To the biggest come the biggest rewards - and it must end.

Revelations on the commons Public Accounts Committee about the way in
which online retail giants dodge tax payments have been slammed by
UKIP.
UKIP Small Business spokesman Ernie Warrender put the full weight of UKIP
behind the call for on line retailers to behave like all other retailers and
charge VAT.
"Having spoken to many people it is apparent the system does not work.
Parcels and goods from the USA seem to attract the attention of HMRC, parcels
from countries like China do not. This gives them a 20% price advantage that is
both unfair and, in a country where our Government needs every single penny of
tax (Because they spend it so wisely??) British businesses, particularly smaller
businesses and start ups, are being put at a huge
disadvantage.
"Every British retailer must charge VAT. Just enforce that law on Amazon,
Ebay, and the other big
boys"
