this is kind of like chanting "eat you greens" at one child who refuses to do so, the problem is not the child who refuses, the problem is that the rest of them were forced and submitted to doing something they didnt want to do, we should all stop eating our greens if we dont want to..
Ok, I'm in total agreement of the people who are actually dodging tax should be made to pay. Also the banks as well but what people are forgetting is that it was the labour party who got us in to this fucking mess. They spent all our money and sold of gold at its lowest ever price in history. And even if we do make this money of the rich and the banks it won't be enough. Yes things like benefits and EMA shouldn't be cut but some things can be. the money from the cuts should invested in industry
You people play into the hands of politicians, you spoil the hard work 250,000 people done to get there massage to British nation. click Justice party UK.
Look at all the police protecting the shops, the shops that pay nearly nothing in taxes being protected by the police that are paid for by our taxes, ironic aint it ?
tax enforcement society? when did anyone of those doleites pay a tax or work a day in their lifes....should have stood and pissed on the squatters....what knobs
@antiWhinging So it's ok for Top Shop and the rest to avoid their tax bills is it? These are the future tax payers, they'll be paying taxes and the interest on the huge loans they need just to get an education for years to come you knob, live up to your name and stop whingeing.
@trifelgeputinage they are students by choice... probably to escape going out to work for a while longer so mummy and daddy can keep them...my respect goes out to the security doing the vermin control..well done
@antiWhinging Students by choice eh? If they don't go to uni then maybe they could get jobs as security guards, then you could respect them for being dumb lackeys. Watch out for the vermin, whinger, they might just take over the sewer.
fucking well done ,if every one made a stand against these greedy cunts a lot better of we would be .lets keep it up this summer.the only people who disagree are the stupidly thick and the bosses.
to all the haters saying that 'this achieves nothing' have a think about what your saying,most people are un aware that these companies pay less of a percentage of tax than an average working person does. once people become aware they will stop shopping and these places. if big business paid its fair share thousands of public sector workers would keep there jobs instead loosing them in the proposed cuts..... .vote with your wallet and stop using these companies
Saw your spread in the Guardian this weekend about tax avoidance! Wondering if you will be adding the Guardian to your list of targets for tax avoidance? In 2008 the Guardian made £302 million in profits and paid no corporation taxes! I guess with it being a Left wing paper and your protest being purely political nothing will be said to them? ;)
This is the coolest shit I've ever seen. You gotta shut down business altogether or otherwise it's just Business As Usual.
We need to revolt against our corporate masters worldwide and end this disease we call capitalism. It's time we got real direct democracy across the economic and political spheres instead of choosing btw a handful of lousy parties and tyrannical corporations.
@kalifire it's difficult to measure what it achieves. The real cause is the entire system. Topshop is one 'small' part of the problem. This might raise awareness of problems but.. I don't know. Real civil disobedience is the only route I see working. Tax in itself is a violent system, much of it used for the war machine.. so 'paying tax' isn't the solution. The solution is a fundamental change in our values, culture and psychology. Children must stop being indoctrinated into this system too..
Big Bussiness VAT dodge!! In Jersey the so called offshore fulfilment industry and the exploitation of LVCR is affecting thousands of small mainland UK businesses.The Treasury has told the BBC it is actively reviewing the operation of a tax relief blamed for forcing small UK retailers to close.
We are not all in this together. soon greed will also envelop the NHS is we do not fight back
We all know about Phillip Green and his practices. He has throughout his business life, from the hostile takeover of Sears to the insider trading with the false takeover of M&S, of which he was investigated and subsequently cleared, suprise suprise been a thief, liar. Money taken out of the economy has to be made up from somewhere. we are now making up his and others shortfall. I hope with all that money he has to buy pills and medical treatment for him and his involved conspiring family.
This ladies and gents, is what happens when the children of the revolution kick in - we reveal the brutality, lies and NONE democratic POLICE NAZI STATE.
Are private security guards allowed to man-handle people if no crime has been committed? As far as I know they only have the normal citizens arrest "powers" that anyone else has. Isn't forced abduction a criminal offence? What they should have done is call the police who would then decide if a crime had been committed. Have these thug security guards been arrested yet? This video is evidence of a CRIME. ;)
@C0D4Glitch3r excellent work of posting a comment on YT and achieving nothing. These children really should just shut up and use their vote every four years to achieve nothing instead, they should sing their songs on X Factor - if they win they'll be able to afford to pay for their education. Lets all just shut up and do nothing and achieve nothing, send the lot of them to labour camps like they do in China. Cheap Jeans for everyone! Tax the poor not the rich, we need war not education.

