Re: The majority of UK Tax burden is not being paid by companies...
"OK, how about we leave the thinly-veiled antisemitic conspiracy theories out of it for today?"
WTF? Are you saying that the primary shareholders/board members of Amazon and Starbucks are Jewish? Seriously? Does anyone commenting here actually care enough to look into the religious background of these people and and choose to single out these companies based on that? Or are you finding "conspiracies" where there are none?
I personally have no idea what, if any, religion Bezos follows but would be interested to know a ball park figure for his income tax considering the value of his cars/planes/boats/houses and what they cost to buy, operate and maintain. Maybe he just "borrows" then from the company? Do people in the US pay tax on "goods in kind" or "use of company resources", eg I pay extra tax for "private" use of my company car.
