Here's one for blighty; Philip Green, the bloke who owns Top Shop didn't pay any income tax on a £1.2bn dividend in 2005. None. Unless he paid himself a salary that year, in addition to the £1.2bn dividend, the largest in corporate history, then the people who clean Top Shop paid more income tax than he did. That's for two reasons – firstly because he said that all of his £1.2bn earnings belong to his missus, who was registered in Monaco and secondly because he's an arsehole. The money he's nicked through legal loopholes would pay the annual salary for 20,000 NHS nurses. It's not illegal; it's systemic, British people who voted, voted for it. I'm not voting for that.

Jesus christ..I didnt realise it was that bad.
My father in law is currently being chased for around 5k tax debt..he (or his accountant) made a mistake when doing the tax return forms. His business went bankrupt not long after the smoking ban came in(because of it I think...) and he doesn't have the money to pay as it as a long time ago..and they are completely hounding him. Shame he didnt owe millions, could have been left alone then
