I get the impression you're not a fan of justice for the poor or the dispossessed.

I’m a fan of not chasing wealthy tax payers away leaving others to pick up the bill. I do understand that those who don’t pay much don’t have the same concern.

The rich will leave if you over tax them.

There are numerous countries with more beneficial tax regimes for the rich. Why haven't they left before now?

Mad odd ball racist Kimi did alse very sleazy Bob.

Kimi echo's previous comments on immigrants and reckons Muslims are bad news.

Sleazy Bob - should fit in well with favour givers if any are left. Eg Great example
On 14 January 2020, Jenrick approved a £1 billion luxury housing development of 1,500 homes on Westferry Road, Isle of Dogs, proposed by Richard Desmond, a Conservative Party donor and owner of Northern & Shell. A Government planning inspector had advised against permitting the scheme, as it would not deliver enough affordable housing and as the height of the tower would be detrimental to the character of the area.[48]

Jenrick approved the scheme on 14 January knowing that an approval by that date would enable Desmond to avoid having to pay a council-imposed infrastructure levy of between £30 and £50 million, which could have been used for funding schools and health clinics.

I guess there are no wealthy people in Sweden or Norway or Denmark then

I guess you don’t understand their tax regime.

You're a fan of giving the rich an easier ride than the rest of us.

None of our lot will be off to D.mark - highest tax rate in the EU, apparently...also, one of the best health care and welfare systems in the world. Go figure.

Perhaps the most extreme change to CG would be to align it with income tax. - For some? If you look at the City profit is CG. Say shares, futures and currency inc banking. You can see what can be played with here. Use total revenue to get the lot.

Where does the government get its money? | Institute for Fiscal Studies

The Government raises around £1 trillion in revenue each year. Most comes from the three biggest taxes: income tax, NICs and VAT.

The other option is cuts in spending or shift sector spending around. Spending reviews in other words.

 

[noseall]

you mean 10s of wealthy people leaving

That'll be Mone and her chums on a taxpayer funded jolly

I guess you don’t understand their tax regime.

Do you? There are distinct differences. Also variations eg Denmark - pay for overnight stays in hospitals. Not a lot.

Sounds like it may be a safe and decent country.

There is nothing more ludicrous than motorbiking's silly assertion than receiving a multi-million inheritance makes a person poorer.

Think of the choice

Receiving a multi million inheritance but having to pay tax on it.

Or not receive it and not pay any tax.

I wonder who is likely to be better off.

ad hominem

every post you make is a logical fallacy...........I suppose thats what lawyers do: be dishonest

 

[JohnD]

We have no evidence that motorbiking is actually a lawyer.

His use of false stories and pretences that UK law says something it does not suggests otherwise.
