New just in... Football in the spotlight:

Fifa president Gianni Infantino has denied wrongdoing after leaked documents suggested he signed off on a contract with two businessmen who have since been accused of bribery.

Hugo and Mariano Jinkis bought TV rights for Uefa Champions League football and immediately sold them on for almost three times the price.

The 2006 contract was signed off by Infantino when he was a Uefa director.

Since my last foray into these threads for advice I have been able to set up a shell company in Panama.

Now I just need some money to put in it. Any generous souls?

That's a new spin on the urgent email sent on behalf of the nation of Nigeria looking for a place to 'rest' some money...

Chancellor George Osborne has been pressed over whether he has, or will, personally benefit from any offshore funds. It comes after Downing Street was forced to further clarify David Cameron's tax affairs following questions about his late father's investment fund revealed by the Panama Papers leaks. Mr Osborne said: "All of our interests as ministers and MPs are declared in the register of members' interests. We've made our position very clear." He also defended the government's record on cracking down on tax evasion.

Was on UKs biggest money laundering court case, on the jury. back around 2007/08

case was covered by panorama day it was over

judge told us that shelf companies are the best kept rich mans secret(and legal) after the prosecution kept banging on for around 4 weeks about how its corrupt way of buying assets.

needless to say, my home is under a shelf company, based in Gibraltar. thanks crown court, priceless free education!!

which brings me to this leak, amazing most famous american is Tina turner, almost as if its been cherry picked, you dont think its only China and Russia that operate this way, its our banking system there using lol

then you see the leak is supported by USAID (CIA) and OPEN SOCIETY FOUNDATIONS (George Soros)

just part of the proxy war i think

if only the media would tell everybody how we are real getting fucked up the ass, every one of us with our debt based currency, the biggest theft in history.

You don't pay capital gains on your own house though and it's really easy to avoid inheritance tax easily in this country

According to the Telegraph, DC's dad's shell company paid no UK taxes on its revenues.

DC inherited part of his dad's £2.74M legacy.

I'm not sure what the law is on this, but I'd hope that HMRC is able to claw back the unpaid taxes from the beneficiaries of DC's dad's estate.

Of course you are correct in that we don't have the full picture yet, but what we can see so far looks very damning and has already accounted for the Prime Minister of Iceland. I expect many more heads to roll in the coming weeks and months.

The offices of European football's governing body Uefa have been searched by Swiss police.

It follows the naming of ex-secretary general Gianni Infantino - now president of world governing body Fifa - in papers leaked from Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca.

Meanwhile, a Fifa official also named in the papers - Juan Pedro Damiani - has resigned.

"Almost" certain. I agree. It probably has.

Probably is not definitely.

And it doesn't make the act of keeping money in an offshore account illegal as some people are claiming.

If they're doing it for the purposes of illegal activity, then yes, it's illegal. But the act itself isn't illegal.

As for points made by others. In the Jimmy Saville case there was a lot of evidence given, by many, many people. I'm not how this is remotely similar.

Let me make myself even clearer on the subject of evidence. In order to make any CREDIBLE accusation, evidence is required.

That there is *probably* illegal activity going on here is not evidence.

PS it is possible to believe that the wealthy have different rules to everyone else and are out to line their own pockets even more and think some of the things they do are deplorable AND still recognise that offshore accounts in themselves are not illegal and that we have no actual evidence of criminal actions yet.

I'm not willing to string up everybody named in the papers on the basis that they are wealthy and may have done something illegal.

In the shadow of Hong Kong's big banks, rows of currency exchange shops specialise in quick, anonymous transactions.

But behind the scenes, much larger deals are helping to move money at an unprecedented rate. Wealth is flowing from the mainland, through currency dealers in Hong Kong and beyond.

The leaked Mossack Fonseca documents have revealed to us how the families of China's leaders keep money offshore.

And now, a full analysis of the files by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists shows that nearly one third of the firm's business came from its offices in Hong Kong and China - making China the firm's biggest market and Hong Kong the company's busiest office.

