To put this into context, if the directors of Vodafone went on a spending spree they could afford to buy BT, Tesco, and Lloyds Banking Group.
What would you advise them to buy?
Thanks to my "favourite politician" for creating a Capital Gains Tax loophole in the 2002 finance act, the profit on the proceeds of the sale are exempt from CGT.

Quote from: AlaricAdair Vodafone Group plc is a British multinational telecommunications company headquartered in London and with its registered office in Newbury... quote from Wikipedia.
I wouldn't believe everything found on wikipedia but I would believe information that comes directly from vodafone themselves. I just done a whois on vodafone.co.uk and look what they have stated to the registrar of their domain:

If that makes them German then the tax man owes me several £million for being alive.

You're right. I meant their profits are vested in the tiny European Union member state of Luxembourg.
Quote from: hulls Will Gareth Bale be paying tax in the UK? Surely he works and resides in Spain. That said, you can be sure that he will be paying less tax than a nurse or a teacher, because his accountants will make sure of it.
In whatever tiny principality or protectorate he pays tax, his asset managers will make it the most tax efficient method - minus their 15%
Btw according to the Company's House website, in 2012 PlusNet's net worth was £3.5M - most of which is cash at bank - compare and contrast this to the other numbers here. http://companycheck.co.uk/company/03279013

If the deal with Verizon goes through I will be pleased. It is rumoured they will be handing a major part of it back to shareholders, and I'm one

There is also a rumour that they will join AT&T to create the world's biggest telecom. This would be a much better bet than their involvement with Verizon.
