Yes, but if we ask them to pay slightly more tax it'll RUIN the rountry. |  |

The Hinduja brothers give millions to help the poor in India so obviously it is. |  | | |

They could give away about £11.8bn and still be fabulously wealthy. |  |

I'm not 100% sure if the total amount but over the last 20 years its definitely into the billions the amount they have given to help the poor in India | | | |

Unfortunately, if we ask them to pay a lot more tax, they will just b-gger off , and we will get nothing from them. There is a balance to be struck. Here in Guernsey the thoughts are that if there were to be a UK government led by Corbin there would be a very substantial number of people looking to seek residence here. |  | | |

So what's the answer stop them giving money to foreign countries?
They also employ thousands of people, that should be applauded | | | |

Perhaps they should try paying those people a living wage? | |

I suppose the obvious question is how much tax do these people pay in the UK? The article doesn’t mention that. | | | |

And you know they don't?
You know what everyone who works for one of their companies gets paid?
I know 5 people who work in one of their companies, admittedly not very scientific, but all say they are great employers. | | | |

People with less money tend to spend what they have, give a minimum wage worker an extra £1000 and it will go into the economy, not into a tax haven |  |

You don't accumulate that level of wealth without exploiting people and probably governments at some point. Look at Bezos, the guy sh!ts money whilst his staff are living in tents and needing in work benefits just to survive. By definition if you accrue that much wealth from the labour of others you're exploiting them. I suggest reading what Marx has to say about the concept of surplus value, it's interesting stuff. | |

You do realize that UK citizens that hold income producing assets in virtually every jurisdiction in the world pay The same amount of tax on it as if they held the assets in the UK.? | | | |

Not sure that is going to work. But the interesting thing is 4 of those 6 were born outside the UK, one outside mainland UK and another one grew up in council house. But rather than look at how these individuals had the drive to build companies were now in the world of the politics of jealousy | | | |

I didn’t know anything about the brothers being talked about in this thread, the richest people in the UK apparently. It took less time than it’s taken to type this post to find out that they’re probably tax exiles.

The most interesting thing about all of this is how people have been conditioned to slavishly defend people who avoid paying their fair share of tax. Unless all their supporters are billionaires or multi-millionaires themselves, it’s quite bizarre. Did this all start with Thatcher maybe? Dunno. |  |

Politics of jealousy? Don't be so silly. Capitalism is predicated on exploitation, you either accept that exploitation entirely and don't seek to do much to redress it or you acknowledge that those who benefit most from an exploitative system should pay a significant amount back into society to compensate. Ideally you do away with capitalism altogether.
Society needs doctors, teachers, police officers etc. far more than it needs billionaire capitalists by the way and a system where the wealthiest six individuals control so much wealth whilst nurses use food banks is utterly broken. [Post edited 3 Dec 2019 21:49]

Sh*t defence. It’s got nothing to do with jealousy. | |

Cheers for this, Herbivore. It'll be useful to bring up some names next time I complain about Marcus Evans and have someone either suggest that I buy the club or put up someone who can do so. |  | | |

Rather than UK citizens , I should have specified UK resident. The Hinduja brothers will have claimed that they are actually resident outside the UK, and this will have been accepted by HMRC. You could argue that the legislation that allows this is flawed. The risk there is that they will totally withdraw from the UK , which would cause job losses , and a certain amount of lost corporation tax | | | |
