Ideation 8,216 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Boots have moved their headquarters to a PO BOX in Switzerland, thus avoiding paying the u.k gov about 100Million in tax. We try to blame the immigrants etc for tax cuts, but it's these big companies that are one of the main roots of the problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

andyfr1968 772 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 It's like when Dyson shut down production of their vacs in the UK and moved it overseas and when Warfdale did the same with all their gear and the fact that even most 'British' guns are now made in either Spain or Turkey... The list goes on and on.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shepp 2,285 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 It is a very difficult situation, we need those who can afford it, to pay more taxes but if we raise their taxes they move to another country. We then loose all they would have payed, I don't know a way round it because either way it increases the tax burden on the normal citizen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a disgrace how they're allowed to get away with things like this, then the government point the finger at the little people for all the countries woes. It's always been the same. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Richie10 345 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 If we don't provide some tax relief in this country to big businesses then you won't have the financial centre in London which is the biggest money generators in the UK. Tax these companies more and they will move to where tax is kinder. There the UK will go down the pan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We are currently awaiting huge cuts, especially in the public sector. Companies like boots exploit a legal loop hole to keep most of their money off shore, move it about and avoid tax, actions which if an individual commited would be deemed a crime and they would be punished. Obviously major companies lobby the government to keep things in their favour by using the threat of removal of their company from the economy. However - we are not talking about primary/secondary industry which could move their plants over seas - their plants are ALREADY over seas. They base their retail outfits here (where they make a f**k load but employ vey few) and are very unlikely to move them over seas due to the % of their revenue that they generate. We are all expected to pay high taxes - but whereas we are all losing jobs and taking pay cuts - the big companies are increasing their profits yearly and whilst thei tax bill would be high in monetery terms when viewed as a % of their total income and when you look at how much profit they still generate - what they would pay as tax would be a drop in the ocean and would prop up the country and economy that they benefit from basig their shops in. Just like a parasite they come, take what they can and dont worry if they kill the host in the process. Megpsycho - No i'm not an immigrant, not here, but i have been when i lived overseas. Most of what i post on here is about hunting but i cant help but stick my oar in when the rants are going on. 'They shouldnt be here' - who are 'they' what about my misses - shes as english as they come but shes actually polish/irish? Born here, raised here, sound and acts english, should she go? Her familly came here to join the RAF to fight against the germans. What about those with roman, norman, saxon, viking blood in them? We are a natio of immigrants, being an immigrant or foreign does not automaticlly make you bad. Yes, a lot of them are twats and should be here but its not cos they are foreign, its cos they are twats. And there are plenty of white, british twats as well. In my book, decent folk can stay, c**ts should go and i dont care what color/race they are. Is that mad? You also have to accept that these big companies and the government work together to divide the common people and give them a scapegoat to hate, so they dont see the bigger picture. If folk think that all our countries problems boil down to the immigrants they are niave as f**k. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
