If everybody paid their fare share the tax rate would be around 12%. Are you sure Jimmy and his ilk are still doing the right thing? |

I think Ireland changed this law some years ago. That's the reason why Bono & Co are now a dutch corporation. |

One more thing ... the tax system should be flexible enough not to over-penalise those who may have a large income over a short period and then little or nothing thereafter (ie one hit wonders !)

It was the same under Heath! |

To true.
One of the reasons why I freelance is because I'm control of the tax I pay (which at the moment is nothing). I have everything I can legally on expenses and pay myself enough to live. When I finally expand I will incorporate my business and pay myself via corporation tax, which means again I will pay less tax.
It's being sensible and working within the law. |