Here’s where I am on the whole thing;

I haven’t decided on the guilt or innocence of any of the people named, or yet to be named and there’s a few fundamental reasons why I’m yet to declare.

For me, it’s not about the relative political leaning of any of the named people, its wholly irrelevant and trying to make some sort of political capital out of it is frankly ridiculous, childish and ignores the crux of the matter.

It’s not about politics or party, is about guilt or innocence, laws broken or not broken, simple as that.

Here’s what I do know;

What I’ve read in the paper.

What I’ve seen on the TV.

What I’ve heard on the radio.

What I don’t know is how accurate any of the reports are, or if there is any truth in any of the allegations.

Here’s a few more things I don’t know;

I don’t know personally any of the people named.

I don’t know what they earn.

I don’t know how much tax they pay, or don’t pay.

I don’t have access to their bank accounts.

I don’t know the intimate details of their tax affairs.

I don’t know every line and nuance of UK or international tax legislation.

I don’t know anything about UK or international corporation tax.

I don’t know anything about corporate law, UK or international.

I don’t know much about UK or international banking legislation.

I don’t know anything about shell companies, offshore accounts, double entry book keeping, hedge funds or anything else remotely related to any of the accusations.

I don’t know what the evidence is. I mean real demonstrable, interrogated and corroborated, irrefutable evidence, not what’s in the media.

In short, I don’t know what laws, if any, have been broken.

And until I know a lot more about what I currently know nothing about, I refuse to pass comment on the guilt or innocence on any of the accused, regardless of political colour, regardless of class, regardless of position, regardless of country.

I do know that it doesn’t matter how much I want something to be true, be it guilt or innocence, simply wanting it with all my heart and soul, with every essence of my body, doesn’t make it true and no amount of ranting on an internet forum will change that.

By the way, the quote is actually;

The Mayor: Callahan... I don't want any more trouble like you had last year in the Fillmore district. You understand? That's my policy.

Harry Callahan: Yeah, well, when an adult male is chasing a female with intent to commit rape, I shoot the bastard - that's my policy.

The Mayor: Intent? How'd you establish that?

Harry Callahan: When a naked man is chasing a woman through a dark alley with a butcher knife and a hard on, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross.

The Mayor: I think he's got a point.

But I did like you changing it to jehovas witnesses.

David Cameron is facing questions about his attempt to exclude offshore trusts from an EU crackdown on tax avoidance.

The PM wrote to EU officials in 2013 to say trusts should not automatically be subject to the same transparency rules as companies.

Labour said this showed he did not take tax avoidance seriously.

Tax avoidance is tax avoidance.

It doesn't matter what the tax is.

It doesn't matter what country it's in.

It doesn't matter how big the sum of money is.

It doesn't matter what political party it is.

It doesn't matter if you like the person or not.

For the avoidance of doubt, avoidance is avoidance....

You slate one section of society, but advise another that "it's easy to avoid".

Super.

I really don't know the answer to that question, and suspect it would take greater legal minds than we'd find on the Fab Forums to get one.

I know that I think it's immoral, and many others do too. Therefore, a better question is - should it be legal?

The simple fact of the situation is that the tax avoidance schemes of the rich employed by the likes of Ian Cameron, father of Prime Minister David Cameron, mean that the burden of funding our essential services falls unfairly on the poor due to tax avoidance by the rich. An immoral situation.

The avoidance schemes are currently legal - and they are legal because rich people like our Prime Minister David Cameron personally intervene to keep them so.

So the real question is how do we make such schemes illegal, and spread the burden of taxation more fairly between the rich and poor, when the people with the power to change the legality of an immoral situation will not benefit from doing so.

And tbf, they would say they've done nothing wrong...

* Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko says he has done nothing wrong, after documents suggested he had set up an offshore company

* Hussain Nawaz Sharif, the son of Pakistan's Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif, and one of three siblings shown to own real estate through offshore entities, says "there is nothing wrong with it"

* The UK tax authority HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) says it has received "a great deal of information on offshore companies" as it investigates - it is also asking the ICIJ to share all its data

* Australia's tax office says it is investigating 800 individuals named in the leaks

* Austria's financial markets regulator says it is investigating whether two banks breached rules on money laundering after being named in the leaks

* France has opened a preliminary investigation into money laundering and tax fraud

* Argentina's presidency has denied that President Mauricio Macri owned shares in an offshore company called Fleg Trading Ltd

* A spokesman for Azerbaijan's president Ilham Aliyev, whose children are named as owners of offshore companies, says such practice "is not banned by any law", adding that they "are grown up Azerbaijani citizens"

It's there in the words...

There's very easy perfectly legal ways to already avoid inheritance tax on houses WITHOUT going the expensive route of a shell company in Gibraltar!.... That's not saying a shell company in Gibraltar is illegal.

However if your going that route of ultra secrecy, it's highly likely your upto bad shit..I mean your in a scheme with murdering dictators, drug dealers, sex traffickers, illegal arms dealers!!... Yeah you know the guys that like secrecy but aren't technically proved guilty of trafficking children.. Just your average cunt trying to evade tax by stashing wealth!

I listened tot he Chief Minister of Guernsey last night on the radio saying "Nooooooo! We're not a tax haven! We're safe place for tax. If nice, clean places like Guernsey didn't have sheltered tax systems, private to outsiders, the prospects for crime would be increased greatly."

Translation = if you look closely, black is in fact white.

I'm not really sure how you define this category of "the rich" but for the sake of progress I'd say that in absolute terms, the rich probably avoid more tax than tradesmen but as a percentage of income perhaps not. Just like in absolute terms, the rich donate more money to charity than "the poor" but as a percentage of income, perhaps not.

Hope that clears it up for you.

The top 1% is defined in the UK as anyone earning over £140k.

There's a starting point.

The amount of money donated by the UK’s richest people to charities has risen 21 per cent over the last year to a staggering £1.77bn, according to the latest Sunday Times Giving List.

This sounds like cause for celebration, and rightly so; any donation to charity, no matter how small (or large) must be applauded.

Yet a recent article from across the pond has been whipping up a storm by highlighting the ‘confounding’ fact that in 2011, the wealthiest Americans – those with earnings in the top 20 per cent – contributed on average 1.3 per cent of their income to charity, while in comparison the poorest (aka those in the bottom 20 per cent) donated 3.2 per cent of their wages to charitable causes.

I didn't say he should, I said it's unnecessary to use a shell in Gibraltar to avoid inheritance tax on your house, there's already easier ways that are perfectly legal.... That's not me saying it's the right thing to do!.

"it's unnecessary to use a shell in Gibraltar to avoid inheritance tax on your house, there's already easier ways that are perfectly legal...."

so your not saying that shell company use is illegal... or are you just saying that there are other ways that are legal... but not mentioning that shell companies are also legal?

It's there in the words...

There's very easy perfectly legal ways to already avoid inheritance tax on houses WITHOUT going the expensive route of a shell company in Gibraltar!.... That's not saying a shell company in Gibraltar is illegal.

However if your going that route of ultra secrecy, it's highly likely your upto bad shit..I mean your in a scheme with murdering dictators, drug dealers, sex traffickers, illegal arms dealers!!... Yeah you know the guys that like secrecy but aren't technically proved guilty of trafficking children.. Just your average cunt trying to evade tax by stashing wealth!

Personally I think ANY avoidance of inheritance tax is morally wrong and should be made illegal.. Just to clarify for you"

I think the fact is you maybe don't understand why it isn't illegal.

"The question isn't really whether they are legal or not, but whether they should be legal.

I vote no.

Actually the question is, did the people named break any laws.

I really don't know the answer to that question, and suspect it would take greater legal minds than we'd find on the Fab Forums to get one.

I know that I think it's immoral, and many others do too. Therefore, a better question is - should it be legal?

"

I may or may not agree with the moral perspective.

