 That's what I don't understand.
	That's what I don't understand.The company claim it is all legal and that HMRC are aware of it, but surely it must require investigating. How can a loan that you are never required to pay back be legally considered a loan?
If it is legal, then frankly the villain here is the government not shutting it down, rather than Jimmy Carr for taking advantage. That said, it's still morally repugnant, just legally morally repugnant.
(Yes, my view have moved on since this was discussed on Tuesday, when I read some more and realised both the extent and workings of it).

 Have you any idea of the complexity of the UK tax rules? Which have doubled since Brown was at the Treasury.
	Have you any idea of the complexity of the UK tax rules? Which have doubled since Brown was at the Treasury.The 'loan' can be recalled at any point, and is therefore a 'loan' as far as the current tax rules are concerned.

 No, I don't.
	No, I don't.I'm going on what the company itself said in it's defence. And if that's the best they can come up with, it's pretty shoddy.
That said,I did say it needs investigating, I didn't say it was true. And I did say it's the goverment's fault for allowing it. If it was caused by Brown's changing of the tax rules in the first place then it's just another thing that is his fault too. But he can't change it now, the current treasury can.
And regardless of complexity, it's morally disgusting to earn £3 million in a year and pay 1% tax. No matter who is at fault.
Still wuvs ya, Roarster.
