Re: What a crock of shite

Most sensible and informed comment here Neil.

I'd also add inter company loans to the list of common evasion strategies, but quite how you'd do something to determine the difference between a legit one and a profit sucking one I don't know.

The general public seem to think that it should be possible to easily fix these blood suckers and that only corruption at senior levels prevents action being taken... if only it were so simple.

Oh and while Google, Amazon and Apple always make the headlines, its not just them playing silly buggers with this, its also every other multinational...

How many million per annum in tax receipts from this one Gideon? Sounds like a lot to Joe Public but that's feck all mate, hardly worth going to war with them for such a paltry amount.
