Just watched Panorama and was surprised to learn that the main player is one of my customers!!!!! If I had known I would have stuck another 100 quid on!

The government has the cheek to expect us working class to pay our tax while the rich don`t. And when the rich banks collapse we must bail them out.Even the cabinet ministers in parliament don`t pay on money earned in our country. It`s offshore, it's legal they say. |But moral it`s not as we can not do the same. Most y rich person is involved. The financial investment advisers help them screw us.

[Soupy]

The most pointless 'scandal' ever. None of these people have done anything wrong. Naming them is pointless.

Name the charlatans within the government and HMRC who have allowed these loopholes to exist and in many cases advised the rich how to exploit them.

Exactly- the rich have been using legal ways to pay less tax . If it’s legal then good for them, I’d do the same if I was super rich too .... and one day I will be 

[robert mitchell]

They may be doing things to the letter of the law but not in the spirit of the law , its immoral failing to pay tax that they know they rightly owe .

Those loop holes don't get there by accident.

[PHILIP HARDY]

These avoiders are taking money off every single one of us, The education and Health systems are ridiculessly underfunded compared with many of our international rivals, as for many years, we have put the persuit of money and profit, in front of the future, it now comes to the point where lives are being shortened and the next generation will not be educated well enough to find a solution, we have been failed by politicians for many ,many years.

[Slacky]

That’s all very true.

Not the tax avoider's fault. They have broken no laws.

It's utterly ridiculous, the government is responsible for setting the laws, no one else, the blame lies entirely with them. If the government came out tomorrow and said 'if you clean windows you don't have to pay any tax', every single one of us would stop paying tax, regardless if we consider it morally correct or not.

It’s still their fault , you close one loophole then another one is found .

Louis Hamilton’s private jet is a prime example , using shell companies where one of his  company’s buys the jet , they lease it to another shell company who then lease it to Hamilton, he knows he is cheating the system .

[Dry Clean]

I'm just thankful my name wasn't mentioned, luckily enough the Queen God bless her took the flak away from me.

Don't be daft, he'll have no idea, same as most of these people. The schemes are set up by accountants, usually former HMRC employees, and are really complicated.

Hamilton will have been asked, do you want to avoid £xxMillion in tax. Asked that question there is only one reply that, if you're honest, you'd give: Is it legal?

It's like leaving the stable door open and blaming the horse for running away.

It's only difficult because they make it difficult.

The media can report tax avoiders all day long and we can all be outraged and repulsed at their lack of moral fibre, but it achieves nothing. Do you think we're going to shame them into paying tax they are not legally required to pay? Seems unlikely to me, one or two, maybe, but then what's that? A tax on morals? To me, that seems worse.

The problem is systemic. Until the government sort the system and make it fair, people with the resources and opportunity to exploit it, will exploit it.

Almost totally agree. We all act in the most tax efficient means we can. We share our tax benefits with partners, we go limited and pay dividends, pension contributions etc.  The difference here is that those that make the laws seem to do so in a way that benefits big business and often the friends of the law makers. So it is a "cozy"  arrangement. Then they demonise the single mum that can barely feed her children.

David Mitchell puts it better than me.

Apparently not; he signed saying it was being used for business purposes only and then took it on holiday to Hawaii.

HMRC is investigating him according to Question Time.

They showed the form on the program , he put i think it was an 85/15 split on business /private use .......usage is more like the other way round but even if his split was correct he should still have payed vat on 15% of the purchase price but payed nothing .
