It used to be a great paper.
Its 'hard' news coverage, reportage of stuff that was actually happening, in the Gradgrindian sense, was unrivalled by absolutely no one. Ok, you never liked the editorial, comment or opinion stuff. Fair enough. But they used to never confuse reportage with editorialising. Now it is utter toilet. Thin, weak and feeble. This has happened in the last four to five years. It's a tragedy for British media. I used to buy it literally daily. I can count on two hands the number of times I've bought it in the last two years. But pissflaps likes the cricket coverage.

What I resent about it is he is being very disingenuous and dishonest about it. He says that he paid tax on what he inherited and that's that. But the fact remains he went out of his way to make an arrangement that significantly reduced the amount of tax he was liable for. The guardian even found an accountant from KPMG or PWC or one of the big five to write an article to say that probably didn't save any money. All bollocks. Why pay an accountant and a lawyer to make the arrangement then? What's the point of that? Why not just let probate take its course? Boris Johnson made public his tax returns when Ken Livingstone suggested he was a tax dodger, Ed Milliband should publish his.

"Who on earth wants to pay as much tax as possible?"
Probably not the right time to mention that I personally make what would be on a global scale considered to be a lot of money. I went to a tax planning seminar once (it was at a business meeting I was attending anyway) and this chap was going through all the mechanisms available to save paying tax. I pointed out that I felt that paying my dues to society was what a true citizen should do; I thought I was going to be lynched as a pinko troublemaker!
A harsher analysis by some like minded colleagues determined that up to 50% most of us would be happy to pay up, but once more than half of what you work for goes to the state, most high earners begin to feel resentful.
The interesting thing is that at either end of the earnings spectrum the same argument ensues, which revolves around 'to each according to his need, from each according to his ability'. Many look at avoiders and evaders at the top and think they are sponging off society, many also look at 'benefit scroungers' and think the same thing.
There may therefore be people across the whole spectrum who take offence at people who have a sense of entitlement from society, without a sense of responsibility to look after it.

It would be much easier if everything was laid open without holes for people to hide their trinkets and gold coins in, so we could either agree with it or disagree with our contributions for the welfare of the whole herd.

Jahled Three shades of black, Sat 21 Feb 2015, 12:20,

A sense of entitlement does seem pretty universal.
People don't get paid according to how useful their work is to society, and it's certainly not a meritocracy. However, few people would admit that they don't deserve all their stuff or that their work is ultimately selfish.
Presumably that mentality goes all the way to the top.
At least there can be some logic to taxation. There seems to be very little to wages.
(
monkeon schmonkeon, Sat 21 Feb 2015, 12:55,

On the contrary, there is a very simple logic to wages: charge what people will pay.
Unfortunately this only counts if someone else is paying you. If you are deciding for yourself what you should be paid, the sky is indeed no longer the limit.
Chief execs get together and form pay committees to decide what they are worth, then as another round of senior exec pay excess occurs, the rot spreads to the state sector where execs start talking about 'comparable salaries' and we end up with town council leaders, NHS managers, civil servants being paid the same as private sector chiefs.
The ultimate though are the people who literally print money. The banking sector no longer lends out what it has, it lends out for interest about 10 times or more than what it has - they are literally making money and paying each other ridiculous bonuses to lend the money out, then charging fees for arranging of lending out money they don't have in the first place, topped off by a bonus for thinking it all up.

The point is not so much legality as morality
A 'loop hole' tax avoidance scheme means that a person or business has dodged paying tax that the government intended that they should pay, by using a tax rule for a purpose that it was not intended. Quite legal it is true, but still cheating. Legal cheating but cheating nonetheless.

All the loopholes were put in the tax laws deliberately by the polititions etc to benefit their pals.....not supposed to be used by the others.
It's like all the software flaws are put there deliberately to allow govt intrusions .....not meant to be used by hackers.
"Security updates " do 2 jobs, 1) plug the flaw being used by hackers and 2) open up a brand new flaw for govt intrusions

Seriously?
Tax law is ferociously complicated and corporate tax law is complexity squared. Add to that the fact that the resources of tax dodgers are far in excess of what is available to the legislators, it comes as no surprise that loopholes can always be found. Were the loopholes put there intentionally? It is a bit like Bertrand Russell's teapot, there is no way of disproving it, however it is somewhat unlikely. Government departments are disorganised and dysfunctional and at best they struggle to perform the tasks they are allocated, adding some tinfoil hat hidden agenda conspiracy would be utterly impractical.

You sound like Milliband's spokesperson.
That's another one of the lies spouted around this subject. A deed of variation is the perfect example of what utter bullshit that is. All you need is to own a property and write a will and you can have the beneficiaries of your will dodge tax too.

Ok, point taken
but property ownership doesn't make someone super rich. I own a flat in London and I don't really have a pot to piss in. If I'd stuck to renting I'd have a better car, nicer clothes and just more clothes, and I'd be much better travelled, but it seemed like the right thing to do at the time.

no but you'd get some old bitch come to inspect the property every 3 months
and moan at you for committing the heinous crime of putting up a poster using Blu Tac!
My mortgage repayments are cheaper than if I rented a property of a similar size. In fact I'd be lucky to afford flat in one of the more "entertaining" areas of my town

Never had someone give you a better price for a job for cash?
You reckon they're going to pay tax on that?

Always found something darkly amusing in Burnside's defence of the murder he commited:
"I didn't mean to kill nobody. I just meant to shoot the sonofabitch in the head and two times in the chest. Him dying was between him and the Lord."
