The post you are reporting:
Constant rot, is no better form of rot, Barry.
We certainly do not have a Government today that is making the least attempt at ending tax avoidance.
Your third paragraph, "I have told you..." Is parenthetically infested with the seed of it's own destruction.
The, any, Government should be our servant, but neither should lucre be our Deity.
You are wrong Barry, but as I say at the top of this post you are at least consistently wrong.
In no sense whatsoever does any business pay over it's money in tax. All those, individuals or corporations, who pay tax pay with their customers money, their customers get their money from their own customers (less that portion that they too pay in tax).
The folly at the root of your own wrong-headedness lies within this lie:Prices are set to meet costs plus a reasonable profit, but once the price has been paid extra profit is sought by then revisiting the original costings with an eye to reducing them by any means, fair or foul. This is where you get the idea that tax payments come from the company's coffers, because any and all such payment that can be avoided count as company money.
