yeah but I bet we all subsidised their profits with council tax and tax credits, as they are not paying their workers enough to live on.

But when you consider this country is loosing a hundred and twenty billion in taxes every year then none of this is a surprise.

But what do this government do when we need cash badly. they take benefits off the poor and cut down the armed forces and still have to lend more money from europe than they said they would.

I think I will buy my self a euro lottery ticket as it would be well worth winning that much money if they no longer want to tax the rich.

A very good tax lawyer and good accountant come into play here. Time to look for both.

From what the article said, it said "tax dodge", but tax dodge and tax schemes are different. They use legal tax schemes to pay less taxes, so they are not "breaking" any laws. They are using the legal system to pay less taxes. The problem is not with the companies, it's with the tax laws and the people who make those laws.

If you see that companies pay less taxes, why dont you guys do the same. Form a company, look for a good tax lawyer and accountant, pay them good to let them work their magic.

Look at GE in the US, how can they pay no taxes for 2011(?) or 2010(?), forgot what years, and get away with it? Simple, smart people working for them.
