I love this stuff. Using the system against the system. This is like when small investors bought up Gamestop stocks and made the hedge funds lose billions.
FAIR taxes would be everyone, rich and poor paying the same rate. The lower the tax, the better off the economy and the less need for lots of government services. Instead of jumping through all of these hoops (which I'm glad they're doing) how about a real fair tax, close to zero...thus invigorating the economy and not almost literally being burned by the state (at the stake).

If you check your council tax account number, you will see that it matches the IBAN ( international bank account number) of the citibank in New York. Your council tax is going to citibank in New York for tax avoidance purposes. There are 60,000 business based a one office in Finchley high street. These are shell companies.
If the big guys paid the same as the little guys, how would that be fair? If both paid the same 50% for example, to the small businesses that's a huge amount but for the big corporations that rake in, say, 2 billion, 50% of their income is still 1 billion. There should be a threshold that determines the amount of tax paid. So if a company earns more than a certain amount, their tax % increases
@@fredkay6743 By your logic the ultra rich shouldn't pay the same amount as small businesses. Your the problem, not the solution Fred. It is not an even playing field. I am absolutely sick to death of big multi national companies paying F all tax. The system is wrong. It needs fixing.
@@vickidianacoghlan8946 No, they shouldn't pay the same. They should pay more, which is what I said if you actually read it correctly. If both paid the same amount, the small businesses are going to be worse off because the amount of revenue they produce is lower. Which is why I suggested a threshold, the more you earn the higher taxes you pay. That way, both pay their fair share but are in fact paying different amounts.

I have to confess that I din't watch the whole show to see what is happening. These people are fed up with the whole taxation system. The reality is that these taxation way is to kill the small business and protect the corporation chains. These guys got it right. What they didn't get right is that they have way more power that they think. Just imagine for a minute : what if EVERYBODY decides to don't pay taxes of any kind. Could you imagine the kind of problem that creates for the government?. Ok,, you can do something like that for a while, let say few months. In the event it doesn't work you do it for a year. Then the authorities will be really worry. Now, bear with me, all services will start to collapse and they have to do something about it. Everybody will be affected by these civil unrest, but in the end you will get their attention. From then on you have to be really serious about "this is not for negotiation". What are they going to do, bring the army back and put EVERYBODY in prison?. That's was is called a revolution and the interesting part is that no one needs guns to run it. Some crazy ideas from and old guy in Toronto.

All I can say is I know a lot of small business owners and I’ve worked at a corporation doing the same jobs. The small businesses running c”consultant” services definitely pays way less tax then the Corp pays from an income tax perspective
An amazing plucky town fights back to pay the same about of taxes as big corporation companies like Bank of America where it funnels all of its profits to the Caribbeans and pays $0 in taxes. What an amazing story! If all corporations paid their fair taxes, that small town wouldn't have to worry about "who's gonna pay to pave the roads? Or pay for schools? Or pay for healthcare?" Because there will be plenty to go around and then some extra to build a park or community swimming pool.
The goal should not be to have the multi-nationals pay more tax and send it down the bottomless pit of the state, but rather to follow their lead and find ways to get out from under the onerous tax system themselves.
Hahaha the roads, local services, churches, police etc etc, are not paid for using normal taxes, they are paid for using your council tax which you will pay anyway, qt least that's what it says on my bill. If every business in your town avoids tax it will make no difference whatsoever to your towns local services as the people who live there pay council tax. Taxes go to the government not your local roadworks etc and what they spend it on is up to them. If your bothered about things like the local NHS, schools etc, which recieve tax from everyone in the UK not just your town so would still be able to manage regardless, make a donation comparable to the tax percentage that you would have paid, that would have been given to them, which i doubt is much at all, you could could prbably give them a lot more than you would have and still save a fortune on tax.
Every country’s Tax percentage should be changed whether a large or small venture. Companies from other countries find it financially advantageous to venture off shore to gain the deals being made by Governments. These deals to bring foreign interest must stop. It may be the impetus that elevates standards but not being financially disadvantaged by the country they have moved to Taxation percentages must be a constant. That includes the wealthy mans Taxation also.
Local Government and Finance Act 1992 Section 13A - PROVISION TO REVERT LIABILITY TO NIL basically that's the exception especially if its due to hardship 😮😮
I think they should go through with it. It's just a stunt at this point, but why should the town businesses pay taxes to a central 'authority'? Why wouldn't they pool their own resources in order to fund the services that their town needs? That's the whole point of government, and governments around the world these days have completely lost sight of that fact.
When you get a tax bill, from any government department, you can only discharge it, you can't pay a bill (invoice), with a promissory note. They just need your permission to access your "cestui Que vie trust". A promissory note is just a promise to pay, they even send you ai giro, and only the ignorant, don't realise it's the means to ay with, just stamp " approved," and sign it.
Are they still alive ( wow ) well done it’s amazing but government didn’t put a great big fight or even bump people of. Plus maybe town’s business could run the keep of infrastructure buy creating jobs as such from waste management , water management, plus other services as just saying my opinion
It's to prove a point. If the multinationals don't pay their fair share of tax, then what's stopping the little man on the street? If the government values tax so much they should tax everyone the same.
Good for me to watch. I want to make an association for my area and I want us to push over taxes. Especially in the high crime area it is. But I don't know how to make sure security will still be covered. Maybe I'll learn something here. So tired of the crime in my area. And I want taxes to be audited. Where are they going? Do we believe in the causes? Is the amount worth it? how does the cause benefit the community? Etc Etc
Idiots arguing about paying "fair share" of taxes, instead of whether taxation is lawful. Taxation is theft. I quit paying 20+ years ago. I quit funding my oppressors. Will you? Your payments fund my oppressors, therefore you are oppressing me.

