It will also be subject to UK law. If you are doing something that is contrary to a UK law you may be fined or imprisoned.

I am no expert in paint but if the new paint is staying on the ceiling why remove it. Remove the loose stuff and ridge. Treat the blotches with some sort of stain stopping paint, I think many are shellac based, making sure it can be overcoated with the "new paint". Give it a coat with the new...

If a company is doing business in the UK that that transaction is taking place in the UK.

The UK Government legislates for things outside its territory, as does the US and others.

Money is being transferred out of the UK. Many countries have laws on the transfer of money. The UK could enact a law to tax money before its transferred. There are pros and cons in such a law but that does not stop it being possible.

Why not put on a dust mask and give it a light sand.

That is debatable. The argument is that the £12 restaurant would close and open as something else. My argument that all the resturants should be subject to the same rules.

Would something like this work. I think this is the smallest that they do but there are other suppliers, you could get a few different sizes. The post will be the most expensive thing...

People who think that taxes can not be applied to either party in a transaction should read the thread Sauter Shop and import taxes.

You stated "you do not tax expenses". I noted expenses are taxed in the UK by things like VAT. I assume that you accept that taxes are paid on expences so it is quite possibe to introduce more taxes on expences. I tax like VAT is not VAT, it would have its own rules on how it taxes expences...

As I noted expenses are taxed in the UK by things like VAT. VAT is a fundamental part of the UK tax system. As you note "for example brand value can easily be demonstrated to be worth a very high % of turnover". There is no logical reason why you can not tax that value that is demonstrated in...

The UK has and can enact laws that govern the actions actions taken by individuals and companies overseas. As you note "If you are owned by an American company there is a lot of legal obligations on the company to ensure it’s subsidiaries around the world also are compliant in certain aspects...

Seems ok. Just clicked through from "screwfix" on google to one item.

Company A, which is in the UK would be taxed by the UK. If Company A is paying a licence for the brand to Company B based in Ireland then Company A would have to pay tax at 10% of £10m or £1m. The location of Company B is irrelevant because it is not taxed. Company A is in the UK.. The money...

You keep saying it is relatively easy to move profits but when I state that new laws and taxes could be introduced you ignore it and just state again that it is relatively easy to move profits with no justification of the statement. "License to be paid for the use of the company brand." Tax...
