Yes, of course.  Nevertheless, we can watch anything on many different channels or sources.  
We could watch most of it without a BBC Licence, as most of it is not a live transmission and it is perfectly easy to avoid using any BBC service.

Maybe I should rephrase that. The very rich have accountants good enough that they are able to pay a far smaller percentage of their income than the average Joe on a high salary. Anybody on PAYE is pretty much hamstrung.

Yes and no .
Everyone  pays tax .
Tax accounts ( if they are any good ) will advise on ways of tax avoidance which is not illegal .

The two biggest tax dodgers in the country are probably King Charles and Prince William .
And earlier on the late Queen Elisabeth who only started to pay tax on her vast income in 1993;.
King Charles ( and his mother and grandfather before him ) paid not one penny in inheritance tax .
And when Charles dies nor will William .
Which is why their vast fortunes remain intact
Yet your average Joe pays 40% IHT on any part of his estate over £325k which owing to the price of houses is almost everyone who owns a house .

The royals family's financialaffairs are not public knowledge but you can bet it's very dodgy indeed

  . . .  In the meantime,  give us wave as you fly over Abington Park won't you.

Mups they do get tax relief but they are still giving away a lot of money .
As they could just pay the tax and keep the money .

Ie
A very rich man donates £1million to the local dog sanctuary.
He gets tax relief of 45%
The sanctuary gets £1million
It is not taxed .

45% of £1 million is £450,000

He could give nothing just pay the tax and keep £ 550,000

At least this is how I see it

I may well be wrong .

Good morning all.   Grey and chilly here today.

I had such a glorious, and long sleep last night,  why can't we do that every night.

Quote from: klondike on Today at 08:45:25 AMThat's true.

Yes,  but they also get tax relief for donating too.     

Anyway,  where on earth could you drive a car that takes off into the air?
