Brighton Jambo Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 On 20/12/2018 at 11:46, Pans Jambo said: Some crackers in there Doc. How about this for wealth distribution: Chairmen, CEO's and top directors of corporations take a 50% pay cut from their millions of pounds per year pay packet and use that to raise the salaries of their lowest paid staff. They then pay the tax they REALLY should be paying to the treasury. Not the legal tax avoidance nonsense but the REAL tax they should be paying. The UK government brings into legislation the living wage and increases it every year by inflation and no more zero hours contracts. Employment should be counted as a minimum of 4 hours paid work per day (not the 1 hour per week pish they currently count). More people paid more = bigger tax take and more spending. Fairly sure theres a few more steps that could redistribute the wealth Maybe then the government could pay more than the paltry £73K a year you earn and pay you more (I actually believe Doctors/nurses etc should actually be paid more anyway). They could then invest in infrastructure to create more jobs/more wealth/more tax take/less poor. You mentioned Scottish land, almost 18% (1.5Million Hectares) of land in Scotland is kept in a non-productive state for shooting grouse with only 2640 jobs and an income of around £32M . Sure something better could be done there. Forestry, Onshore Wind, Sustainable Tourism, Agriculture, Livestock farming, Fish Farming, Horticulture, Renewable energy (Biomass), Re-population/housing, solar AND Grouse shooting. Wealth redistribution just needs the will and some thought, doesnt mean turning into Cambodia. There was a report out this week assessing the impact of a cashless society. What ir said was that essentially the earnings not declared by small businesses, consultants, the self employed etc is phenomenal. Funny how people don’t ever crusade about that. The cry is always to targets the CEO and big business and make sure they pay their tax (rightly btw) but never to go after the millions of smaller earners who are also knowingly cheating the system. It’s all tax income that’s being lost and it’s hypocritical to say the least. The CEO will be legally using tax avoidance mechanisms, the painter who does a job cash in hand is knowingly breaking the law by not declaring. How many CEOs in the uk versus how many tradesman.

Where did I say a CEO was being bullied? But you have proved my point. It’s okay for some people to avoid tax but not others. At the end of the day the compound effect of the number of homers being not declared deprives this country of a huge amount of tax for NHS and education etc. I get it, I’m being deliberately provocative , I have mates who are in the trade and would never begrudge them a few extra quid.

I work in a job where a company pays me so I can never dodge tax and it irritates me when others do. A CEO obviously irritates me more but self employed people annoy me too. Bottom line pay the tax you owe so the rest of us benefit. Many years ago I used to work in HMRC's enforcement office and I was given a job of looking at people who had outstanding tax and who hadn't made any effort to pay up and to see if there was any way we could pursue them successfully. I looked at the tax returns of various self-employed people, including taxi drivers. Some of these taxi drivers had declared gross income of around £60,000 (this was 15 years ago) and declared expenses of approx. £53,000 leaving them with taxable income of £7,000. After deducting the tax-free allowances they had a tax bill of approx. £300 which they didn't even bother paying. They were clearly at it as quite a few of them did the same thing, year after year. These guys aren't evading tax to feed their families or heat their homes, far from it. Most tax evaders don't just over declare a few hundred pounds in expenses or under declare a few hundred pound in income for one year, they tend to do it every year and usually they start to increase the amount in subsequent years when they have got away with it the first time. So I agree with you regarding making everybody pay there way, not just the CEOs of the world. I don't understand why anyone would be happy with someone who maybe earns 3/4 times more than them but pays a tenth of the tax they pay. It's also not fair on the businesses who do pay the correct amount (or as near as) when somebody else in the same line of business is evading tax because that can mean the honest business is being undercut by the dishonest one. Tax evasion, usually done by small and medium sized business, runs into billions of pounds. We should be tougher on the avoiders who use illegal avoidance schemes, or ones that are not deemed within the spirit of the law, but also the evaders as well.

Labour should be making hay at the moment but Corbyn is all over the place, and a firm Leaver anyway. She put herself forward for it. Nobody forced her. Shes an arse.

Yet she’s a better option than Rees-Mog, Boris, Hunt or Gove. And Corbyn too, for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just reporting facts, you gotta a problem with that? Still waiting for the 100 odd paedo files to turn up from Westminster that the Maybot accidentally"lost" I assume you don't have a problem with that either?

Why would I have any problem with peadophiles being identified and brought to justice? Oh, that’s right. Because you think it’s something to point score over. Crass.
