Look at Mottie and Motorbiking upset at the mention we should go after the majore tax dodgers.

Why?

I thought motor biking was saying paying out more money than you get in was counter productive.

 

[SirGalahad]

nonsense - you just have to justify the cost.

66,000 employees. lets say you add another 10,000. How much extra revenue will they bring in?

and lets not confuse illegal tax evasion with legal tax avoidance.

Have to justify the cost?

Well lets start them off with investigating every single Covid Bank Loan and Covid contract. Oh don't want to go there?

Without any evidence - using his logic you might as well stop policing, how do we know more police officers will reduce crime?

Just stop training drs and nurses.

What bit of legal teams employed in reducing their clients tax bill don't you understand.

 

[gant]

Who?

That's for you to use your imagination.

 

[SirGalahad]

You can never provide an answer can you.

I don't mind where you go. Just justify the argument that investing more in HMRC would result in a return for the tax payer.

If you don't know, thats fine, if its a gut feel that it would that is fine.

 

[SirGalahad]

So if you can afford to tax dodge its ok.

You really are a well trained dog. If I need a security pet I will get one in your likeness.

Do you not understand corporate companies run rings round governments, even your beloved EU has trouble laying a glove on them.

 

[SirGalahad]

Do you not understand corporate companies run rings round governments, even your beloved EU has trouble laying a glove on them.

So you admit that they are under resourced. They run rings round them because the companies are better resourced.

I don't mind where you go. Just justify the argument that investing more in HMRC would result in a return for the tax payer.

If you don't know, thats fine, if its a gut feel that it would that is fine.

More staff to carry out compliance checks and inquiries.

The return to the HMRC will be twofold in increase tax take and improved compliance.

 

[motorbiking]

How many more? and how much do they collect already through enforcing compliance?

You have to look at them as is if they were sales reps, doubling your sales force doesn't mean you will sell twice as much product.

Think it's beyond his ken to understand that.
