And if our owners were or had avoided tax you would not have an issue with it?
As they are foreign residents neither KT are liable for tax in the UK. Personally I couldn’t give a sh1t if the IRS or the UAE equivalent get their money or not.

For the sake of clarity tax avoidance is the art of creative accounting where loop holes are found in the tax laws to avoid paying tax. Tax evasion is breaking existing tax laws to avoid paying tax. The name of the game being, the HMRC close the loop hole and clever clogs accountants find another one, at least it was. New tax laws in effect slammed the door shut on all this because it allowed th HMRC to close the loop hole and then apply the rules retrospectively allowing them to tax the persons or companies who used the loophole. Tax avoidance is over for UK residents and has been in OZ since long before I got here. I’ll give you an example of one though. Your company places a bet on your behalf on the stock market to go up in value at virtually even money. It then places a bet on the stock market to go down in value at even money over the same period. You end up with exactly the same money so what’s the point? Well to combat offshore gambling the government made gambling proceeds tax free, so the winnings from the stock market bet are not subject to tax, ta-da. It’s slightly more complicated than that, but that was just one example. Completely legal and above board and was untouchable as far as the HMRC were concerned, although totally morally corrupt. You’ll be delighted to know that following the legislation everyone who did it had to pay the tax back. Just so everyone is aware, most of the main tax authorities such as those in Australia and the UK have an open book policy, so had I have done this I would have been caught over here and been slaughtered. Therefore this idea that you can shift money around the globe and get away with it is completel b0ll0cks, trust me I know. The only organisation’s who had the muscle to pull that off were the likes of Amazon and Microsoft and the door has been virtually closed on them as well now. That was boring wasn’t it.

There are many many ways to avoid paying tax, personally I pay mine because I believe that high net worth individuals should help fund the social system, there isn’t enough investment in social care, mental health the list goes on. If your comfortable in shell companies in BVI then good for you but one day life has a way of levelling things up from the takers.

We have been through this before with you. It's called tax avoidance. Which is perfectly legal if not morally correct.
Is it the royal we or are you speaking on behalf of the club? BTW tax avoidance is only legal until you get caught, Wayne Rooney and Lineker, how ingenious.

For the sake of balance Manny there are business owners I know of who have been brought to their knees by the HMRC and government behaving in morally corrupt ways. And I’m talking about throughly decent people who have always conducted themselves impeccably, not these c***s who take the p1ss, it’s far from a one way street. On a separate note despite operating in 2 countries and having 2 sets of accountants between us we haven’t the first clue about how to avoid paying tax.

That’s because you are asking accountants.

Do you need to use two sets of accountants ? Usually better to use a multi-national firm to keep all your data under the same roof. Make sure you keep a close eye on their fees - get something agreed in advance.

Bit complicated but we prefer the personal touch from specialist locals. The larger organisations tend to go through a lot of staff and it makes it difficult to build relationships. Also the standards and response times varied considerably in our experience. Fcuk me we are off on a tangent.

I may have been lucky but I found dealing with Tax Inspectors directly rather than through a firm of Chartered Accountants was easier, cheaper, quicker and often got a better result. Just use the Accountants to audit your draft published accounts and draft tax computations and keep a close eye on any adjustments they propose and why.

100% agree and if more high net earners and corporations took that view the world would be a better place.

Lets not be too sanctimonious. There is still plenty of cash in hand, casual work, tips that go undeclared.

Ah the champagne socialist. If your own regular nods and winks are to be believed, Manny, you're doing very nicely. Perhaps you could get by with a little less and direct some of your vast estate to the very worthy causes you mention above? I'm not saying that I think you should, but simply paying the taxes you owe is nothing to be proud of. Maybe you could spend some of the many hours you currently devote to winding people up on here doing some volunteering? We're all Mother Theresa until someone needs their arse wiping.

I'm ok with that because you are typically talking about grafters earning lower wages - its the greedy f***ers, top earners and obscenely profitable corporations that don't pay their way - like MW I've been fairly fortunate in my life and I personally think its the right thing to do and nothing to with being sanctimonious or a champagne socialist - although I think MW might have spat out his coffee with that description of him

...although I think MW might have spat out his coffee with that description of him I'm sure you're right! That comment was aimed at the post - I don't know anything about Manny personally (other than he's very rich )

If anyone wants to help a middle earning PAYE in the high tax bracket improve their net income by legitimate means I’m all ears I think I’ve rinsed it by every means available. You cash in hand and self employed folks have it easy!
