    So he moved his company out of the UK to avoid tax.

    Refusing to cover his share of building the infer structure his and other companies depend on. Also making it harder for non-shitty companies to compete.

    And now wonders why the UK is forced to reevaluate how taxing shitty idiots like this needs to work,

    Get wrecked.

    It's time we started standing up to the threats of big business and their little sob stories. And their cynical attempts at claiming harm on behalf of working people.

      Yeah like honestly, let them go broke. If they were doing anything useful, a small local business will probably pop up to fill the gap. And if they aren't, then it doesn't matter. And most of these big companies are dodging taxes anyway so it's not like we lose out there.

    I thought these idiots got sent back after Brexit, but I guess they weasled out of it.

    As someone working in a different EU country having business with Spain, I have to wonder why the Spanish tax authorities do everything that they can to make it impossible to pay taxes. It's insanely bureaucratic.

    If your want to pay them, you need to request (in Spanish) to make a payment, classify exactly what you're paying (using internal Spanish Tax Authority codes, which are not present in the letter) just to get a reference code that will identify your payment, and only after that are you given the information to actually make a euro zone payment, which is then set for payment at a specific date or otherwise it will fail.

    We owed them 0.57€ for interest on a periodical indiscrepancy and they still sent a stamped letter to let us know. Just the cost for them and us to do so easily runs into hundreds of euros for each part..

    Tax authorities in other countries either send out the necessary information to actually pay the claim or have a fixed payment account based on company number, so you can always pay and have it allocated correctly. Just give me the IBAN and a reference?!

    I can't even be bothered to start thinking about the various ways that this system can be fucked over, but here they are only accepting that method.

    Countries like Portugal, Spain, Greece, Cyprus, the Netherlands, and Malta

    All mentioned in the article as places you can go to avoid paying taxes. I wonder what they all have in common 🤔😂.
