I don't think that it is right that I should pay any social taxes to a social system that I can't use of the next five years and don't use at all at the moment. If I have call on the Healthsystem it will reclaim the cost of my treatment from the health system in the UK were I pay the NI.
As to the income tax......well I am not surprised that the governments of Southern Europe are clutching at straws to get money.......some say " socialism is a very good system untill the other persons money runs out". So it is hardly surprizing that following the way the governments spent money that did not have that the place is in the mess it is, just don't expect me to pay to bail them out.
Well it is the type of money grabbing from the governments that you support that will drive business away, it is totalt unreasonable to expect me to pay tax in an EU state that I spend only a few hours a week in and would have no say in how my tax was spent.
My contribution is to the local economy were my use of hotels & restaurants keeps locals employed during the low season, as well as flying the money spending tourists to these places to help keep the economy afloat.
But Danny this is hardly the concern of a Monoco resident !

As far as I was aware I was addressing one of the issues that are part of the legal questions that you raised, any how I am glad that you now see things my way in that social taxes should be paid in your state of residence.
While I am not in a position to comment directly on the Norwegian situation I am told that they have aircraft based in AGP and crews start and end work cycles in AGP so it is hard to see what you are driving at with this line of criticism. Likewise you seem to have some sort of issue with the changes in the Norwegian contract, I am told that contractual conditions have changed but what you seem to have missed is the pay increase of IRO € 10,000 per annum so it is not all one sided.
