Hi Code. Giving tax money, unnecessarily, to incompetent govs is morally wrong. That is why all my investing strategies look at tax avoidance. Gold/Silver Brits, stocks and shares ISAs and owner occupied residential homes (although stamp duty is a stealth tax ).Using shrewd accountants also helps. What really annoys me is the 20% VAT levied on purchases. Many a time i have walked away from a purchase because of the VAT. SIPPs are also a tax trap, imagine having a million GGP shares in a SIPP and giving 45% to HMRC . The answer is to shrink gov by 90% and reduce their activities to civil law and order and border control and give much more power to parish and local councils.
Apologies for the off topic, but my views are that my hard earned profits from GGP are mine. ATB Speedy
