I think a hybrid of the two systems would be best, I agree that if it was what we have now or what the is the states them were better off work the NHS but I think it could be significantly better.

No confusion on my side actually. You come across as quite cold and calculating... nil sense of wanting to contribute to society, 100% about what's good for you. Therefore I don't think its appropriate for you to comment on Starbucks, Costas, etc, who certainly contribute more than you do to the UK.
I would really hope they do in absolute terms as they take out more money from the uk economy for their own needs than probably every professional gambler in the uk made last year. However i would be happy to have my largest wager of the year that i paid a higher % of my total uk based earnings in the last year in tax than starbuck's did on their equivalent figure. Are we including the employers NI payments as tax for Starbucks? And business rates? And VAT on the goods and services Starbucks buy? |

pretty sure coffee and hot drinks are VATable products, same with coffee beans.
They generate VAT though, for sure

not to forget employee's NI too, an indirect consequence of the salaries paid by Starbucks (Arbboy loves all things indirect so he'll allow that I reckon)

Nonetheless Starbucks have actively avoided paying tax in this country. As far as I can see arbboy isn't liable to pay tax. Is this right or am I missing something?
Do you work for Starbucks Dwayne? Or just really love their coffee?

VAT is so unfair, all I'm trying to do is spunk my untaxed income away buying shit and they whack 20% on everything.
I wanted a way bigger TV, 60" will have to do I guess, robbing bastards.

No VAT on children's clothing though so you are winning there  |
