There's an interesting poster I saw recently, using circles to demonstrate scale. It says:
Tax evaded/uncollected : £30 Billion
Benefits unclaimed: £16 Billion
Benefits overpaid due to error: £1.4 Billion
Benefit Fraud: £1.2 Billion
and asks:
WHERE WOULD YOU START ? |

I would start by rolling the poster up and delivering it back to whichever government body is too idle to think of the answers themselves. Cheeky bleeders.  |

where did you see poster, its very good. I totally agree that the attention is focused to much on people on benefits, which conceals the real thiefs, tax evaders etc. |

"Tax evaded/uncollected : £30 Billion"
Hmmm tricky one, reckon I'd have to sit down in STARBUCKS with a nice latte and order a book from AMAZON while I decide....  |

Just slightly off topic, there was a woman on the news recently who had been in court for benefit fraud, it turned out that if she had claimed lawfully she would have been given more than she was getting through the fraud. |

Or mail it to the liars that invented the bogus stats!! 
Do folks really still believe that ANY stats are anything more than what the government WANT us to believe??  |

I highly doubt those stats come from this government. They're not interested in stopping tax evasion, it's their mates and donors that are up to it! |

the figures come From the office for national statistics and were compiled for the TUC. They are a few years old now but...... |

The irony is that a few of the forum regulars that openly attack those on benefits and benefit cheats have in the not too distant past boasted of buying cheap 'No UK Duty Paid' tobbacco....
Makes me chuckle everytime I see their hypocrisy |

All our problems can be solved by:
CORRECTING CORPORATE TAX!
I might be a bit out of date by now but I remember Newscorp over here getting about 10% off corporate tax if not more. They were supposed to pay about 34% and paid instead around 24%. Doesn't seem a lot until you realise that they're saving close to a billion in profits a year, and then Rupert Murdoch puts millions in off shore accounts and evades tax that way too. So there are your real fraudsters!
Apply correctional taxing to all corporations then throw David Cameron and Nick Clegg out of a 40 story window. Problem solved! |
