It seems to me that those who are not given traits such as beauty or being wealthy are some of the nicest, kindest and generous people. While the "gorgeous" and well off seem to be the most arrogant and greedy people out there. Of course that's not to say there aren't beautiful kind people out there. I've been in the process of change for a while now and I have made some decent changes but don't you just hate it when people can't let go of your past mistakes.

Please continue to report on these findings. We heard about the Panama Papers but didn't hear much about the consequences. Apparently some people were made to pay back taxes and some people resigned. I don't remember hearing much.

It's actually very easy to find offshore investments and expensive possessions, if there is a will and a safe place to record, investigate and change, where necessary. Those are the challenges. Too many are turning blind-eyes, acquiescing and jumping on board; those are the secondary problems What would the world be like if everyone complied???

Then his dad died unexpectedly (aneurysm) and he got into government. I lost touch but he is probably living on the family estate in Bahamas never having paid tax in his entire life with a government pension the size of King Kong.

Pandora Papers Whistleblower Facebook Facebook Outage Interesting month 😂

Just to be clear, the stamp duty and property taxes on offshore owned property in the UK actually results in a higher tax rate and has done since the crash. So if i but a 20M pound house in london via an offshore entity i would pay an extra 2% plus a lot more in owners taxes than just the council tax. Being incorporated offshore can result in lower taxes but for most UHNW individuals, using such structures affords the moat paramount thing: security though privacy. If a property is known to owned and used by a royal or a UHNWI then the local law enforcement will have a much higher duty of care for securing it due to the increased likelihood of targeting of the property or the people (including staff) connected to the property. These issues are the core reason why most people choose offshore discrete corporate structures for ownership. They afford little in tax advantage in the UK and USA but reduce public costs in policing and afford the owner a higher level of security. The DPG in the UK would likely advise the same as if a property is know to be owned and used by a foreign head of state it would require a much higher presence both overt and covert to deal with. Re the Blairs and their office, it is normal for an office to be owned by a company and the historic norm for property holding companies to be purchased. The realisation of a tax will come on disposal for the Marylebone property as opposed to a corporate-headquarters of any other non UK company that sells its discretely held assets or itself in its entirety. If a french firm sells itself and it holds property, any duty that may be received will be received by France and will not benefit the UK. That is the nature of ownership rights

Further to this all offshore owners pay council tax but do not benefit from most council services resulting in yet another net gain.
