hypochondriac Posted 20 May, 2019 Posted 20 May, 2019 Doesn't really tell us much. Would be good to speak to the author of the piece to see what his impressions were.
Saint Billy Posted 20 May, 2019 Posted 20 May, 2019 Thanks Delmary. Nothing much regarding saints but I suppose something is better than nothing.
John Boy Saint Posted 21 May, 2019 Posted 21 May, 2019 Sue Cook’s pulled out! Jeremy Kyle is twiddling his thumbs, might want something to keep him ticking over. Plus he does have a heap of Polygraphs and stuff that’ll be just collecting dust.

UK is well known abroad as a tax haven for the super rich. Good for them not good for any of us as their money is tied up in assets and so does not trickle down to stimulate the economy. Probably going to be ten times worse after we leave Europe. A form of prostitution really, if the price is right....
verlaine1979 Posted 21 May, 2019 Posted 21 May, 2019 'Move some of his investments' is a funny way to describe taking on £200m in high-interest debt.
benjii Posted 21 May, 2019 Posted 21 May, 2019 'Move some of his investments' is a funny way to describe taking on £200m in high-interest debt. Don't ask questions FFS. It's all fine. Yours, Prof. Pangloss.

We have no issue with wealthy Chinese owners investing money in football: our problem is that Gao doesn't seem to have any.

CB Fry Posted 21 May, 2019 Posted 21 May, 2019 Fantastic to get such in depth insight into the man, his business and what drives him and a real sense of clarity on his vision for the club. What an interview, well done to all concerned.
Nolan Posted 21 May, 2019 Posted 21 May, 2019 Make sense. Everything is very volatile in China, so when putting money into Southampton as long as we maintain Premier League status, he has a pretty stable asset.

A form of prostitution really, if the price is right....[/quote The UK is far from being a tax haven for the rich it is pretty far up the list of countries taxation wise when you consider together income tax social security contributions, local taxes, capital gains VAT and inheritance taxes however you look at it? The reason rich foreigners invest in the UK is not the lack of tax but the the fact the UK is relatively stable (Even with Brexit) and a country of strong laws when compared to where they come from. So it is the lack of risk they are usually looking for not the lack of tax that affords their assets protection. If You want a tax haven there are plenty of much more efficient tax havens to move to starting close by with the Channel Islands, Isle of man, Monaco to those further away such as Caymen Islands Bahamas Bermuda the Gulf Arabian states like Dubai. Even the united states is a far better place than the UK if you are looking to pay less tax.

TWar Posted 23 May, 2019 Posted 23 May, 2019 Uk a tax haven. [emoji38][emoji38]We have the 4th lowest corporation tax in Europe, only behind Ireland, Iceland and Hungary. And we have quite a lot more embedded resources than them. Other countries like Germany and France with our level of infrastructure have tax rates almost double ours (34% and 30% respectively to our 19%). And that's not even including the mad amount of tax loopholes we have which can be easily exploited, ones which the government delib keeps open. After the recession the tories made us completely bend over to business and screwed the worker with austerity.

TWar Posted 23 May, 2019 Posted 23 May, 2019 Also, just to correct the record. Those of you discussing things like income tax, national insurance contribution, VAT or any other personal tax. Those don't apply as the person pays there personal tax in the country of residence. Only corporation tax is paid in the country the corporation is based. It's why most big companies, even ones originating from the UK, have their CEO's based in the personal tax havens. So to reiterate, rich people live in personal tax havens and stimulate their economy with the money, but base their companies here because we are one of the worlds foremost business tax havens.
Charlie Wayman Posted 23 May, 2019 Posted 23 May, 2019 Thanks for saving me the time to explain that to the too fast on the finger brigade like Shance and CaptainChris