We dont get healthcare for free, we pay 3 times more for less than Germany through national insurance. I work hard and pay taxes, If everyone did the same all would be fine. It is people like Philip Green who are robbing society, and letting all the rest pick up the bill.
Tax is illegal if not collected for the use of public services but the governmnet use them to fund world private projects wars and the EU and palaces for the likes of Muggabbe its a fraud and you are all being robbed the private cartels are laughing all the way to the bank.

@witheshaw what do 'they all say' ? that they are The Guardian? - ... don't think I've come across that one up till now. However, could you hand us over some sources for your numbers because my info is that GMG is on approx £100m pre tax loss pa.
Tax is yours & my fee for belonging to a civilised society. If you don't like civilisation or society, dodge your tax. Obama decried dodgers of Green's stripe on his campaign to the W House. Wonderful UK Uncut should link up with Christian Aid, campaigners for years against international tax dodging by multinational corporations. CA calculates multinationals siphon £160 billion a year away from less developed nations' income. Over half of the world's 90 or so tax havens are British dependencies.
what a load of idiots, aracadia who own topshop employ 10's of thousands of people and pay millions in taxes in the form of corporation tax, if the owner doesn;t live in the UK then why should they pay income tax as well? this protest will benifit nobody, privately owned businesses like these benefit our economy and provide jobs to huge amounts of people. grow the hell up and find something better to do with your time
@telaverzion When you express your opinion by way of disrupting businesses and wasting police time you impose costs on the rest of us. Polluter should pay and you are a polluter.
@witheshaw You say polluters should pay? So would you agree that avaiation fuel should be taxed? Currently it costs the UK government 10bn a year to subsidise fuel for that toxic industry.
@GrowBagUK I'm not sure how you got your figures, but I am very much in favour of tax on airline fuel to be consistent with motor fuels - quid pro quo being to abolish passenger taxes.
@telaverzion i'm not saying people shouldnt have the right to express opinion, i'm saying its an unjust protest, the man is breaking no laws, arcadia contributes to the economy through corporation tax, providing minimum wage or not he keeps thousands of people employed, people who otherwise would be entitled to tax payers cash. its time the people looked up to those who've worked hard to make something of themselves and not resent them for it.
@telaverzion moral responsibilities? what a load of tosh, so should we morally forfeit the tax free allowance we all get? waiver our tax credit entitlements? no? thought not. the moral responsibility should be on the shoudlers of those not contributing anything to the tax system. right now in the uk there are nearly 800,000 long term unemployed, that is those out of work for more than 12 months. why dont you jokers organise a protest to get those workshy types to get a job and pay a share?
@telaverzion i dont see your argument? if you think sir philip should be paying personal tax then its up to the government to change the laws, until then he is doing nothing morally wrong and is meeting his responsibilities as a tax payer and law obiding citizen. privately owned business is the driving force needed to pull us out of recession, less money needs to be spent on public services and give private enterprise some breathing space to create jobs and expand
@telaverzion morality is innate in all of us, but this shouldnt come down to morals, the man has broken no laws. we have an elected government where laws are often decided with morality in mind. he gifted his business to his wife who is neither a uk citizen nor resident, he has no case to answer and i believe that if these people are hassled and taxed even more then they will invest profits in businesses abroad in future
@ruskito2003 Tax credits are an admission that industry won't pay a proper living-wage. Basically more subsidies from the government so big-business can continue making record profits and siphoning off greater bonuses.
Really quite cowardly of you to point the finger at those people who this society has failed.
@telaverzion moral responsibilities? what a load of tosh, so should we morally forfeit the tax free allowance we all get? waiver our tax credit entitlements? no? thought not. the moral responsibility should be on the shoudlers of those not contributing anything to the tax system. right now in the uk there are nearly 800,000 long term unemployed, that is those out of work for more than 12 months. why dont you jokers organise a protest to get those workshy types to get a job and pay a share?
@ruskito2003 the tax that a company is supposed to pay is calculated based on their revenue. Tax avoidance tactics make it impossible for a government to correctly cost how much income it has in relation to its spending. If the companies in question had paid their taxes then there would be less need for cuts since the money due to come in would have covered much of the cost.
