RicW 67 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Have a look at the Independent today. Can't set the link, but it's www.independent.co.uk. Front page lists articles, click on "RSPCA Bites Hand That Feeds It". A guy left £1000000, 480000 to the uno who, rest to family and friends. Arsepac took family to court trying to make them pay the inheritance tax on the £480000. I'm pleased to report that the judge threw the case out and awarded costs against the arsepac.

The Seeker 3,048 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 I wonder if Mr Mason had realised what total tw@ts the RSPCA would be once they received his £480K donation would he have left it to them in the 1st place? I think not, then again the British public is totally brain washed with this cr@p. How many times do you watch TV and some advert comes on "for just £2.00 per month you could help save.................." Boll*cks to them all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattydski 560 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 My wife is a bit of an animal lover, and for some time before I met her, had a direct debit to the RSPCA every month, in her naivety, believing she would help animals in trouble. That was until they refused to re-home ferrets to me 4-5 years ago, even though they had no room, because I drove a landrover and thought they would be used for hunting............Same for dogs. I cancelled the direct debit my self Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 It's about time the general public woke up and become aware of their true nature. Sadly they'll still keep raking it in of the back of the British public's love of animals. Makes my blood boil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Swampy 147 Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 (edited) OK. Now I'm not taking any sides here! Surely as a charity they would exempt from tax? Also had this been signed over to the twunts as a "gift aid" the gov't would have also donated a further percentage. This certainly is the case at Church where our doantions/collection is palced in an envelope and your name and post code are written on it. Government then adds to the donation. I think that as usual the papers haven't given the full facts here and they have gone for the sensationalist approach...........NOT that I'm complaining mind!

RicW 67 Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Death duty is payable on the estate before distribution to the legatees. Arsepac tried to get the other legatees to top up their payout to what it would have been without death duties. I assume the estate was to be distributed as, for example, half to arsepac, quarter to the surviving brother, quarter to the friends, after payment of due debts.. Death duties count as a legal debt and must be paid first. They still copped for 370k FFS Ric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Off thread a bit i know but id like to share a story about the rspca that was a bit weird and worrying, i thought at the time .I used to keep ferrets,b.o.p as well as the usual dogs ,lurchers ,terriers .I also ,from time to time will take in an injured bird animal and try to mend /hack it back .Im not alone in this im sure and many people will agree that country sports go hand in hand with a love of nature .I recently had a kestrel which i released having been hit by a car and someone ,probably a neighbour had informed the rspca . Anyway ,before that id been given a mink kit from a dubious source and i reared it on a ferret that had kits at the time ,helping out with bottled milk,and the mink truly believed it was a ferret . The ferrets were housed in a 8x16 foot aviary which was attached to the kennels and linked to the wintering for my harris hawk via a mesh door into another aviary. All was good until one day i went out to do the rounds and foud two rspca officers looking over my garden gate .Being a polite sort of chap i entered into a conversation and the crux of was that i invited them in to view the setup Bad move and very nieve of me .I had nothing to hide and they comented on the good standard of care and how well things were looking .That was until the mink ,now fully grown,came racing out and up the wire as it did every day .Questions were asked, and answered truthfully but i was told it was a wild anmal and i didnt have a licence to keep it .I tried explianing that it was an orphan and as such had been semi hand reared and would not be suitable for release .They quoted the law on the matter, that indiginous animals couldnt be released and that it would be seized and rehomed .I asked about the licencing system but was told it was too late for that as i already had the mink in my possesion! .I then asked for them to leave which they did at once .Thought no more of it but 2 weeks later to the day i had a knock at the door .Same two officers with a cat basket and a seizure notice .After reading this i laughed and told them they werent entering my premises to which i was informed a police officer was on his way and that they would be seizing the mink and could they see the papers for the harris hawk .I produced it wth them still on the doorstep and when done so i closed the door . Dogs started barking so i ran round the back to find one of the officers half way over my gate as it was locked .He climbed back as i approached and stood glaring at me .They walked back to sit in the van for a while and then drove away .Never heard anything else from them to this day !. Sadly the mink and most of the ferrets were 'released'a few years later by someone and the mink got runover by a car . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Parents had to sell their house to pay the inheritabce tax on the house they received. We had to pay inheritance tax prior to receiving our dues. I don't get it!?????? Feckin tax man takes your money even when you're dead! B'stardosNing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
