I saw that Plat but it didn't make much sense.
Said the @Royal Estates' invested offshore. Reality is that the Monarchy, going back to one of the Georges, hands over 85% of the income to the Treasury. So possible the country has been benefitting from tax avoidance. Be funny if true. |

I wonder if the BBC will asking their own staff if they avoid tax ?

Disgusting antics. Huge Labour vote winner.

By:
a little disingenuous this Panorama team. The expert isn't exactley explaining the laws. Some of the things these people are doing is perfectly legal. They need to tackle who makes the laws and why nothing is being done!

By:
Labour are part of the problem!
Why didn't they do anything about it when they were in power? Homes, Jobs /fair wages, a health Service, Education. That is all labour need to concentrate on. Don't penalise Companies by imposing huge tax hikes. Get them all to pay their fair share and reduce taxation for us all! What is a Trust? Why is it needed? Why are they of no use to ordinary people? Stop this abuse and penalise these tax dodgers like drug dealers. they can have their assets frozen, why not These tax evaders? |
|
By:
I wish i could pay 3.7% tax.
It maybe just about legal by laws set up for the rich but it isnt at all ethical, how can someone who get paid by the bbc (the british taxpayer) think it is ok not to pay their fair amount of tax ? |
|
By:
this clown doesn't seem to understand that exploiting tax loopholes is not illegal
wheres claiming to be a non-dom while living in UK is tax dodging |
|
By:
what would you do Sonka if your tax adviser told you it was legal?
I would do the same I am sure! the laws are wrong and the people who frame them! |
|
By:
absolutely H
The other thing about the loan back is firstly the tax man doesn't know about the arrangement.......if the tax payer doesn't tell him. But I see that it can be construed as evasion and they should act on these Paradise Papers. The EU should also nail the likes of Apple! We maybe need to charge them up front or find a way to charge them for doing business in our country. If they dont want to contribute to our society then they should not benefit. |

Lay Lewis Hamilton for SPOTY

result
Lewis will have to pay back the Vat on his jet! Dont blame him for not but now he will have to pay one hopes! |
|
By:
If i worked for the bbc and was being paid much more than i am worth i think i would just accept the tax bill, Bit different for Lewis H who is so rich and being paid his market value he is going to be advised well.
I find it strange how governments accept these tax havens that take tax money away, i know it is legal under poor tax laws but it isnt right. |

True Sonko
Again i say Labour are being presented with an open goal here and they will miss by a mile. All they have to say is that we will close these loopholes for the rich and priviledged but they won't Again the BBC h is saying the Queen should apologise for investing money offshore...IT IS NOT ILLEGAL FFS but they pay people ofshore which is coluding in a tax fraud! Ignorance should not be an excuse |

By:
How many on here have transferred shares into their spouses name before selling them to avoid paying tax?
|
|
By:
Setting corporation tax and inheritance tax at the optimal level of 0 will solve all this shenanigans.
It would also put half the law firms, accountants and tax planners in these so-called havens out of business, the whole industry will have to drop their fees and it will be cheaper for start ups to hire good accountants and raise capital. But no-one will ever be permitted to say this on the BBC, because they only believe in solutions that involve moar government. |
|
By:
Thinking about this situation in terms of political parties and even countries is futile, this is the not so secret economy of the truly wealthy and powerful, the 'loopholes' are laws designed to keep them getting richer and the peasants poorer. To think this will get stopped because of some 'leaked' details is pie in the sky.

I'm not calling it dodgy , but you only have to land your plane once,isle of man to avoid £3mill tax Hamilton hold my beer |

So much sanctomonious craaap spouted.
The richest 10% pay about 75% of all the taxes in this country - is that fair? Is if bolllox. If I was rich enough to fall into the bracket were over 50% of my income was to be paid to the government I would move heaven and earth to avoid paying every penny. Is there any evidence that any government spends a rich persons tax more wisely than if you just left that money with the rich person? I would suggest the 2nd option would probably help the economy which in turn helps the `poor' and `rich'. |

Quite right, alpha.
No-one can stop them, they make the rules...Or pay someone else to. |

While capitalism is the system used to provide wealth for the UK, the company tax laws will remain little changed.
And the BBC who surely have experts to advise them in the facts of the matter, will continue to make programmes designed to infuriate people rather than educate them. |
|
By:
Again I reiterate this is an open goal for Labour and they will miss it by a mile. They should insists they will pass a law that if monies have been squirrelled away in illegal ways and not been reported to HMRC they will incur heavy penalties on discovery.
They take property of drud dealers why should they not do the same to these people who do not pay their fair share? |

actually its 2 per cent that own 98 per cent of the wealth and its getting worse, got to say that bono is a two faced cooont though