Instead we have corporate cock-sucking whores like you betraying your country.. Fuck off to Somalia (no taxes there).
@chunkylimey where do i start? tax that companies pay is based on profits made and not revenue, the more profit a company makes the more tax it pays, if the directors decide to take a dividend from the business and they are not a uk citizen then tough luck.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
These protests are the height of stupidity. Tax is a matter of law. Meanwhile more companies relocate their operations to avoid the UK's high taxes (see Kraft).
@witheshaw Tax is a matter of law - and these laws are made and changed by humans - they are not an inherent characteristic of the universe. UK law could be tightened in many ways to prevent such off-shore transfers and HMRC directed to prioritise these multi-million pound tax avoiders and evaders.
UK corporation tax is significantly lower than that in Germany, France or Italy and is due to fall further.
@benuk100 Rubbish. You can't make overseas residents pay tax on their income. The natural conclusion to your 'campaign' is to invade Monaco and seize the property you seem to think should belong to the UK.
@benuk100 No law can stop companies moving overseas, we need a growing private sector to create employment. Under Labour the private sector stagnated while the public sector grew at an alarming rate, the result was a massive national debt that costs billions in interest alone. As Daniel Hannan said "You can't keep squeezing the productive part of the economy to fund the unproductive.
@oblivionuk You coveniently forget the reckless banks and their derivatives casino are the real cause of the UK's debt - remember the £850bn bail-out? They stripped all the assets with their big fat bonuses and now the taxpayer is expected to foot the bill. By all means, point your finger at the inadequacies of the last government, but you are only fooling yourself if you think they are wholly responsible
@GrowBagUK I haven't "conveniently forgotten" anything, our national debt was running at record levels before the bail outs. The private sector stagnated under Labour, nearly all the growth over those 13 years was in the public sector. The economy under Labour was built on ever increasing debt, both public and private. You can not have high levels of public spending without a strong private sector to fund it, something that idiot Brown still doesn't understand.
@ufewl Labour reduced debt? no one in the right mind believes that, even Labour didn't try that one on during the election. The rich do pay tax, they just don't pay more than they have to. Would you volunteer to pay more tax? I know I wouldn't.
The rich aren't subsidised by the poor, they don't need to be. I notice those middle class students are happy to have those struggling on minimum wage subsidise their education, is that acceptable?
@oblivionuk they did reduce debt, google image "uk debt" and you will see they had lower debt than the tories. It was only after the banking crisis when Labour took on the debts of the banks that debt rose. Thus Capitalist debt increased socialist debt.
That's a fact. You are 100% wrong.
The corrupt rich bribe government's to allow them to pay virtually no tax. Thats also a fact. I am taking responsibility fro my self by ensure in the rich pay their fair share of tax. It's only fair.
I think the point Witheshaw is making is that the idiots protesting here will have absolutely no effect whatsoever. Companies have been and always paying as little tax as possible using loopholes.They aren't breaking any laws. Any company who chooses to pay more tax than necessary would be incompetent and be a commercial failure. If you want to do something about this go to the head offices of the HMRC who can try and close the loopholes. Although the companies will always win :)
@benuk100 'Tax is a matter of law-and these law are made and changed by HUMANS-THEY ARE NOT AN INHERENT CHARACTERISTIC OF THE UNIVERSE.' That should be engraved.
@witheshaw So if you have got the money for a good accountant you can get away with paying what everyone else has to pay? Thank you for your post it is an excellent example that Class War is the only option..
@witheshaw Don't try to defend tax dodging with that business relocating elsewhere claptrap. It won't wash. Companies should pay taxes where ever they are and it should be a fair rate - at lease 40 - 50 per cent for someone making £2bn and dodging tax by declaring profit in Monaco.
@witheshaw Corporation tax should be levied at an equal rate across the globe so there is no hiding place for greedy, jabba-the-hut-like, money grabbers like Philip Green.
@northbanksy the man isnt dodging corporation tax so your point is not valid, CT is based on profits so the business has paid its uk taxes and not avoided them, the money you are arguing about is money taken in dividends by the owner of arcadia who is neither a uk resident or citizen. if you feel so strongly about the issue of tax then protest to the government and not the people sticking to the laws.
lol well done protestors. I love the songs! It's about time we did something, i wish i was there.

