No I didn't pay for the Bosch oven via bank transfer - but at one point I did consider making a claim on my credit card if things did not get resolved. The bank transfer is not the sole reason stated on this forum for avoiding ProCamerashop - I was referring to Carl's reference to customer service etc.
I don't have problems saving a bit of Tax here or there. As a higher rate tax payer, I think I pay more than enough of my share and am sick of the government milking the working person and letting the huge corporates get away with paying minimal or zero taxes or even worse expecting the tax payer to subsidise the profits of corporates - e.g. the supermarkets paying sub-living wages to their staff who then have to claim topup benefits in order to make ends meet.
If all the muggins out there are perfectly happy to pay up-to 70% tax (income tax+NI+VAT) on some of their earnings that is their choice. If I can find a way of saving some tax I will do it. And dont get me started on Stamp Duty or even worse Inheritance tax! Aggghhh! I can't believe people on here are so keen on the tax man getting every single penny they are due!!
as I'm not a hypocrite - I understand that we can't criticise the likes of amazon for avoiding paying their share while evading import taxes ourselves.
Also tax pays for public services - if we want to use the public services we should pay the tax where due.
