Jimmy Carr overcome by grief

Whilst we have to suffer the spineless, greedy, out-of-touch hypocrites who only listen to the needs of Bankers, Corporations and owners of Mass Media that 'run' this Country, then it should be the Public Duty of every single citizen to avoid paying as much Tax as possible.

BANKER BINGO !!!!!!
 
It does make me chuckle - morality.

The MP's for nearly 2 years hid behind the "it's within the rules" argument whilst claiming every allowance they could get hold of and guess what little has changed - they claim the same but just provide reciepts and a justification, have the tax payers seen any savings from the 645 scroungers we vote for.

The cabinet is full of multi-millionaires how is that representative of the electorate ? I bet they are paying full PAYE for the salaries they get for being MP's how about their business dealings - I bet that they are paid through holding companies and you can guess the rest.

I feel sorry for Jimmy Carr, his accountant provided him with an approach to avoid tax legally and he signed up to it - good on him, I would do the same.

According to the Exchequer Tax Aviodance is costing us £68bn per annum, you can't stick that at Jimmy's door, put your pitchforks and torches away.
 
[And it is for this kind of reason that I am delighted to hear that you claim that you will never have spawn to perpetuate your smug, self-satisfied, selfish genes ;)

But it saddens me that you probably will, and will happily sit there taking child benefit, tax credits, and using all of the other wonderful resources paid for by taxes paid by large corporations and high earners whilst teaching your own urchin offspring the same ridiculous values and anti-establishment morals which are only serving to drive this country into a pit of self loathing ineptitude.

Instead of bashing the rich for being better at what they do than you are, why don't you get off your filthy left wing hippy backside, get a wash and start earning some money so you can donate it all to our panoptic welfare system by way of tax.
 
A lot of people who are avoiding tax like this are doing it through accountants, and those accountants wouldn't be doing their job if they didn't let their clients know of every LEGAL way to reduce their tax. If the government is so against tax avoidance like this, make it illegal, until then they need to stop complaining.
 
Oh and there's not a single working person here who wouldn't pay less taxes if they could.

You bet your life they would, me included, although since most employed people pay tax through PAYE, they can't.

Where do bankers bonuses and fat cat salaries lie on the scale of monetary outrage btw? Do those turning a blind eye to tax dodging automatically shrug their shoulders at the above as well, purely because it is legal, just asking.

This line of reasoning is crazy. He's paid the amount of tax he was required to.

We can't be angry at him for not paying more unless we believe government taxation levels should be higher for everyone. Put your petty jealousy aside, there's no moral argument here.

really? so someone earning millions a year pays less than 1% tax and you guys are ok with that?

im actually quite shocked.

i pay my taxes why shouldnt he? these loopholes must be closed. everyone must pay their share (although it seems obvious the rich with decent lawyers can pay less than the rest of us)

there is a moral argument for everyone to contribute to society. the fact the super rich can not pay and expect the 'plebs' to pay their share, to me, seems very immoral.
 
Why is this the front page of the bbc website on a day that all the doctors are striking for the first time in 40 years.....
It's pathetic, and Jimmy has done nothing wrong. And Camerons father was one of the first people to avail of this type of tax relief way back in the maggie days, he needs to get of his high horse.
 
What??

Hes not in public office, he hasn't done anything wrong how can he not continue? :rolleyes:


Oh and lolstockhausen another stupid thread. I know people I used to work with on 40-50k who were on tax avoidance schemes etc, most everyone with a brain is at it should we all be morally lambasted too? People ate too stupid to sort it got themselves so instead blame others from jealousy.

im guessing he was on about the hypocrisy of JC banging on about tax avoidance then found doing it himself. he has made many jokes about people yet has done it himself.
 
does it matter how much tax you avoid as long as you spend the money in the UK?

If I earn 100k and pay no tax but spend all 100k in the UK then thats ok for hte economy? - money stays in the country

if I earn 30k (and pay tax) but send half of it to my family in x y or z country thats bad for the economy? - money leaves the country

or is that totally wrong thinking?

not really wrong but do you seriously he spends all his cash in this country? he is stashing it abroad, where it doesnt help a single person here.

the fact is many of us are paying more tax because the super rich pay next to nothing.

its not like JC will **** off abroad since he had his money predominantly from the british.

these loop holes need to be closed. everyone should pay their fair share. if everyone did then maybe all of us would end up paying less.
