    Take That HMR&C!

    Take That singers 'invested £26m in scheme to be challenged over tax avoidance' - Telegraph


    It always makes me chuckle that most of those involved in dodging tax and social responsibility are media types, lefty bleeding heart liberals.

    Ooooh look.... "There is no suggestion that the scheme is illegal." from the article.

      That looks like it might well be a very large tax bill indeed.
      I'm alright Jack

        ******* ******s!

        Perhaps it should not be legal to offset losses - if you are that fooking stupid to lose money then you deserve it.

          Don't you get a rebate for your R&D work from HMRC?

          We do.

            Yes we used it a bit (insignificant amounts), it's totally pathetic and misleading - I probably would not even bother applying next year.

            Patents on the other hand can be handy ...

              From the article

              “In our 2010 spending review the Government made £917m available to us to tackle avoidance, evasion and fraud. This is being used to ensure a level playing field for all taxpayers.”

              How much will they recover - will it be greater than £917m

                  In that case you've just admitted using a tax avoidance scheme. Burn him!

                    It's not a tax avoidance scheme but a very small, super tiny token of appreciation from Govt for all the investment we do right now at the time when some people prefer to just trade stocks and make money from hot air.
