In true JA606 fashion everyone has totally ignored the disclaimer and gone in full steam ahead.

Sometimes I really do despair.

I don't think it's been ignored, it's simply not relevant. Whether it's legal or not is besides the point. The rich and powerful (as we all know they do), get to hide funds that should be invested back into their societies and local economies.

The fact that this behaviour is indeed legal is exactly the problem.

I look forward to this report bringing down as many people as possible. Been in the pipeline for ages and required loads of competing news outlets working together to sift through all the evidence

Well, it really is relevant.

That is the exact point of the disclaimer.

I explained why the legality wasn't relevant to the morally/ethics of it. Quoting out of context again though... Nice.

VC is spot on.

99% of this is perfectly legal. Either change the law or quit complaining. Nobody should pay a penny more tax than they are due and if the rules are written in such a way that you can avoid tax legally then fingers should be pointed at the lawmakers.

The only ones that will be brought down Robb are the ones that acted illegally. Which is probably not the majority.
The others should be ashamed though, as the sums of money they earn should be sufficient after they have paid their fair whack of tax. It may not be illegal buts it's immoral in my eyes.

Very important to read the disclaimer.

ICIJ published the following disclaimer with regard to the data provided: "There are legitimate uses for offshore companies, foundations and trusts. We do not intend to suggest or imply that any persons, companies or other entities included in the ICIJ Power Players interactive application have broken the law or otherwise acted improperly

Yeah that will just be ignored by the daily star brigade on ja 606

I knew Messi was a tax dodger

If you had millions your exactly the person who doesn't need to keep every penny, but can pay your tax and still be mega rich.
Every normal working person in the UK has their tax taken out of their salary before they get it. No cheating there.
Politicians who clain that they want to catch tax cheats and benefit cheats and then move their money abroad are hypocrits. But then, we all know that after the expenses scandal.

I am not the one incorrectly arguing over a disclaimer.

Obviously you have a problem with the fact that people on this list may well have not done anything illegal at all.

God only knows why?

You do realise that the less they pay, the more you will have to pay. Unless you have an offshore account yourself.

Hardly a shock Barca we win condone's tax dodging, half the team he supports does it.

To think Cameron wanted to take a few quid away from disabled people who in a lot of cases through no fault of their own find mobility more difficult whilst benefiting from his father's conscious efforts for most of his working life to not pay as much tax as he might in the UK is abhorrent in my view.

Has Camerons father been avoiding his UK tax responsibilities?

posted on 7/4/16

I sort of agree Obi. Completely with the disabled point.
Less about Cameron,much as I dislike his politics. His fathers doings are not his fault and I'm sure that his Dad didn't go into the morallity of it with his son. Plus not many sons would question their father on their money.

But it wouldn't surprise me if something came out about Cameron himself.

Lol at all this moral rubbish. You really think that matters. There is nothing wrong with being clever with your tax. There is also never too much money as money can be blown in an instant. The real immoral ones are the people who sit at home and claim benefits for no good reason. They take and contribute nothing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You're so stupid. This isn't anything to do with moral rubbish, its about fairness. It's no clever it's cheating the society of their money.

Any normal person has to pay all their taxes, but the rich can get away with it? The only people who get affected are the common, which is the majority of the population.

And those on benefits are a small percentage in the big scale. Big companies and these people dodging their taxes hits the economy much harder than the ones on benefits will ever do.
