Tax Havens

The bigger picture? Over fifty percent of the companies involved in the Panama Papers are British.
That seems quite a big picture to me.

I meant bigger picture as in the tax haven issue itself.

Nothing we can do about tax havens, Cameron agrees with them , if the PM doesn't want to stop them then nothing we can do

Get rid of Cameron and pals?

Troup only took over at HMRC on 5th April.
He was appointed in February. I bet that's an appointment Cameron wishes he hadn't made at the moment; to appoint someone who thinks that tax is legalised extortion seems a bit absurd to me.

Surely Annie no such thing is acceptable but it is up to the Speaker to determine which are against the parliamentary rules and deal with them accordingly. I don't think that agreeing with such behaviour does anyone any credit.

Annie you don't have any ISAs, pensions or investments? In that case you probably don't have any offshore shares but most people do and my comment was about most people not any individual.

I think it is easy for people to mock what they don't understand, finance is very complicated as is running the country. To take one issue and separate it from the whole is easy but often shows a lack of understanding. To say that this or that should be funded from the public purse without saying what should be removed to pay for it and understanding the implications of such a removal is short sighted.

Can anyone tell me if JC has disclosed anything other than his tax return? Has he denied having any other income?

Oh, pat on the head there, Nonnie. Nothing like patronising people who do not have shares/ISAs, etc.

What we do understand is that Cameron is trying to change the rules to suit himself, as he has done since he was in power.

Does Corbyns lifestyle suggest that he has any other form of income.

Nothing like patronising people from the expert in so doing!

I think most people have ISAs, pensions or some other sort of investment and as I have already said for those who choose to ignore it, I was talking about most people. However, there is nothing I can do about people who choose to ignore what I have actually said and interpret it by their strange imaginations.

White I am fortunate to know nothing about Mr Corbyn's lifestyle but I was hoping for a reasonable answer to a reasonable question. Should have known better.

Why do you think Corbyn should have any other income other than what is on his tax return?

Nonnie, Where do you get your idea that MOST people have offshore shares? Approximately 50% in the UK don't have any savings at all. I don't know the figures, but I would be very surprised if most people have offshore shares.

JC's P60 is not his tax return. Or has he released that as well? If he has, what was the point of the P60 being released?

Naivety?

He did not release his P60, he released his tax return, all ten pages of it.

Oh this is getting too wonderfully dotty for words! Cameron hasn't actually done anything wrong at all ( I did say earlier, let's wait and see) so now he should be' judged for being arrogant'.

Still, a lot of grans have had some fun hoping he would resign.

You do keep saying that, roses. I'd still like to know how you know.

Did you watch the Daily Politics ?

Enough people have now said that he hasn't done any wrong, has all been legal and all taxes paid.That not good enough for you?

I realise it's a disappointment for some of you.

I don't know if you realise it durhamjen but even if DC killed his own Mother, the Tories will still win the next election.

Oh, they're still hoping for some Big Revelation that will topple Cameron and his cronies once and for all - dream on...

Nonnie, please do not patronise me and with respect if you really believe most people in this country have pensions - excluding state pension- or some other form of investment you need to mix with a wider range of the human race

Actually nonnie was spot on, a great deal of people have some other form of pension or investment, ISA etc. We may not be talking huge amounts, but even a small pension added to the state pension adds up.

Petra, with reducing the number of labour MP's constituencies and the sweetners they will offer I expect the tories to win the next election , doesn't make them a government of the people, just a givernment of the l'm ok Jack sod the vulnerable voters