The trouble is, it's damn near impossible to legislate my moral compass onto someone else.

"The simple fact of the situation is that the tax avoidance schemes of the rich employed by the likes of Ian Cameron, father of Prime Minister David Cameron, mean that the burden of funding our essential services falls unfairly on the poor due to tax avoidance by the rich. An immoral situation.

The avoidance schemes are currently legal - and they are legal because rich people like our Prime Minister David Cameron personally intervene to keep them so.

So the real question is how do we make such schemes illegal, and spread the burden of taxation more fairly between the rich and poor, when the people with the power to change the legality of an immoral situation will not benefit from doing so.

"

I know the answer to this one.

Stand for parliament, get elected, change the system.

Thought this thread was about the Panama revelations?

FWIW All tax avoidance is wrong and should be investigated, but I do think that someone avoiding a million is worse than someone avoiding a tenner, yes. Is that wrong? "

It is of you are going to feign moral outrage about it. The only difference is how much tax they had the opportunity to evade.

Considering the democratically elected leader of the historically established popular opposition has been subjected to the most sustained media smear campaign in UK history for not being a right wing sock puppet in support of the current system, you don't actually know the answer. Try again.

By smear campaign you mean that they just quoted him and his colleagues...

It's his own opinions that make him a laughing stock. "Um yeah let's build nuclear submarines but not put any nuclear weapons on them" and "let's put a self described militant vegan as the shadow secretary of farming" - no need for smear!!!

The avoidance schemes are currently legal - and they are legal because rich people like our Prime Minister David Cameron personally intervene to keep them so.

So the real question is how do we make such schemes illegal, and spread the burden of taxation more fairly between the rich and poor, when the people with the power to change the legality of an immoral situation will not benefit from doing so.

I know the answer to this one.

Stand for parliament, get elected, change the system..

Yeah that's a great idea!.

Although historically we tended to just have the odd revolution where rich people get... Errr well done away with!.

Not that I'm advocating that either!...

So the reason you won't stand and fight the good fight is because you fear revolution?

When did the UK last have one?.

The good revolution?... There you go again judging my morals... Now get off a your horse and drink yer milk"

Good swerve, I expected no less. Not sure asking you when we last had a revolution is judging your morals though. My bad.

You're good fun I'll give you that.

"And finally, and most importantly, do you think I look better in my undies than you look in your missus'?

Don't know, you've blocked us

I *never* block anyone - ne-ver!

(It's one of my rules )

You can just gaze admiringly at my avatar if you like.

You look better or worse in some of your pictures depending on either the light or your weight at the time, it's hard to tell which. We'll fab the better ones so it's clear. "

Don;t start haggling - rich people always end up paying proportionately less and we're supposed to be grateful!

Labour has accused David Cameron of "hypocrisy" after he revealed he had owned shares in an offshore fund set up by his late father.

On Thursday, the PM said he sold the shares before he entered Number 10 in 2010 and had paid all UK taxes due on profits from the £30,000 sale.

He said the firm, Blairmore Holdings, had not been set up to avoid tax.

Labour's deputy leader Tom Watson said the PM had called people who invested in similar schemes "morally wrong".

Business Minister Nick Boles said "with the benefit of hindsight" it might have been better if the PM had revealed details of his shareholdings when the allegations first surfaced on Monday but he understood Mr Cameron's "natural human instinct to rally round his father".

Having a Swiss account makes no difference at all, it used to before the Swiss agreed to exchange finical information because you could simply hide money there.

Honestly if it was that simple, we'd all do it.

I am sure when I looked into it 15 years back you had to open with £500,000

I opted for a Jersey offshore account instead, served a purpose at the time

There's still minimus but there's alot that aren't anything like that!.

You have to earn a million a year to get a residency for Monaco but then the minimum house price is about the same and even then you very rarely actually live in the house anyhow, it's more like a po box for residency!....

Monaco is incredibly boring to live in but excellent for taxation purposes

I think it was Somerset Maugham who said:
