Well if the IR do decide to tax us to the hilt it will be up to us if it actually goes ahead. We have the ultimate power here, a/c need pilots and crew, if we choose to stay at home on the same day and ground every plane in the UK I think that might get the point across. Not to mention the impact on the economy.

We can discuss this, save our receipts, jump through all the hoops asked of us and all we are actually achieving is showing the taxman how much of our wages we are spending in foreign countries, so the little bean counter will want that cash kept in the UK and he can only do that by taxing us.

Personally I think we should take a lead from workers in Europe and when the taxman does come a calling we just say NO.
