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.

*Quickly packs suitcase full of fifty pound notes and heads for Switzerland*

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.

    • Hello! i'm looking for someone who could do this for me in the next couple of days please. Please let me know what you would charge. Many thanks!
    • All the more reason to support the BBC.  The last thing we want is a news service controlled by the likes.
    • I am genuinely curious… what is this obsession with keeping children active with things to do after school. From what I know, most  CV kids to rugby or football of a weekend but do they actually need activities during the week after school? What about going home, relaxing before homework and I don’t know, reading a book, drawing, Lego, constructing a car/plane.. even making some cookies…
    • The BBC is one of the finest, if not the finest, broadcasters in the world.  They have been admired by many across the world for their journalism.  There have been numerous arrests since their recent expose on convenience shops that cover ups for criminals - money laundering, contraband,  illegal workers and the like. By no means perfect and some of what they have done in the modern world is questionable - the website often comes across as tabloid or sensationalist, as do some of their documentaries, and at times it is full of low grade game shows, fly on the wall etc which bring the punters and money, including overseas, in but is not quality TV.  In their desperation for 'balance' they've given too much air time and credibility to some more extreme views, which contributed to Brexit and some of the rise in right wing parties.  I wish they'd say 'the convicted criminal' every time they talk about Yaxley Lenon. The programme was clumsy, why it didn't go through proper clearance including the lawyers, I don't know.  But it created zero stir at the time. Zero.  And had no impact on the election, so Trump has no case.  I hope they don't cave in like many of the US corporations and media.  Oh and well done to South Park using the small p*nis defence in ridiculing him. What I expect is as the Beeb is pretty centrist in it;s reporting in riles some of those who thrive on the toxic populism we have seen since Trump mark 1 and Brexit.  How sad.
