Quote "We rely on the blessings we receive from God which we give to him and not to an outside entity such as the tax office." Fanny Alida Beerepoot - yes we even have a comedy name - her husband Rombertus Cornelius Beerepoot and their family, ended up with a bill of 2.3 million Australian dollars. The two missionaries even wrote to the queen (I suppose she is in the tax evasion club as well) to complain about paying taxes and that owing to paying taxes Australia is cursed and is the cause of droughts and infertility Has anyone on P&B ever used this argument to avoid paying their council tax and were they successful, and going on from here what else could we argue we shouldn't have to do as it goes against gods will?

Richey Edwards Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 It's a little known fact that you can opt out of paying tax. I have been doing it for years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Moomintroll Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I want to go out & buy a pet just so that I can call it Rombertus Cornelius. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 When I moved here I opted out of paying tax to the local Church, on the grounds that I don't believe there is a god. They should perhaps have seen if that works there. Was in Tasmania for a bit at the start of this year. Lots of religious mentalists there, particularly in the more rural areas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 People with hilarious names should be exempt from tax, on a sliding scale. For example, Roger Boyes should get a 10% discount but someone called Fuckface Von Boondoogle gets off with all of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that apply if you changed your name by deed poll, or only if you were christened with that moniker? Eventually you would end up with so many Fuckface Von Boondoogle's that the name would lose it's outrageousness and they would have to pay tax unless you changed your name to something like John Smith. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Watson Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 There was a girl in my daughters class at school called Iona Dick. Not only should she be exempt from tax, she really should be awarded a regular payment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
