You must be referring to somebody elses morals ! 
The Crown Prosecution Service offers the following definition.
"A racial group means a group of persons defined by reference to race, colour, nationality (including citizenship) or ethnic or national origins. The definition is wide and victims may come within the definition under more than one of the references. Gypsies and some travellers, refugees or asylum seekers or others from less visible minorities would be included within this definition. There has been a legal ruling that Jews and Sikhs are included in the definition of a racial group (Mandla v Dowell-Lee 2 AC 548)."
Was Albania part of yugoslavia?
And if you had the shit kicked out of you by a bunch of welshmen round here on a saturday night cos you were english I reckon the police might call it racially motivated.

Yeah Stevie, however when you operate in the UK (regardless of where your company is based) you are liable to corporation tax on any profit.
The machinations of some of these organisation to avoid paying their due is illegal and rightly so in my view.
It is sad that the enforcement of the tax regulations is so prohibitively costly.
This is why I favour an overhaul of the system.

I understand VAT, I dont understand what bearing this has on widespread tax avoidance.

Sorry Ben.
VAT is paid at a specified rate on virtually all goods sold in the UK. Typically, children's clothing is exempt. This means for consumers that the price you see on the ticket is the price you pay. The VAT element if applicable has already been added (its a legal requirement to show the VAT inclusive price to private consumers).
Now, take a simple example. The VAT rates have changed upwards since I left the UK of course, but hopefully this will give you a basic idea of how it works.
The RRP for an item on sale is £10. At the rate of % the goods are nett and the VAT element is That is the amount passed to the exchequer.
If the item is discounted to, say the netted down price (ie the amount without VAT going to the merchant) will be and the VAT element will be passed to the exchequer.
Therefore, by simple mathematics you have saved but the exchequer has lost
Multiply that by the millions of discounted transactions that take place every year and you can get a better idea of sizing. If the Government use their usual 'basket of goods' methodology for determining the likely VAT tax take, discounting can make a serious hole in their budgetary forecasts.
I hope that helps.

If, by exploiting loopholes left open by the tax administration system one is able to mitigate one's tax payments then that is fair game.
No it isn't "fair game" and thank goodness attention is being paid to the problem.
As HMRC state:
In the UK the tax loss from avoidance is estimated to run into several billion pounds across both direct and indirect taxes. This directly affects the delivery of public services and long-term economic growth. Avoidance distorts markets, is economically unproductive and breaks the link between economic productivity and reward.
So on the one hand, good luck to firms that evade UK tax, on the basis that the rich pay too much tax anyway.
On the other hand, shame on them for being criminals.
I am with the latter group, and believe the revenue has existing powers to stop these scams but has neither the will nor the resources to do so.
While they are at it they could stop people claiming to be limited companies, when in fact they are fixed term employees solely to avoid tax.
Other examples are too numerous to mention.

Well I think the disgraceful behaviour of the NOTW and others is firmly established.
My direct experience of corporate scandals and crisis management and is that some bugger falls on their sword and is often generously rewarded for doing so.
This seems to me to be the case here.
I am surprised a man of your intelligence cannot see that inevitable scenario.
Silence? What you talking about?
Are you possibly saying that The News of the World was using underhand tactics to boost stories, and Murdoch has paid her this amount of money for her silence on that? So then she is going to commit perjury in court, when she appears in the dock?
Got any facts or evidence if that is what you are implying? No thought not.
In fact I shall be as bold as to use another one of these. :roll:

11 mill for silence, cheap at half the price.
