    I take it you're going to make cheap shots at my typo then, rather than address the substance of my comment? Ah, a good argument indeed.:rolleyes:

    Your the one who makes cheap shots at typos or have you forgot your response to Really2:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    That is a spelling mistake, not a typo. I just thought it quite funny that he said he was about to embarrass me, but then didn't spell it right.

    What the hell do you think corporation tax is. 30% no matter the size of the business.

    Just because YOU do not pay it does not mean it does not exist and does not affect the tax burden of the country.

    Look at your chart again not just taking in to account personal tax.:rolleyes:

    What the hell? You don't address the points in my previous email, and now, out of the blue, you start banging on about corporation tax? Is that your way of having a discussion - ignoring points you can't reply to, and then randomly changing the direction of the conversation?

    When the hell did I imply that corporation tax "does not exist"??

    And I suggest that you have another look at the table. We have the same level of corporate taxation, or lower, than the following countries: Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Monaco, New Zealand, Spain, and in some instances, the USA. And many more developing countries.

    If you go off on a random tangent again, I'm not going to reply to you, as I'll be forced to assume you're a lunatic.

    Now you are talking out of your @ss they are mostly staggered and you know it, it is on your nice link.:rolleyes: (Notice i said no matter the size earlier)
    It is not a random tangent do you think a company does not reclaim the cost of corporate tax through good you purchase.:rolleyes:

    You realy need to switch on to what taxes are and how you pay them directly or indirectly (like I said earlier)

    Now can you stop throwing your toys out or someone could fall over them;)

    PS out of those countries also compare the ones with high corporate tax and their peronal tax then see where we come.

    Oi. Stop bickering.

    http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/44/41/39494985.pdf

    Roughly in the middle for Europe (or a tad lower than the unweighted Euro 15, if you want to be picky), although the tax burden in the UK seems certain to go up, up, up.

    ; We import and consume vastly more than we produce and most of the 'Product' in our GDP has been in financial management, retail/services and selling increasingly overpriced houses to each other with borrowed cash. We've seen how well that has turned out.

    .

    Whilst we import more than we export, it is certainly not "vastly" more.
    Some people would have you believe we export nothing & import everything.

    The same for consumption, you would hardly describe it as vastly more.

    The selling of one house and re-selling it has nothing at all to do with GDP.

    You have seem to miss out indirect tax.

    Council Tax, TV Licence, Petrol, Deisel, stamp duty, beer, etc, etc, etc.
    It doesn't include National Insurance either, which is a bit of a farce.

    Because no other country pays it. Must mean it is not a tax;) .
