New ?77m funding for HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) in this Spending Review period to expand their anti-avoidance and evasion activity, specifically those focusing on offshore evasion and avoidance by wealthy individuals and by multinationals. This is expected to bring in an additional ?2bn per year in tax that would have otherwise gone unpaid

populist window dressing in the wake of Jimmy Carr.


In Zug, when you setup, it is possible to negotiate how much tax in exact terms, not % , you will pay before the business is running and cashflows are generated.


Whilst the nazi gold hoarding Swiss stop pulling rabbits like this out of their hat, this legitimate, if unsavoury, practice will continue.

Quids I like your idea of emailing Amazon.


I've already used their search to get the goods I want, but searched the names of the sellers online to buy them directly.


Amazon can kiss my backside. They won't get another penny from me.


I've uninstalled Google Chrome too and gone back to Firefox. Chrome is better and Google have all kinds of other stuff to link up, but I'm going to check out alternatives. I know Yahoo do an upload docs thing and they have a calender, so I might move to them. Need to see if they are any better than Google though.


Does anyone know a search engine that comes close to being as good as Google?

Ok, I've sent this to Amazon:


"FAO the CEO of Amazon,


I have used Amazon for many years, but I will not give you another penny of my hard earned money until you pay corporation tax in the UK on the money you make here.


I will use your search facility to locate private UK registered sellers then find their online website to buy from them directly.


I hope that you rethink your immoral tax practices, or lose a huge amount of business here, because all of our services are being cut, while big corporations like you, drain money out of our country.


Amanda"



If anyone wants to complain too, here is the email link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/contact-us?ie=UTF8&browse_node_id=

You don't understand. It's romantic, not seedy.


Two people meet in the virtual world and initially hate eachother, but over time, their feelings for eachother grow and they can't keep their emotions inside.


Reality keeps on getting in the way of their budding romance, but they know they are destined to be together.


Except you've gone and spoilt it all now!

Ok, changed my search engine and calender to Yahoo from Google, plus added dropbox to dispense with Google Drive.


A bit more of a pain but not that much more. I just hope I don't get lost or have to speak German any time soon.


Also please Yahoo and Dropbox, pay your taxes!

So only: Boots, Apple, Vodaphone, ebay, Ikea, Cadbury, Johnnie Walker, Caffe Nero and Zavvi to go then...


(come on we've all been bombarded by the '38 Degrees' 12-tax-dodgers-of-Xmas poster - particularly hard to avoid Cadbury during this festive time tho' eh?)


ETA: x-posted with your new thread re the above.

      I completely agree with you . Its as if they have their foot in the door and are just pushing and pushing. It's ridiculous. It's not the right space. they clearly do not give any regard to the environment or they would move it.

      Ideas for week night activities for 14 year old boys

      There's a great badminton club at the Harris girls academy. It runs Friday from 5.30 to 6.45. for more experienced players, they have sessions on Wednesday and Friday, too but that's subject to skill levels

      There seem to be all sorts of blocks for this event being mounted on the Common, one is that it was 'designed especially' for the current site, though the organisers seem to have had absolutely no problem rejigging their plans to the original site footprint to expand the event to what we had last year- which I think really imposed on a large part of the park and spoilt the feel. I would suggest pressing very hard for relocation to the Common ( also closer to transport links). There must be a way, surely? If not, then wholesale relocation to a more suitable venue. I just do not think the park should be subjected to a festival-goer footfall of 60,000 plus over the summer.

      Plans for 174, Rye lane, Peckham (former Asda site)

      I absolutely will. Fed up of property developments that are funded from offshore investors and price out local people. Fed up of the demise of social rents and the growing crisis of families in bed and breakfast. Fed up of young people being unable to save deposits, start families and generally have the same security of tenure that previous generations had. So yes, I will drill down into the financing, affordability, where the properties aer being advertised for sale, and how many are genuinely for social rent. Otherwise, no opposition to redeveloping that site in that way.
