I liked it at 17.5% as I could still calculate it in my head and everyone thinks it's some kind of wizardry. Any halfwit can calculate 20%
The one thing I expect from socialists is for them to pay the right amount tax because they lecture us on the costs of people not paying enough tax…
It just so happens Rayner’s political career is built on taxing the 1% more.
And she is paying the right amount of tax. She got advice. Paid the amount she was told. Got told the advice was wrong. Got new advice. Paid the new amount.
At no point has she tried to avoid tax. Read the statement and tell me at what point exactly you think she intentionally avoided tax.
As I said anyone who has had kids through divorce knows the question of “what’s your primary address” isn’t simple and consistent especially with a nesting arrangement like she had.
It’s Hove, actually.Of course she tried to avoid tax.
it’s nothing to do with primary address it’s if this is a second home.
Putting a property into a form of discretionary trust it itself is odd. It’s pretty obvious it was created with the intention of avoiding tax on a second property by claiming she doesn’t own the other one.
She then withdrew £165,000 out the trust to pay on the second home. So by definition she has BIK on the property as she has power of withdrawal. Her ex spouse clearly has as well so they have BIK on it. There is no way on earth a discussion when setting this trust up wasn’t had regarding tax implications if either trustee purchased another property. No way.
So it’s no different than people who form such trusts to avoid IHT - something Reeves is committed to stopping.
It’s a tax avoidance strategy - her nesting arrangements have nothing to do with it. The minute she extracted money from the trust while remaining a trustee shows it as such.
I’m as I’ve said sure her PR team said she was paying double council tax on the Brighton home so by every definition it’s a second home
Was she wrong to criticise Jeremy Hunt for saving on stamp duty using a tax ‘loophole?’And she is paying the right amount of tax. She got advice. Paid the amount she was told. Got told the advice was wrong. Got new advice. Paid the new amount.

Funnily enough, Angela Rayner was outraged enough to call for him to resign…I think the fact that many people are more outraged by Rayner being hypocritical than they were by Matt Hancock giving his pal 40 million quid goes a long way to explaining the state of the country.

Anyone involved in a scandal of this nature will get the heat. Rayner is no different and accusations of sexism or classism will wash.
The whole 'Beer Korma' nonsense was an attempt at false equivalence of violating Covid restrictions.I haven't said otherwise, I expect she will resign too.
My point was more people seem more angry about this than they did about Hancock and pals siphoning off millions of pounds to their mates.
In fact more people got more angry about Keir Starmer getting some new glasses than they did about Hancock

Mind you in clown state Britain Boy George keeps having a go at JK Rowling for her views on womens spaces so she counters by pointing out he got convicted for chaining a male prostitute to a radiator.Mmmm
At least we can all agree on one thing: everybody hates Matt Hancock
Boy George was right. “You’re really going to get it.” A year ago, in the dappled green of the well-lit telly jungle, the lead singer of Culture Club uttered thwww.thetimes.com
That's a slam dunk if ever there was one.Mind you in clown state Britain Boy George keeps having a go at JK Rowling for her views on womens spaces so she counters by pointing out he got convicted for chaining a male prostitute to a radiator.
Exactly. A basic stamp duty calculator would have told her she owed £70,000. If she was altruistic and consistent in her beliefs, she’d have paid it in full as a duty to the state. After all, she’s on record saying ‘tax avoidance costs lives’ and she’s already been accused of avoiding CTG on a property.I don’t even mind Rayner but there’s no going back if you make a stand on demanding others resign for tax indiscretion. There’s no sliding scale either - you try and avoid it or you don’t.
It’s no different to Dianne Abbott and the private school shambles. She dug herself deeper and deeper and ended up in ridicule
