In functioning markets costs on companies are only costs to consumers at one remove. To put it simply, if you make Sports Direct pay more, you pay more for your trainers, you make Amazon suffer, they will have to make you suffer.If you have popped into Waterstones recently I don`t think we actually do want to pay �40.00 for Richard Murphys "Joys of Tax"...do we ?
Or do we ?

In the interests of balance, please look at the below link about how Tony Benn avoided IHT on his �5m property. Only after he died do we discover has hypocritical a man he was.
ALL POLITICIANS (tory, labour, etc) are as bad as each other - another example is Tony Blair's job at JP Morgan and his tax arrangements.

I shall boycott Osborne & Little wallpaper immediately.
Tbh, I'd be more surprised to see that they paid whatever the going rate of corporation tax is.
The Benn case is somewhat different. Benn's arrangement made someone else (his children) richer, and only once. The Osborne arrangements make themselves richer, year after year.
As for the Blairs, they'll do anything to make and keep as much money as they can. They're stinking hypocrites, the pair of them.

Oh, grow up, ACT. How many people volunteer to pay more tax each month than they need to? O&L did nothing illegal as far as I can detect, so I'm just as guilty - in your eyes - because I paid spare revenue into my pension last year rather than merrily pay corporation tax on it!
And it's obviously fine for Benn to enrich his children (at least one of which does very nicely indeed at the expense of the public purse) because he's a leftie.
What utter nonsense.
