Is it legal?

Yes - Have a clear conscience read on.....


The average UK citizen works from New Year's Day to May 24th solely to pay their taxes. Effectively, for a third of a year everyone in this country is a civil servant. Income tax, national insurance, VAT, corporation tax, capital gains tax ... tax, tax, tax, the list is endless. And this goes on year after year! This happens all the way through your life. And after tax has been deducted, the little that remains is taxed again! If you spend it you're taxed. If you save it you're taxed. Consider the following:.


Of £100 earned, 10% is paid in National Insurance contributions (nothing but a euphemism for an additional tax on income) and 22% is paid in Income Tax (40% for higher rate taxpayers). Of the remaining £68 of take-home pay let's say that over a week you spend it thus:

Sound reasonable? Obviously 100% of the last two items are wholly tax. Five per cent of your electric bill goes to the taxman and 4% of any money you pay to protect yourself with insurance. Of the £23 you spend at the flicks and eating out, 17.5% goes to the government in VAT. While you're enjoying yourself, so is the Treasury; they take £4.03 from you for the evening.

35% of a well-deserved drink goes direct to our masters, and a recent AA campaign followed by the picketing of oil refineries serves to remind us that a staggering 85% of the money spent on petrol is snatched by the taxman. Eighty five per cent! But even that is not the worst. The state loves a smoker, of course, and from the money spent on cigarettes an astonishing 88.9% enters its coffers.

It brings tears to the eyes. Altogether, a full £32.31 of that week's expenses goes straight to the taxman.

Of the £100 earned, £64.31 will have been paid to the government in tax. At the end of the day, all you will have to show for it is £35.69 in goods and services. A higher-rate taxpayer will retain a miserly £21.69.

We haven't even taken into consideration the host of taxes on business, employers national insurance contributions, airport taxes, capital gains tax ... and then there's stamp duty, where you hand over thousands just because you decide to move house!

If y ou think that taxation is already a serious bane, well, we have news for you... it's going to get a lot worse.

There is a raft of legislation being brought in by the government and the powers of the now conjoined 'Her Majesties Revenue and Customs' (HMRC) are about to be made 'draconian' by anyones standards!

 

There Is An Alternative?

You can avoid paying taxes. Now! It's as simple as that... but you have to know exactly how to go about it in the correct way. Don't you have a duty to yourself, your business, your family and your children to protect your resources?

Please don't misunderstand us. We arenot suggesting anyone breaks the law. To evade tax is illegal. But to avoid tax is perfectly legal. Why risk breaking the law when it can be done legally and without using any loopholes?

Perhaps you're worried about the moral implications of avoiding tax? After all, every citizen needs to contribute to defence, the National Health Service, road-building programmes, the emergency services, the maintenance of embassies and consulates in every country of the world, street lighting, foreign aid, our subsidy to the common agricultural policy. We shall let the lawmakers themselves put your mind at rest.

 

Firstly, Law Lord, Lord Clyde:

"No man in the country is under the smallest obligation, moral or other, so to arrange his legal relations to his business or property as to enable the Inland Revenue to put the largest possible shovel in his stores. The Inland Revenue is not slow – and quite rightly – to take every advantage which is open to it under the Taxing Statutes for the purpose of depleting the taxpayer's pocket. And the taxpayer is in like manner entitled to be astute to prevent, so far as he honestly can, the depletion of his means by the Inland Revenue.”

And, secondly, wise counsel from US Judge Learned Hand:

"There is nothing sinister in so arranging one's affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor; all do right. Nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands; taxes are enforced extractions, not voluntary contributions!”

 

Again, to re-state: there is a big difference between avoidance and evasion – the former is perfectly legal, the latter is against the law.

 

In Many Cases Paying Tax Is Entirely A Question Of Personal Choice

If you enjoy paying tax then fine. Keep doing it. We have no problem with that. If you don't think you pay enough then just write out a cheque to The Government. They won't send a thankyou note, but they'll cash it and spend it anyway.

 

Alternatively, you can wait until election day and put your cross in the box and hope that things will get better, and in the meantime continue to do exactly what you're told. If you grumble about paying too much tax then you have only yourself to blame! The Revenue relies on people blithely accepting the inevitable, when there's nothing inevitable about it.

 

Make a choice right now, stop grumbling and take action. Sending for our info pack could be one of the single most profitable activities you will do.....and it won't cost you anything to do it!!
