[quote=jambalaya]So do we all still use the German online sellers for bike stuff ? They are exploiting a VAT loophole which benefits German tax revenue and hurts the UK ?
What loophole is this? They charge 19% VAT in Germany although perhaps they're charging 7% as "transport" is in this bracket but I am fairly certain that means train tickets and the likes, not XT mechs.
Doesn't corporation tax vary a lot depending on what kind of company you are? I thought there were dozens of rates.

I'm not an accountant but I think the only variance to the rate is if you profist are too small. £1.5 mil? Above this and you pay 24% tax on profits.
Obviously there are all sorts of allowances and clever schemes to make the actual amount paid less than 24% of profits. Unfortinately the goverment can't legistalte against accountants being clever.
I've been avoiding Starbucks for years; their toilets are like pig sties.
We'll boycott it as long as it doesn't affect us.
Head. Nail. Hit.
Feel free to boycott Starbucks but the fanbois don't seem to be flocking away from Apple....
I've made a start by closing my FB account, just need to wean myself off Amazon now. Don't use the other companies mentioned.
So. Where does everyone buy their petrol/diesel from? I'm sure we can dig plenty of dirt on BP, Esso etc......
Personally, I don't give a rats ass, but there you go.

They can legislate against specific examples of their cleverness as they emerge, and they do. But not as much as many of us would like.