The goal should not be to have the multi-nationals pay more tax and send it down the bottomless pit of the state, but rather to follow their lead and find ways to get out from under the onerous tax system themselves.
BLESSINGS
Good on them!
Go on boyo's!!!
It's not a fair level playing field.
Whats the latest on Crickhowell's attempts to make this work? Isn't this doco from years ago?
This is hilarious and very much delicious.
Hahaha the roads, local services, churches, police etc etc, are not paid for using normal taxes, they are paid for using your council tax which you will pay anyway, qt least that's what it says on my bill. If every business in your town avoids tax it will make no difference whatsoever to your towns local services as the people who live there pay council tax. Taxes go to the government not your local roadworks etc and what they spend it on is up to them. If your bothered about things like the local NHS, schools etc, which recieve tax from everyone in the UK not just your town so would still be able to manage regardless, make a donation comparable to the tax percentage that you would have paid, that would have been given to them, which i doubt is much at all, you could could prbably give them a lot more than you would have and still save a fortune on tax.
Now you know how america felt back in the 1700’s
Better yet little businesses should revieve tax free bail outs
Every country’s Tax percentage should be changed whether a large or small venture. Companies from other countries find it financially advantageous to venture off shore to gain the deals being made by Governments. These deals to bring foreign interest must stop. It may be the impetus that elevates standards but not being financially disadvantaged by the country they have moved to Taxation percentages must be a constant. That includes the wealthy mans Taxation also.
Local Government and Finance Act 1992 Section 13A - PROVISION TO REVERT LIABILITY TO NIL
basically that's the exception especially if its due to hardship 😮😮
What an I opener
I think they should go through with it. It's just a stunt at this point, but why should the town businesses pay taxes to a central 'authority'? Why wouldn't they pool their own resources in order to fund the services that their town needs? That's the whole point of government, and governments around the world these days have completely lost sight of that fact.
ALL the people should join this against governments and their rich golf buddies.
I see that their is only one brave person in that town.It won’t hurt to try.
Well done all involved Fairer tax for all
When you get a tax bill, from any government department, you can only discharge it, you can't pay a bill (invoice), with a promissory note.
They just need your permission to access your "cestui Que vie trust".
A promissory note is just a promise to pay, they even send you ai giro, and only the ignorant, don't realise it's the means to ay with, just stamp " approved," and sign it.
Are they still alive ( wow ) well done it’s amazing but government didn’t put a great big fight or even bump people of. Plus maybe town’s business could run the keep of infrastructure buy creating jobs as such from waste management , water management, plus other services as just saying my opinion
the system is understood by its architects and those who are curios enough
Why not.
If big corporations are doing it then why not the small fish.
Tax avoidance is OK folks! Tax evasion is illegal. They are not getting the distinction.
If government knows about corporation tax avoidance, but don't change the law to stop it, then why not?
They get a cut of $$ to look the other way
@@os2841 Don't know what else it could be
Income Tax of any nature is illegal & is an ENSLAVEMENT of the people, get thees CRIMINAL POLITICIANS OUT OF PEOPLE'S POCKETS
What was the point ?
40 grands a DAY? So you save on taxes and pay all your savings, perhaps some more, to a lawyer. That's neat.
It's to prove a point. If the multinationals don't pay their fair share of tax, then what's stopping the little man on the street? If the government values tax so much they should tax everyone the same.
Good for me to watch. I want to make an association for my area and I want us to push over taxes. Especially in the high crime area it is. But I don't know how to make sure security will still be covered. Maybe I'll learn something here. So tired of the crime in my area. And I want taxes to be audited. Where are they going? Do we believe in the causes? Is the amount worth it? how does the cause benefit the community? Etc Etc
I don’t even want to work no more
“Local oligarch” well that aged well…
Idiots arguing about paying "fair share" of taxes, instead of whether taxation is lawful. Taxation is theft. I quit paying 20+ years ago. I quit funding my oppressors. Will you? Your payments fund my oppressors, therefore you are oppressing me.
How did you do that? Could you please share?