@witheshaw what do 'they all say' ? that they are The Guardian? - ... don't think I've come across that one up till now. However, could you hand us over some sources for your numbers because my info is that GMG is on approx £100m pre tax loss pa.

Tax is yours & my fee for belonging to a civilised society. If you don't like civilisation or society, dodge your tax. Obama decried dodgers of Green's stripe on his campaign to the W House. Wonderful UK Uncut should link up with Christian Aid, campaigners for years against international tax dodging by multinational corporations. CA calculates multinationals siphon £160 billion a year away from less developed nations' income. Over half of the world's 90 or so tax havens are British dependencies.

what a load of idiots, aracadia who own topshop employ 10's of thousands of people and pay millions in taxes in the form of corporation tax, if the owner doesn;t live in the UK then why should they pay income tax as well? this protest will benifit nobody, privately owned businesses like these benefit our economy and provide jobs to huge amounts of people. grow the hell up and find something better to do with your time

@telaverzion When you express your opinion by way of disrupting businesses and wasting police time you impose costs on the rest of us. Polluter should pay and you are a polluter.

@witheshaw You say polluters should pay? So would you agree that avaiation fuel should be taxed? Currently it costs the UK government 10bn a year to subsidise fuel for that toxic industry.

@GrowBagUK I'm not sure how you got your figures, but I am very much in favour of tax on airline fuel to be consistent with motor fuels - quid pro quo being to abolish passenger taxes.

@telaverzion i'm not saying people shouldnt have the right to express opinion, i'm saying its an unjust protest, the man is breaking no laws, arcadia contributes to the economy through corporation tax, providing minimum wage or not he keeps thousands of people employed, people who otherwise would be entitled to tax payers cash. its time the people looked up to those who've worked hard to make something of themselves and not resent them for it.

@telaverzion moral responsibilities? what a load of tosh, so should we morally forfeit the tax free allowance we all get? waiver our tax credit entitlements? no? thought not. the moral responsibility should be on the shoudlers of those not contributing anything to the tax system. right now in the uk there are nearly 800,000 long term unemployed, that is those out of work for more than 12 months. why dont you jokers organise a protest to get those workshy types to get a job and pay a share?

@telaverzion i dont see your argument? if you think sir philip should be paying personal tax then its up to the government to change the laws, until then he is doing nothing morally wrong and is meeting his responsibilities as a tax payer and law obiding citizen. privately owned business is the driving force needed to pull us out of recession, less money needs to be spent on public services and give private enterprise some breathing space to create jobs and expand

@telaverzion morality is innate in all of us, but this shouldnt come down to morals, the man has broken no laws. we have an elected government where laws are often decided with morality in mind. he gifted his business to his wife who is neither a uk citizen nor resident, he has no case to answer and i believe that if these people are hassled and taxed even more then they will invest profits in businesses abroad in future

@ruskito2003 Tax credits are an admission that industry won't pay a proper living-wage. Basically more subsidies from the government so big-business can continue making record profits and siphoning off greater bonuses.
Really quite cowardly of you to point the finger at those people who this society has failed.

@ruskito2003 the tax that a company is supposed to pay is calculated based on their revenue. Tax avoidance tactics make it impossible for a government to correctly cost how much income it has in relation to its spending. If the companies in question had paid their taxes then there would be less need for cuts since the money due to come in would have covered much of the cost.
Instead we have corporate cock-sucking whores like you betraying your country.. Fuck off to Somalia (no taxes there).

@chunkylimey No. Tax is based on profits not revenue. If you can't even get that right, why should anyone listen you what you have to say?
witheshaw 1 year ago
@chunkylimey where do i start? tax that companies pay is based on profits made and not revenue, the more profit a company makes the more tax it pays, if the directors decide to take a dividend from the business and they are not a uk citizen then tough luck.

