Bengy.
How many more times do you need to be told,?
It is all LEGAL,
So what is the problem.?? If you had invested your wages wisely instead of on the ale you could have done the same. so please stop trying to make a problem out of business dealings you know nothing of. If it is Legal then that means it is OK.

Lewis Hamilton bought a private jet for 25 million, paid through Isle of Man so no VAT of 1 million paid.
Tax avoidance is legal and any one who fails to use it is a fool.
Tax evasion on the other hand is good if you want to spend the winter somewhere warm, like Wormwood Scrubs.

cappy
It was with others deleted and possibly in error! ? Cannot recall it!
Cheers
Don't always look for egging please just enjoy the site we have had quite enough of this bickering!
Stop now!
I edit where I think appropriate and as said could well have been in error!
Possibly there was nothing in it but with words you now put on how am I supposed to know exactly what was there!
Do not start another War over a Post ! Its not the end of the Bleedin World cappy!
To end this it was a very long and hard day on site with a lot going on ,so that could well have been the issue,we all make errors ! End of now !

Re: Prince Charles's estate made big profit on stake in friend's offshore firm
just listening to Radio 4 , all the Duchy of Cornwall's accounts are put into the public domain annually, so it's hardly big secret
I have had posts fail , pressed the post reply key and hey the post went up in smoke , and I never saw that post either

Bengy,
the Estates Employ a lot of people, and people like you love to see it closed down, and that would put a lot of people out of work and on Benefits like you, and no taxes paid. Better to keep them employed./ they would be paying taxes and the NH stamp.

Re: Prince Charles's estate made big profit on stake in friend's offshore firm
I see absolutely nothing wrong with anything Prince Charles has done and good luck to them. To introduce a little levity into the situation the Royals will always be secure that no criminal act is made as in the legal world to do this 'competence ' is required and if we link competence to common sense well , there you have it. Common sense is not so common amongst our Royals. How do I follow that? Good on you Charles, keep it in the bank.
