Farewell Sir Ken Dodd

[Destination]

Well, that's for you to say, £11 Million would be better used in the public purse don't you think ?

Tax dodgers are not only sticking two fingers up to the Taxman they are sticking two fingers up to you, the brainless sucker who pays tax.

He's not dodging tax, your wife doesn't pay inheritance, when she dies, her estate will pay it, or she'll have spent it all.
Either way it'll go into the economy.

Unless his widow goes on a massive spending spree it will probably still get taxed under IHT eventually anyway. Normally it's just a deferral of the tax.

 

[Roland Butter]

he already paid tax on it when he earned it.

That's the problem, he didn't, he always got paid in cash and at the time of his trial for tax evasion he had £300k in suitcases, he avoided
paying tax all his life.

He's a comedy legend, but let's not forget his stinginess, his love of money, and greed in amassing huge amounts of money
yet never spending any , he stayed in the same house all his life.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Good on him I say.

 

[Uther]

I wouldn't want to give these ******* a penny when I die so fair play to him.

 

[LabR@t]

Did his dog die?

If he had paid IHT, it would have been just over £11m from a £27m fortune.

In 2016, Amazon paid £15m tax on revenues of £16.5bn. Now that’s dodging!

No, that’s misrepresenting UK taxation.

Or you know using the UK's own rules to pay tax... just like Mr Dodd did.

The government can legislate at any time to force the likes of Jersey to stop being havens or to make it so tax is paid irrespective of residence.

 

[Dirk Diggler]

thanks Ken, after all them years of good health you've finally committed yourself to me
when you only have a few days left to live, what girl could refuse such a romantic proposal ? "

The sort of girl that fancies another few million to spend on lipstick and cucumbers?

For £27m, I’d have married him!

And we know why they won't do that. Because the higher up's in society are all evading tax too, or using the system.