These protests are the height of stupidity. Tax is a matter of law. Meanwhile more companies relocate their operations to avoid the UK's high taxes (see Kraft).

@witheshaw Tax is a matter of law - and these laws are made and changed by humans - they are not an inherent characteristic of the universe. UK law could be tightened in many ways to prevent such off-shore transfers and HMRC directed to prioritise these multi-million pound tax avoiders and evaders.
UK corporation tax is significantly lower than that in Germany, France or Italy and is due to fall further.

@benuk100 Rubbish. You can't make overseas residents pay tax on their income. The natural conclusion to your 'campaign' is to invade Monaco and seize the property you seem to think should belong to the UK.
witheshaw 1 year ago
@benuk100 No law can stop companies moving overseas, we need a growing private sector to create employment. Under Labour the private sector stagnated while the public sector grew at an alarming rate, the result was a massive national debt that costs billions in interest alone. As Daniel Hannan said "You can't keep squeezing the productive part of the economy to fund the unproductive.
oblivionuk 1 year ago
@oblivionuk You coveniently forget the reckless banks and their derivatives casino are the real cause of the UK's debt - remember the £850bn bail-out? They stripped all the assets with their big fat bonuses and now the taxpayer is expected to foot the bill. By all means, point your finger at the inadequacies of the last government, but you are only fooling yourself if you think they are wholly responsible
GrowBagUK 1 year ago
@GrowBagUK I haven't "conveniently forgotten" anything, our national debt was running at record levels before the bail outs. The private sector stagnated under Labour, nearly all the growth over those 13 years was in the public sector. The economy under Labour was built on ever increasing debt, both public and private. You can not have high levels of public spending without a strong private sector to fund it, something that idiot Brown still doesn't understand.
oblivionuk 1 year ago
@oblivionuk that is rubbish labour reduced debt, it is the banking bail out which will cost a trillion pounds plus that caused all the debt.
The rich got off with paying no tax under labour that can't continue because they have all the money.
The rich must pay tax just like everyone else, why shoud the poor subsidise them?
ufewl 1 year ago
@ufewl Labour reduced debt? no one in the right mind believes that, even Labour didn't try that one on during the election. The rich do pay tax, they just don't pay more than they have to. Would you volunteer to pay more tax? I know I wouldn't.
The rich aren't subsidised by the poor, they don't need to be. I notice those middle class students are happy to have those struggling on minimum wage subsidise their education, is that acceptable?
Start taking responsibility for yourselves.
oblivionuk 1 year ago
@oblivionuk they did reduce debt, google image "uk debt" and you will see they had lower debt than the tories. It was only after the banking crisis when Labour took on the debts of the banks that debt rose. Thus Capitalist debt increased socialist debt.
That's a fact. You are 100% wrong.
The corrupt rich bribe government's to allow them to pay virtually no tax. Thats also a fact. I am taking responsibility fro my self by ensure in the rich pay their fair share of tax. It's only fair.

I think the point Witheshaw is making is that the idiots protesting here will have absolutely no effect whatsoever. Companies have been and always paying as little tax as possible using loopholes.They aren't breaking any laws. Any company who chooses to pay more tax than necessary would be incompetent and be a commercial failure. If you want to do something about this go to the head offices of the HMRC who can try and close the loopholes. Although the companies will always win :)

@witheshaw Don't try to defend tax dodging with that business relocating elsewhere claptrap. It won't wash. Companies should pay taxes where ever they are and it should be a fair rate - at lease 40 - 50 per cent for someone making £2bn and dodging tax by declaring profit in Monaco.

@witheshaw Corporation tax should be levied at an equal rate across the globe so there is no hiding place for greedy, jabba-the-hut-like, money grabbers like Philip Green.
northbanksy 1 year ago
@northbanksy the man isnt dodging corporation tax so your point is not valid, CT is based on profits so the business has paid its uk taxes and not avoided them, the money you are arguing about is money taken in dividends by the owner of arcadia who is neither a uk resident or citizen. if you feel so strongly about the issue of tax then protest to the government and not the people sticking to the laws.
