don logan 8,062 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 He's havering utter pish about no accountancy firm worth their salt recommending tax avoidance schemes. My company's accountants are a prominent, highly respected and award winning Glasgow firm and they regularly provide details of schemes available while outlining the anticipated reaction from HMRC and how they would deal with that. And they are not the exception but the norm. Lazy journalism again from poncey Alec. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jintybear 8,536 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Taxation of my salary disgusts me. I am more than happy to pay for any services which I partake of, and to pay for roads, hospitals (to an extent), schools and defence. I do not wish to pay a penny towards immigrants, junkies, layabouts, single mothers, gay rights campaigners, campaigners of any sort, the European Union and all the rest of the insects which feast on my labours.So frankly, I really don't give a flying fuck about tax avoidance. I am the best judge as to the way my money is spent, not ANYBOBY else. If I wish to give money to charity I will do so, the Government should not be taking money from me to give to anyone else.This! How much if our tax paying money is being wasted by this pointless appeal? Fkn sick of pish journalists who try to save their flagging careers by a sick hate filled anti rangers agenda. We are, and always will be the almighty Rangers and we will be proved innocent yet again! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunk and disorderly. 14,418 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I saw that too his reporting style is nauseating he thinks he's so clever but he just sounds like a patronizing git.Very true. I have noticed channel 4 is sending him to increasingly dangerous war and disaster zones. He will meet at early demise with a bit of luck.

Brubear 2,920 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 "Any accountant worth their invoice will tell you not to go within a thousand miles of any tax-avoiding trust or benefit schemes..." :lol: :lol: - this is genius. Agreed - This is exactly what top accountants get paid doing, whether as consultants or working directly for the likes of Starbucks, Google etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

baxfanalex 113 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 The appeal is only being pursuid to try to get some scabby bastards at HMRC off a high hook. The idea of chasing the old company for the mythical millions is beyond ludicrous. However, when it fails again, we will still want names for the scum who raised the action and forced the Club down the liquidation route. As a small aside, HMRC are pursuing no clubs in England with similar intent, as we keep saying.................only in Scotland!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brackley 1,400 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Why doesn't he highlight Mr Dermott's tax avoidance on the other side of the city.Nice little 6% in perpetuity interest on a loan paid as a dividend to a company in Gibralter where it is tax free. Saves him around £160k a year in tax on it.Legal tax avoidance but where is the outcry re all the schools hospitals blah blah blah.Google Celtic hidden debt and look for the £9m that's appeared on the balance sheet under long term debt.

All this is, is proof that he needs to talk about us in order to gain any kind of attention, good or bad. His Girlfriend 3 names must be getting bored of him....

The Educator 1,572 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I would have thought that he'd have been more inclined to look at the tax avoidance schemes at BT and porkheid as Lord Porkhied can be linked to them. When you are named as a secretary for trade and industry with the UK government you would expect people to have a look at what you have been up to in business. Odd how nobody seems to bother that the new secretary for trade and industry with a record like his was named by the PM after months of banging on about curbing tax avoidance isn't it. From a point of security is it not strange that in the UK two men who have been linked with a team whose fans openly support a terrorist organisation can hold any government linked office? One was even Secretary of State for Defence and then charged with organising the NI peace process. Hardly a way of starting a process without a predefined bias.Surly such an esteemed investigative journalist like Thompson would find these more worthy of his time that spreading falsehoods about a Scottish football team? Apparently not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
