither stupid, nor deliberately trying to misrepresent my words, like mottie and motorbiking.

ahh so when you said

No, but I do approve of people paying tax.

You were in no way suggesting that airBnB hadn't paid taxes due or somehow disapproved of people paying taxes, and when you said

Where do you think the money for the fire service and the NHS comes from?

You didn't mean NHS.

You seem rather confused.

 

[JohnD]

You seem rather confused.

No, not at all.

But you are (dishonestly pretending to be)
