So the wealthy and well to do are in the spotlight again for their murky financial dealings! ::)
We also now know why Lord Opti has been looking at BMW's as he obviously needs to shift some cash around quickly! ;) :D ;D

The best bit, is 'dave' has said he hasn't benefited from this, and has no,knowledge of his fathers dealings, and it's a private matter :o
Dave's worried

Thing is, reverse the roles. You have millions of quid in the bank, would you not do the same, hide as much as you can from the tax man?
I get hacked off enough with my tax bill, so I don't blame anyone trying to hide their hard earned loot.
-
If everyone paid there dues, tax liability's would be less. The fact you have lots of cash means you can employ somebody to get around the tax laws, therefore, lesser mortals have to pay more, to make up the short fall.
Look at Greece, nobody pays enough tax,the rich pay even less. ::)

Yes.
Paying tax is optional for the wealthy few......but not for the other 99%

It often isn't. :)

I had to laugh when the new FIFA presidents name was also mentioned.
An Icelandic politician has gone too.
Panama will just be replaced by a different tax saving initiative.

Nah, it'd be squandered on the same tosh that New Labour squandered it on in the fat years.
Even if it wasn't, despite what the tabloids and commentards say, the extra money would be so insignificant, it wouldn't allow Mr Average BR tax payer even an hour of not paying tax.
And no, I don't have any money stashed away hidden from the taxman. Mr Osbourne butt rapes me the same as everyone else, and blows it on unsustainable things like the NHS and adult social care.
That said, if I was rich enough to be able to pay someone to hide money, I might just emigrate to IoM or Jersey or the Caymens.

The wealthy few apparently includes the Unite union. Up the workers. ;) ::)

And I almost forgot to mention, it also includes the Guardian "newspaper", which is of course the publication which is throwing all the mud around at everyone else.
You couldn't make it up. ;D

I consider Cameron Loathsome and vile, and would find it hard to ever find a shred of sympathy for him, but the hypocrisy of the left, never ceases to amaze me.

People trying to hide money/wealth/deals from prying eyes. This is something new, is it?

Nah, it'd be squandered on the same tosh that New Labour squandered it on in the fat years.
Agree 100% with both of these, having received my P60 for the past year earlier in the week I'm feeling a move to Dubai coming on!
Considering some of the carp we spend money on in this country:
- Homeopathic hospitals
- NHS Artwork
- International aid to india - which has a space programme btw
- Index linked DB public sector pensions
- Blair's tent in the thames
I can't blame anyone for avoiding paying into that shower!

Don't let the door slam on the way out. ;D

;D We won't
In all seriousness though, the world is now a very small place now and I'm less and less sure what the benefit of being in the UK is if you earn good money and don't want anything off the state. Especially considering under 35's like myself won't be getting a state pension, or at best it'll be means tested.
This is the bit that Corbyn and his merry band just don't get. HMRC is neither well resourced, nor smart enough to extract significant tax revenues from the 1%. Much less the big multinationals. People will just up and move - or more likely, just move on paper. When you are that wealthy, what country you live, work and invest in is a choice, and no-one got to be that wealthy by choosing to give it away.
So, where will the burden of paying for the Corbynite Bright New DawnTM fall? It'll be on those under that 1%, anyone earning £40-100k, the 10% if you like. Those who are seen as less geographically mobile and an easier target, while still being "rich enough" for no-one to care how much they're taxed. I'm already at the stage where I see little point in pursuing a better job, because any gain I make will be (nearly) half due to the taxman. Corbyn's policies make the choice of whether to stay or go really very simple for us as a family.
I know that my wife & I, and others like me are seen as the "its alright for you" crowd who should just get our hands in our pockets and contribute a bit more and "don't let the door hit your ar$e on the way out" is a common attitude. That's fine, but for everyone that goes, the tens of thousands of pounds of tax revenue that gets quietly contributed every year goes with them. I've talked about this with a number of mu colleagues and friends, many of whom have worked abroad at some point before and will again if Corbyn gets in.

Don't worry about any of this, things are happening behind the scenes which will cure all of the above.
For instance, I was reading a small, hidden article this morning about a group of scientists that have been assembled because the powers that be are secretly shitting themselves about population growth and lack of the resources to feed them, give them jobs (or pay their benefits) or save them from the pollution we are chucking out (exhaust gasses, global warming, the like).
Then another article about how 1 in 11, yes 1 in 11 people in the developing world have got diabetes.
I could go on.......
