Would you buy a used car from this man?
Would you buy a car from a DJ?
This story has appeared on several news sites. The DJ Chris Moyles was trying to pass himself off as a used car dealer in an attempt to avoid tax. Free usage image from Wikipedia by Rabbro http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/26297943 http://http://www.telegraph.co.uk/ne...1-million.html Talk about bringing the trade into disrepute! It's reported he has learnt a valuable lesson from the episode. Stick to the music mate! He raised millions for Comic Relief so it's a bit sad he's got caught up in this mad scheme. |

Chris Moyles @CHRISDJMOYLES Feb 21 I want to comment about a recent tribunal tax ruling. Chris Moyles @CHRISDJMOYLES Feb 21 Upon advice, I signed up to a scheme which I was assured was legal. Despite this, my knowledge of the dealings of the scheme were naive. Chris Moyles @CHRISDJMOYLES Feb 21 I'm not a tax expert and acted on advice I was given. This was a mistake and I accept the ruling without reservation. Chris Moyles @CHRISDJMOYLES Feb 21 I take full responsibility and have learnt a valuable lesson. |

But tax avoidance is not tax evasion. Many would avoid tax given the opportunity.

I buy new then keep for 10 years. Everytime I've done the math it has worked out for me. I do enjoy the creature comforts of driving a new car and knowing everything that has happened to it.
Just bought used chevrolet for my son. Once he earns on a new car by himself, I let him buy a new one |

I pay my income tax- those who avoid theirs by lying are parasites at best and thieves at worse. And I bet they complain they have to wait for a GP appt. or the Police didn't attend quickly enough-etc etc. Chris S.

I hope I'm right on this and if I am does it make people a parasite. I will use made up figures for ease option 1 You earn £3,000 a month you pay 20% tax you take home £2400 a month option 2 you earn £3,000 a month you put 1/3 (£1,000) into AVC, additional voluntary contribution.. pension you have £2,000 you are taxed 20% you take home £1,600 options 1 and 2 go on for 5 years. 5 x 12 = 60, you have put £60,000 into AVC. You retire and take the £60,000 tax free. you have (5 x 12) x £600 = £36,000 more with option 2 then with 1 after 5 years. £36,000 less tax given to the government, £36,000 more in your pocket. tax "avoidance" and legal. macafee2 |

Me, I'm planning on living for more than 4 years when I retire. I think you missed a zero out somewhere: £600,000 is a much more realistic pension pot.
- Best get saving!
