Tax exemptions are a precondition of the Olympics and certain other world events no matter where they are hosted.
Come on buddy, You are non-dom aren't you? You had better not been bringing in offshore income from Mother Russia. I heard HMRC gives a reward for reporting tax evaders.
Do you feel any friendlier to a 101% tax rate than those of us who haven't set foot in the kingdom? Or is Houl just barking up the wrong tree?
you don't think we should comment on taxation schemes and the taxation of public figures and countries ... because what... we are so pedestrian we have never been on a plane? are you kidding me. Thinking people must question govt
It's not your money. Just because you maliciously exploited somebody and have temporary possession of it gives you no rights to it's use.:eek:
Shockingly, we do... And when I say we, I am including "athletes" like John Terry, who gets paid 150,000 quid a week. Nah, my friend, I ain't non-dom... I pay 50%, no gimmicks. Good stuff... I hope it was as good for you as it was for us Brits.
Comment away, my indignant friend... I hasten to point out that I never suggested that you should be quiet on this (or any other) subject. Nor did I suggest that people here were so "pedestrian", as you put it, as to never have been on a plane. You're over-generalizing rather enthusiastically here. My point was solely about the quality of the commentary. IMHO, that's due to the propensity of some people to trivialize the issues in question so that they can be easily made consistent with their preconceptions and biases. Facts and reality are the unfortunate victims of the above process.
