It isn't *necessary* to get a discount for cash in order to profit from avoiding/evading the payment of VAT by paying "cash, no questions asked". Unpaid VAT is not a discount. > *Other* individuals can and do benefit from cash deals with no > traceable receipt, but I am not one of them. Not actually the issue (and I credit you for now having answered the question), but given the above, why not? It isn't necessary to get a discount to benefit from VAT evasion. > In fact, due to this, I actually lose out in the long run, since the > Govt's total tax take is reduced, therefore I will end up paying more > in tax in other areas to make up the shortfall. So far from > "profiting" as you all it, my honesty costs me money. You haven't shown that, you have asserted it without supporting reasoning or evidence. But that isn't important; it was not the individual case I was asking about.

I think it's most amusing that someone working for bp complains about other people perpetrating rip-offs and environmental damage and rattles on about how he's saving the planet by cycling.

We are actually constructing a world scale bioethanol plant at our site so that when you fill up your car, some of the fuel will come from wheat and not oil. -- Simon Mason

"MasonS(a)BP.com" <MasonS(a)BP.com> gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying: > We are actually constructing a world scale bioethanol plant at our site > so that when you fill up your car, some of the fuel will come from wheat > and not oil. I thought most pump unleaded was pretty damn close to the maximum (5%) bio component allowed under BS EN 228 already? Likewise with whatever the standard is for ULSDiesel? |
