Apologies for offending you Ath El Stan. The term "stealth tax" is a commonly used term in the UK.

Firstly Rowy, Switzerland is not a tax haven for those who live here, only for those who are domiciled outside of Switzerland. Secondly, I pay all my tax obligations where they arise both in Switzerland and the UK and I have no issue in doing so. Without adequate taxation a country cannot collectively fund its essential infrastructure to ensure stability, health and well being. Without doing so societies rapidly degenerate in environments of disorder, oppression, decease and decay. Malnutrition, abject poverty, illiteracy and dictatorship rapidly follow. And when that happens Rowy you'll not have the kind of "government" that will tolerate any hint of comment re its hidden or even stealth taxation policies.

What and how another nation chooses to evolve its very own language and culture is a topic for themselves to debate. If they choose to call a "bumper" a "fender", or the "boot" a "trunk" so be it. I'll continue to use the English english language. |

Neither. You posted quotes attributed to me which were not in their entirety but abstracts of firstly) a desire, and the second) an answer to a question raised re my personal taxation. |

Agreed, although at the same time I think you've taken an overly agressive stance on the post - I personally don't mind paying tax, but within reason. If the 2% was added only as a temporary measure, it should of course be removed. Tax is fine, it's the sneakiness that isn't. |
