Re: Profits are whatever you want them to be
The L'bourg lawyer is relevant - as you've pointed out, they can charge more (etc) , or less. Either way, if what you want is to stop the funnelling of millions / billions through those lawyers, then make the tax system here simpler. Remove the thousands of loopholes then, and more importantly, remove the anonymity shields for money moved through law firms. [The lawyer can charge more or less, I don't care - as long as the rules are consistent: if a company's margins are below their global average, then tax them less, if they're higher, tax them more. Both sides of that particular coin, or neither]
While we're making changes, can we please stop MPs grandstanding about who pays what, as if they are somehow better than anyone else, commenting from their duck ponds, their relatives' houses, and so on [and, to any MPs reading, yes, that's a while ago. I don't care - until you've all paid back all expenses that the rest of us don't get] /rant
