Comet falls to Earth
Quote:have to accept ever rising income tax for those in work to pay for the increasing numbers out of work
That has been said for decades, as far back as I can remember.
I once met a chap in a pub that was well known for not ever done a days work in his life who was fit and healthy throughout.
Quote:while the internet company just needs a supply agreement with the vendor,
I was surprised to find that a small piece of furniture I ordered online from Argos was delivered in under 7 days shipped from Hong Kong. I think the term is "Just in Time"

Is it not ironic that as I point out Amazon are exploiting a loop hole and the tax system the site includes a link to this company. But CB the tax to be gathered is the same so you have avoided it but that puts up the rate of tax somewhere else. you may have shared it out.

Wasn't it Ivana Trump who said "Only little people pay taxes" ?!
Edit: It was Leona Helmsley .
John i have never gone to a shop and tried the product then bought online. I find that behavior totally inappropriate.
People even buy off QVC try the product for a month and return it and get a full refund, how can a shop survive with that?
These days people have no morals when it comes to shopping. They don't stop to think how they would feel if treated the same.
But don't moan when people lose their jobs and the high street is a thing of the past.
Wasn't Ebay in the news last week for only paying £1 million tax on £800 million due to a loop hole with trading outside of the country?
Doesn't happen in France.

Nothing wrong with that - if Comet had maintained a strong business the Cap Venture Co would not have been interested so you cannot blame Capital Venturists.
Having bought it for just £2 two years ago, it leaves a sour taste in the mouth though, especially when you you then read that the head of the Cap Venture Company used to be the head of one of their main competitors.

Quote:I would not mind as long as Amazon starts to pay some tax
It really is unacceptable that an organisation priding itself on the delivery of excellent customer service should be allowed to get away with this. My initial reaction to the revelation was that UK PLC would at least get due VAT revenues but it seems those at Amazon are side-stepping that obligation too......disgraceful
And now Apple, only 2% corporation tax paid outside the US http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-20197710
