The only case where this could be acceptable is when you work in the R & D dept. of a company. If you are hired for specific tasks (which is usually the case) then everything else you do should belong to you, only. Einstein produced most of the work that led to the relativity theory while he was an employee of a patent office. Should the patent office claim anything related to his work in physics? It would be really absurd, if it did.
I've written succesful applications without any spec, just talking with users, writting things down myself, showing them prototypes, repeating. In some cases users are not able to produce a spec and even if the do they don't always really "know what they want", that's why prototyping is so important.
My point was that when a company uses a foreign tax regime (which is what google does, btw) it completely escapes any incentives created by it's own government that are related to tax avoidance. Apparently the parent of my previous comment (pg) doesn't think that US government's purpose is to give incentives to US companies to move to Bermuda. Btw, I never implied that moving to tax havens is some kind of a sin.
If the money stays in the company forever, why should they be taxed? Imagine a company that makes billions but never distributes income in any form, a 90% shareholder could starve to death.
Income should be taxed only when distributed, it's like it doesn't exist if it's not.
Can someone explain why companies should pay taxes at all? Their shareholders should and they do pay taxes according to their income but what's the purpose of an extra taxation to a legal entity?
Many thanks for sharing all this. Since you seem to know how the UK agents think, is locality of candidates a crucial factor for the agents? I live in the continent and had little luck whenever applied for UK based contracts, much more interest from the same UK agents when the contract position is based in my country. Is there a workaround to this, given that I'm perfectly ok with relocation?
What money? He could ask a favor from his buddies, provided of course he has the same revengeful mentality as the victim. This is quite unlikely but still works as a deterrent for many people that would otherwise take similar actions as the victim. A solution to this problem might help in the battle against crime. Just to give an idea, something like an e-testimony with a digital certification that can be connected to the person's identity details only from qualified public servants.
If you meant they make a lot of money working as employees (e.g. as traders in banks that get a lot in bonuses even when they blow everythng up) then my comment was irrelevant. If you mean that a lot of people make money by beating the market (that's how i got it) then I would still like to see these references.
