Just been watching the news about the whole Jimmy Carr thing. I didn't realise he was only paying as little as 1%, which is according to Cameron, immoral. But how many people would pay only 1% if they could?
Anyway, how do you pay only 1% tax?

not sure how but he should have stuck it out. people would have a bit of respect for him then. caving because he's getting stick is just feeble

cameron calling any cunt imoral ??????? the brass neck fucker

i would if i had the option and i was on a good salary.
50% tax is ridiculous.
Other than celebrities, a lot of the high earners in this country actually work their socks off. Imagine working 7 day weeks and only getting paid for 3 and half of them. Imagine every time you bought something you had to actually earn double - so to buy a £100 worth of shopping youd have to earn £200!!

I've read articles about this Jimmy Carr sernario. People are comparing paying 1% tax (totally legally) to benefit fraud. In my opinion they are totally different. How can a high paid surgeon, for example, who saves lives on a daily basis and works stupid hours for the benefit of the greater good, be compaired to a fat lazy tracksuit wearing bastard who cant be arsed getting a job and so pretends he has a bad leg?

I wouldn't. Always pay your taxes in full. The HMRC are good cunts and I hope they fully pursue anyone who tries to avoid paying taxes.

I think 50% tax is over £100,000. So if you make £110,000, you will get taxed 50% on that £10,000 so pay £5k in tax. Not sure if that is 100% right but I am quite sure...

doesnt the 50% tax rule only come into account having earned over x amount (150k) ?
its an abuse of position or of class, finding loopholes in the tax system to avoid paying tax(for the greater good, or at least you would like to think)
in the same respect some 'fat apparently lazy' tracksuit wearing bastard' thinks he can put a few quid in his empty pockets by saying he has a bad leg, he takes the piss too.

tax avoidance costs far more than benefit claimers/fraud im pretty sure.

Just ask Greece how detrimental tax avoidance is.

Fuck tax. Survival of the fittest!

When I moan about my taxes I always think about my grandparents getting treated/kept alive by the NHS/the school which educated me well enough so that I could go to a decent university. it sounds like a lot of sentimental bollocks but I've done pretty well out of this country so for me tax avoidance/evasion wouldn't be an option I'd consider.

This whole saga has only reinforced the fact that David Cameron requires a good murdering.
