    That's true, mine took a year to turn up. During that time my old car dropped in value by around £10k so I've just held on to it instead.

    Anyone managed to get Flight Sim 24 working yet? My eldest is desperate to play but it appears that overloaded servers are making it impossible to even download the in-game content.

    Next time get one without the options and piy all of the human rights like heated/cooled seats, remote climate etc through monthly expenses. You can expense many of the safety features like lane keeping and auto driving too. Probably won't be long until you have to unlock the full power of a...

    I've got not issue with that. HMRC's lawyers will still be less good than those representing the rich, my business and my kids' school. It won't change anything.

    Quite. The marginal rate on earnings between £100k and £125k is preposterous too. Almost enough to make one take a very expensive (electric) car and pay dividends to the wife instead.... BTW, many manufacturers now allow you to povvo spec a car for P11D values and then rent the features you...

    A point I've been trying to make for years (decades?) here. Labour started it by throwing around nonsensical terms like "relative poverty" - a measure that tells us nothing about whether or not the subject is in poverty or not.

    Tax evasion is relatively low in the UK compared to other developed countries. Every new government includes a few £b of "making rich people pay their taxes" knowing full well they don't have a hope of seeing any of it. The only realistic way to reduce it would be to have a much more...

    That's simply untrue. Their accounts are published at Companies House and, unlike our chancellor, I suspect they're telling the truth in their submissions.

    It is limited by law. As with all UK financial rules, that which isn't explicitly banned is deemed legal. If anyone is evading tax in a way HMRC can prove in court, then they will get what they deserve.

    You don't pay into a pension? If your employer isn't doing so then report them

    Their tailored stuff is proper tailoring done the right way. Wouldn't touch theit sportswear stuff but then you should say that about any brand.

    I can't speak for the US but in the UK everyone pays the tax they're due. As with everyone, tax liability is what HMRC can prove is due. Can you honestly say you've never avoided tax? Never paid into an ISA? Never been on a booze cruise? Paid into a pension? What about paying school fees up...

    They are, just like all of us, liable to whatever taxation HMRC can prove (beyond reasonable doubt) that they owe in court. I'm fine with that. The rules are the same for all of us, it's fair.

    Why does it matter what those at the top have? Isn't the important bit at the other end?

    That government taxed and spent more than any since WWII. But don't let facts get in the way of a good rant......

    The Conservatives taxed and spent more than any government since WWII. The problem isn't there, you're looking the wrong way.

    Don't be too harsh on the police. They've got a lot of work to do chasing down pre-crimes and thought crimes.
