Should billionaires and multinationals pay fair tax?

Waffle, complete waffle.

true, actually.

suppose you have a car

you use it for driving about in.

does it drive better, or worse, if the price of second-hand cars goes up or down?

Mate did something similar. Was going to put a house he owned which had just become empty at the agents valuation; tried to be helpful to a couple of local kids so heavily discounted the property for them. They said they wanted to stay in the village and were planning their future around that. Mate also spent money cleaning, decorating and replaced a carpet. He knocked 30% off the agents price.

3 Months later they put the house back on the market above the valuation mates agent had valued it and sold it in days. They have gone to live in a town and he feels cheated and really let down - even more so as the Tax Man is questioning why he sold below market value.

And will be going after him to pay tax on the difference

But it’s irrelevant according to leftinonics

Another fiction by motorbiking.

Did he make it up, or did he read it in a press release that he made up?

Let’s look at this car. Is its depreciation rate related to its cost of ownership? For many it’s hugely important.

Do you understand why? Hopefully you do.

I don't know any of these people you mention. If you ever meet one, ask him or her.

It is false to say that every renter is "trapped" or "forced" for some it is a lifestyle choice. And the attack on private landlords needs to stop - they provide a vital roll in supplying decent safe homes. The Marxists on here do not want private landlords but if they are all forced to see up you are likely to see housing associations jump in and take over - who have a very bad reputation in looking after their houses, Rochdale Boroughwide Housing anyone ?

Any examples of anyone on here saying that?

Wrong.

Nothing wrong with private landlords.

But ! They should be in addition to council housing, not a high profit replacement.

Everything isn't a binary choice like the right wing try to espouse

Waffle, complete waffle.

Why is it.

Try and explain to yourself, and then to the rest of us

 

[carmanmemoranda]

The landlord-tenant business model has been in place since the 16th century.
Believe it or not, some people prefer to rent from the private rental sector e.g. it maybe suits their lifestyle better.
43% of landlords own 1 property, 39% 2-4 and 18% 5+. So the high majority aren't raking it in.
It's a business, not a charity.
Assuming a landlord is registered and doing everything above board, the state of play is (in Scotland) heavily slanted in favour of tenants, with England slowly becoming the same. I would have thought parity was fairer, apparently not.
Rents have not increased exponentially everywhere.
If the private rental sector was banned altogether, as the lefty unwashed would like to see, what do people do that want or need to rent?

Who, exactly, is asking for the private rental market to be banned?

Go on, find 1 single post that says that. How long do you need to find 1? I will give you a week, should find it easy by then.

Unless of course its just in your mind

Do you know anyone who thinks it's disgusting, absolutely disgusting, that top footballers can earn hundreds of thousands a week?

Yes.

If you ever meet anyone who says so, take it up with them. It is irrelevant to this thread.

It's easy to knock arguments down when you make them up yourself.

Let’s look at this car.

So the answer to my question was "no."

So the answer to my question was "no."

He asked a different question to himself and answered it.

There's a few on here doing it
