Major EU governments shamed into crackdown on tax evasion

[Himaginn]

But it was in mine.

Like I said, I can't be responsible for what's in your mind when you read my comment, and misunderstand my comment!

I am sure it was in Noseall's mind when he asked the question to which you replied.
Your comment was therefore selective and incomplete.

Don't be ridiculous. I quoted noseall's comment in its entirety. it's only been you that has been snipping individual comments in isolation.

You will say I am incorrect in thinking this but, if that were the case, then about what is Noseall complaining?

Noseall was commenting on Cameron's use of his personal CGT allowance. Why would he refer to Cameron senior? There's no evidence of any wrongdoing.

Unless it is you who is mistaken.

You will notice in my comment, I referred to some of the mechanisms that I was considering. But you keep ignoring that part of my comment.
I'll repeat, yet again, for the third time, for your perusal.

Could be. Waddya think?
Maybe I'm just suggesting that tax avoidance should be available to ordinary PAYE individuals as well as the wealthy.
If it's good enough for Cameroon......

It is available to anyone who has a case or a cause to use it.
CGT, Personal Allowances, Opt out of tax paid on Savings Interest (if your gross annual is below Personal Allowance), Premium Bonds free of tax, Electric vehicles, etc. There's loads of tax avoidance built into the system.

The problem is, you were so keen to try to ridicule me, you lost all sense of reason and logic.

OK, I exaggerated a little, by about 1% in one of my examples.
The basic tenet still applies. Most people's homes are approaching the inheritance tax threshold.

Don't confuse an average (which has almost certainly been taken as a mean average) with the price of the majority of homes. If 19 households are £200,000 homes and one is a £1.5 million house, what's the mean average for those 20 homes?

I didn't introduce the term 'average'. So why ask me?
Is this a maths test?

To what does the 1% refer?

I suppose 'approaching' means no matter how far away they are, does it?

Stop being so cantankerous all the time.
The result of the sum will show you the error of your assertion.




If the average is 200,000, 280,000 or even 325,00 then this -

inheritance tax allowances is another example. £325,000 at current threshold. most people's homes are worth that, and more, these days.

cannot be true.

My exaggeration.

FFS It was an example of one tax allowance.
I exaggerated a bit to illustrate the issue. It's not a big problem. Is it?

I didn't introduce the term 'average'. So why ask me?

Stop being so cantankerous all the time.

Who cares which average it was. It was not my use of the expression. So why ask me?
Anyway, it's not a big issue. So why make it one?

cannot be true.

Does it matter. I was presenting an example of how one can utilise one's allowance to avoid tax.
I wasn't calculating someone's tax due!
Stop being so petty all the time.

Tiresome, isn't it?
