He seems to have given up on some level recently.

That can't be real

Sadly not. Shame. Given he's talked about weakening the handgun laws it wasn't much of a stretch for me tbh.

richard tice reported to use dodgy tactics to aggressively avoid tax payments, and his response is to encourage everyone to do all they can to avoid paying income tax,

 

[EpsomWolf]

Not sure what the tactics amount to and what makes them dodgy but surely everyone’s trying to avoid tax payments, or certainly minimise them as much as legally possible? I mean, that’s the driver behind a lot of things, a lot of the big decisions we make. Pretty sure much of the advice in Andy’s Financial Literacy thread would be underpinned by tax avoidance.

Tax evasion is a different thing of course, but presumably Tice isn’t being accused of that?

 

[Del Woppio]

If it wasn't for rich people doing shit like that - and obviously there's a lot richer avoided a lot more - then we wouldn't have had frozen tax thresholds for so long. Ordinary people don't have the opportunity to move their salary through dormant Cayman Islands businesses to minimise the tax paid.

 

[EpsomWolf]

No doubt about that but still think most would in the same position.

Tax evasion is a way of life amongst many people, communities, a way of life in many countries, and not just amongst the rich, just seems to be the way it is unfortunately

 

[PuntsWolf]

Surely the reason why tax avoidance strategies are legal is because they are a net benefit to the economy?

 

[PuntsWolf]

If that’s not the case. Why are they legal?

(For the avoidance of doubt I was referring to pensions, EIS, VCTs etc rather than shifting money to Cayman Isles - I wasn’t aware that was actually “legal”).

There’s nothing illegal in having an offshore account.

Essentially, you have to declare your offshore income/assets etc to HMRC, however, HMRC can’t access those accounts. Therefore, if you’re prepared to gamble they never will then that’s the appeal.

Anyone can have one and tbh I’d have one in a heartbeat if it stacked up, but I wouldn’t take the gamble outlined and any investment returns are at rates not to make much of a difference - not as far as I can see at fairly normal investment levels at least.

I’d imagine a different world of opportunity and returns opens up to those with huge portfolios and it’s probably only those and the evaders who really get into it.

Perhaps it is the rank hypocrisy.
I mean, it's just possible that the country & it's services are bankrupt owing to immigrants.
Or, because of rich cunts like him aggressively avoiding paying the contributions they are due to make & can very easily afford.
