The consensus of society at large.

Would you say that tax avoidance isn't avoiding the moral obligation to contribute to society?

People who say things like "well the law allows it so it's fine" are selfish, weak and immoral.

How is that accurately measured and interpreted?

Usually through polling. Aye, I know!

But they suggest that an overwhelming majority of people in the UK are against legal tax avoidance.

Now how about you answer the question in my post since I've had no trouble answering yours.

You are on very dodgy ground. You're just not aware of the world or yourself enough to realise it.

I don't blame you. I used to know a lot more when I was young too.

So instead of answering the question you're pulling the "You're not old enough to understand" card.

Didn't work when Greedy or TOM gave me it, doesn't work when you do either marra.

Can you answer the question or not?

Oh and can someone give me some reasons why I'm too young to possibly understand this? When will I be old enough?

If I thought your mind was anywhere near open enough I might give it a go but I seriously can't be arsed to explain why we do not have a single moral truth or commonly held moral authority outside of the rule of law.

It would take too long and you'd only reply with your recently learned opinions based on absolute certainties as you know them.

Sorry to be patronising but I've had my teens and twenties.

If you're unable to answer the question as to whether it's morally acceptable to avoid tax and thus deprive the state of essential funds that's fine.
 
Marxist scum government expecting company's to pay tax. This is why we can't compete on a world stage.

That's easy - I think it's more than morally acceptable. I think there is a moral obligation to minimise ones tax to that which is legally applicable.

The state takes more than 40% of GDP so on what basis do you say tax avoidance deprives the state of ESSENTIAL funds?

Something to do with the fact that individuals and organisations avoiding tax are reaping the benefits of taxation and not paying back sufficiently.

Essential funds because we're f***ing broke, marra. We could do with a few pennies extra.

You're case is all over the place. On what basis are you saying people only paying g the tax that is legally owed are reapi g benefits they are not paying "sufficiently" too?

Essential is subjective too.

Look - it's clear I'm wasting my time here. You're incapable of seeing the argument when you live in such a black and white world.

By all means let's chat when you're a bit older and have a clue.

Because you can legally drastically minimise the tax you pay through a series of convoluted financial procedures and loopholes that requires a team of accountants to do, whilst at the same time, building your wealth on the back of a well-functioning society that functions well due to state intervention (which is reliant on tax income to provide).

You can pull the 'not old enough/student/whatever' card all you want marra, it's a cop out though.
