Comic Jimmy Carr admits off-shore 'tax dodge'

[mashman]

... but he's sorry

Yet another fuckin wanker... all of those who do such a thing are morally redundant human beings with absolutely no concern for their fellow man... and then these people try to justify their in-actions whilst people have lost their jobs and their homes because of cutbacks that could have been avoided had those who can best afford it have just paid their taxes. They're by far worse and do more damage than beneficiaries that fiddle the system!

But nowhere near as entertaining.

Praps attending a party or two might change your mind about that.

He is not the only one in the world that has done this. All of those in business have 'tax havens'. Talk to John Keys,ask him how he handles his TAX you may well be surprised. That is if he would tell you, he does not talk to mere mortals.

Where the fuck does that come from?

Nah. I have many friends in low places.

So, how much tax did he pay? I mean, presumably he paid SOME.

And if, say, (just for the sake of arguement), he paid a mere ten times the tax you did... then how much of a redundant wanker does that make you?

[hayd3n]

well if hes not breaking the law then i guess its fine

but with no sense of humour it would seem.

excuse number 1 for the thread and an obvious 1 to boot, disappointing, hey ho. There are tax brackets, not tax ceilings! Pay what you are obliged to pay on ALL of your income or you are no better (in fact much worse) than a beneficiary playing the system and indeed do more damage to the country that put you through your schooling and supported you in your meteoric rise to the "top".

Oh no, you mean there are people on this planet that earn more than I do . Fortunately I pay tax on my whole income and do not try to hide it away anywhere, so I am redundant wanker label free... just an ordinary wanker.

[mashman]

If that's the case, why did he feel the need to apologise? Perhaps he didn't realise that "ordinary" people suffer from his actions

[hayd3n]

he was clearly joking

[Ocean1]

He did.

So, how much "help" did he need to get to "the top"?

And when you get there will you have needed more or less?

Only, I'm concerned your self-image is taking a terrible battering with these realisations that there's an obligation to return societies "investment". 'Course, I've no idea if mate Jimmy's in the black yet or not. Or you.

[Virago]

I've always found it rather amusing that those who openly despise the monetary system, are invariably obsessed with what other people do with their own money...

[mashman]

Let's throw in a company for good measure... Nope, businesses should be taxed at exactly the same rates as us normal folk. Why do they deserve tax incentives when they abuse the taxation system? kinda like forcing every beneficiary to carry a "what you can spend your money on card", even though only a small portion of them abuse the system. One tax scale for all entities and jail the heads of any that are caught avoiding taxes!

[mashman]

ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaa.

He did.

Did he? Why did he admit the opposite?

@self image... aye, that's top of my list. Have a search for Jimmy's "spending" or indeed to whom he owed money and didn't pay back. He makes people laugh, so he's alright... now I know I've heard that before.

I'm sure Ocean said that last time around... I might be wrong though... I'm only "obsessed" where there's obvious damage left behind in the wake of the money obsessed and their need to stop at nothing to get more of it. I don't fully despise the monetary system (pretty damned close though) moreover I realise that it is unnecessary.
