It is gratifying to see that Angela Rayner, who will be our next Prime Minister in the coming months, has given her full throated approval and support to tax avoidance (which, as I am regularly reminding loyal readers, is perfectly legal).
Quite the volte farce from her earlier pronouncements of tax avoidance.
This Damascene Moment came to her when she purchased her £800K second house in Hove. Originally her office were telling the media that this was her second home necessary for work, and that her main residence remained in Ashton-under-Lyme. However, that seems to have been changed as she is now claiming Hove is her only residence (thus saving her £40K on second home stamp duty); as she has removed her name from the deeds of the Ashton-under-Lyme property.
Oddly though, for council tax purposes, she has told Tameside council that she still lives at Ashton-under-Lyme thus ensuring she avoids paying second home premium on council tax on her property there.
Tax does have to be taxing.

She'd fit in well with the vermin at hmrc
"scumbag", "vermin", get a grip you shrieking great nancy-boy.
DeleteI agree with the sentiment of what you say. We taxpayers have had enough of our servants - amoral government politicians and the likes of HMRC servants - behaving as though they are our masters, all while doing as they please and, crucially, stealing our money, which is driving the erosion of basic living standards in this once great country.
DeleteThese people need to be put in their place - we must massively shrink the size of the bloated state.
Enough is enough.

DeleteAny news yet on the £15 billion the Tories handed out to their mates on dodgy PPE contracts?
I know, I know - that's 'different'!!!
If HMRC aren't investigating this forensically, it'll undermine tax compliance widely.
ReplyDeleteAny HMRC whistle-blowers willing to talk?
There is little need for a forensic investigation as the situation seems quite clear.
DeleteThe only real question mark appears to be the situation regarding Tameside council tax.
HMRC neither assesses nor collects council tax.
The public deserves transparency on this. Any MP who has broken the law should be removed. Britain needs reform.
Deleteavoidance is perfectly legal. The issue is that she, in the past, has slagged off people who have avoided tax.
DeleteI agree, Ken. The woman is a hypocrite. If the Labour Party had any sense they would have moved her in a cabinet reshuffle.
