"Tax dodging by rich could be ‘much greater than thought’, says UK audit office"

[Deleted member 323070]

we both know that this is not your name.

I have only ever had one username on this site. I'm more than happy to engage with you if you stop all the silliness. Stick to one username, tone down the racial hatred and we'll get along fine.

My name is Tom. What's your name?
Or are you going to continue with these silly accusations of yours?

Or is this your excuse to exit the discussion?

I'm stil waiting for any examples of me posting racial hatred comments.
I won't hold my breath. You've already amply demonstrated your deceitful and abusive behaviour.

Congratulations, you've succeeded in diverting the discussion.

So what’s wrong with that - are they to blame for using the rules that are in place? Sounds like it more a case of the OP who….

Yawn. So come on JohnD, for the umpteenth time, what is your definition of 'tax dodging'? You never have answered that question when complaining about 'tax dodgers'. Is it tax evasion or tax avoidance and before you answer, remember the avoidance rules you enjoy, albeit on a much, much smaller scale than the 'big boys'.

You're beginning to remind me of a journalist stood across the street outside #10, shouting questions at the PM whenever he steps outside.

A bit like the 70s when pop stars like Rod Stewart cleared off to the USA to avoid paying taxes back home.
How much do millionaires contribute in tax anyway, the really smart ones keep their money offshore to avoid tax.
At the bottom end, the so called cash in hand economy operates differently, those involved may evade direct taxes but they still pay indirect taxes when they spend their cash in the boozer, buy cigarettes and fuel ect. so in effect they are helping the local economy.

The Columbian local economy.

The information is available. The top 1% pay around 1/3rd. The top 10% 2/3rds.

The top earners are low hanging fruit. Those working cash are much harder to police and they are in the millions.

Yeah, he mouths off and then clams up when asked for detail too.

Where do you thickos think the extra money is going to come from for public services as millionaires are leaving the UK in massive numbers..

The billionaires are welcome to **** off, its their businesse that will be taxed, and their personal wealth if they set foot in tne uk. Youll soon see them return. The notion that tax dodging should be under enforced because otherwise businesses will leave is a crack pot tax policy.

I never bought that, his career was in the USA.

Mind you...

King Charles’s personal fortune increased to £640m* in the past year [and] is now estimated to be worth considerably more than the late Queen Elizabeth II, whose wealth was estimated at £370m in 2022., making him as wealthy as the former prime minister Rishi Sunak and his wife, Akshata Murty, according to the Sunday Times rich list.

*However, an investigation by the Guardian in 2023 estimated that King Charles’s fortune could be almost £2bn. That includes cars, rare stamps, property, investments, horses, jewellery, art and a hereditary estate.

Republicans will be gnashing their teeth at that.

Which illustrates the great divide between the rich and the not rich.

It’s not just that the rich are leaving. Because of this government, they aren’t coming in the first place.

"We are also finding fewer of the world's super rich are coming to live in the UK."

He said he was "struck by the strength of criticism for Rachel Reeves's Treasury" when speaking to wealthy individuals for the publication.

Must be why the local carvery has been quiet lately
