No, because tax is paid on their profits as personal income by the recipients of those profits. It works just like a partnership in that regard (so this is not an unusual method of taxing an enterprise). And personal income tax rates are higher than corporation tax, so in reality HMRC receives more tax this way.

May I present to you a classic example of PR half truth - see above

Ukisgaslit · 30/06/2026 15:02

@Serenster perhaps you have genuinely misunderstood

You appear to be baldly comparing ‘corporation tax’ and ‘income tax’ .

That’s not what the poster meant of course . Businesses pay corporation tax and individuals pay income tax on their resultant income . And capital gains tax of course

Of course if the Windsors paid all their due taxes the treasury would much better off !
Thats exactly why the Windsors don’t do that

And this has precisely what to do with Catherine completing the three peaks challenge?

I was replying to Serenster but go ahead and try to shoo those pesky facts away

They are ALL in on it

ThreePeaks · 30/06/2026 15:18

Let’s take a poll, shall we?

Who finds Serenster most credible when it comes to matters of UK tax law?

Ukisgaslit · 30/06/2026 15:21

🤣 oh no not a poll!!

Donyou seriously think businesses can pick and choose which taxes they’ll pay ?

Only the Windsors do that

Maybe they are, maybe they aren't, but this is a thread about Catherine completing

  • 23 miles of mountain walking (37km)
  • 3,064 metres of total ascent (10,052ft)
  • 462 miles of driving between peaks
  • All within 24 hours

Not true. Amazon does it and pays infinitely less than a single “Windsor”.

But I recall you didn’t want to discuss that.

@ThreePeaks

What on earth??
Anazon pays multiples more tax than the Windsors .
They pay a billion in tax
and multiples of that in indirect taxes

UKgasslight is more credible than Serenster by a landslide, seeing this discussion.

But making such kind of poll is quite useless and untasteful.

What?? 😂

In the last financial year it would have been liable to more than William's tax bill if it were subject to CGT and Corporation Tax. Estimates have it at £10million plus.

Lacking in taste, but you jumped to participate.

Please note I only mentioned one poster in my poll.

I see my post concerning US Meghan Markle internet obsessives wasting their lives when they could be using them more productively has been deleted.

I would like to apologise to all US Meghan Markle obsessives, anywhere in the USA, and I withdraw my suggestion that you could do more useful things with your lives. Some of the best people spend all day online spreading crazy conspiracy theories.

@JohnnieFedora

I assume that your presenting the prison rip off being stopped as new info means you are unfamiliar with the Times / channel 4 investigation?

Teams of journalists spent months digging behind the scenes in the Duchies ( the companies aren’t exactly listed as Windsor) to identify the charges and rents the Windsors were pocketing.
The original charge was 37 MILLION to be paid by the tax payer to the Windsors over 25 years for the use of Dartmoor prison, that’s ONE charge.

There are many more - the millions charged to the ministry of defence ( the MOD refused the FOI request so we do not know the number) to use ‘duchy ‘ land. They charge schools , charities etc
This was uncovered in the last year or so though Andrew Lownie and Norman baker had been spreading awareness too.

William was charging the tax payer 1.5 million a year even after the prison was empty ! He has been rightly shamed into finally stopping that charge.

Mind you - I saw royalists upthread defending the Windsors charging charities as the claim was charities are rich so it’s quite right to charge them. Following that desperate logic why should we donate at all ?

But didn't the Prisons Service sign a new 25 year lease in 2023 saying they were intending to resolve the radon issue and continue to use it? - there were still prisoners there until 2024. The government website still refers to the closure as temporary - even if it is not.

Radon issues are usually resolved quite easily - ½ to 1 day for a standard house - probably harder though for a heritage listed building built in 1805.

Yes it's lacking in taste because it can make the discussion difficult. When there's a poll there's two options. Do you have any problem with people answering your questions ?

Or you got angry with the answer that doesn't fit your narrative?

Polls can have many options but you may not know this.

In this case there are still multiple options.

Why would I be angry?

This sounds deranged. Are you ok? This topic is not about Meghan, it's about Catherine. Stop the obsession of making everything about Meghan, go post in another topic if you want to tak about her.

Anyway do anyone know if she completed it in 24h? And how many money she raised ?

It’s actually about prison rent and radon now.

Are you describing the posters on this thread who have mentioned they donated to Royal Mardsen as peasants?

And it’s not about the Duchy either but you don’t have a problem with that do you? If posters are bringing in the Duchy, Andrew, prison rents etc. on a thread about Catherine’s three peaks success then you have a real nerve calling out other posters on mentioning Harry and Meghan, and quit with the personal insults as well while you are at it.

You think it's "fun" to climb the 3 tallest mountains in 24 hours?

It's definitely a challenge though.

corblimeygvnr · 30/06/2026 16:32

Gosh the things dragged up on here to try to detract from Catherine's achievement . It must be sticking in the throats of some people. Here the RF is business as usual while Harry acts like a baby !
