Do they have to pay any capital gains tax due?
?Wash your mouth out, you pervert.
Talk like that will see you extraordinarily renditioned (rendered?) to some place nasty so that MI5 on government say so can give you a "doin' ", pull your fingernails out and slash up your soft bits.

It'll be MI6 that deals with him in the country of their choice for torture.

So, if they claim it back and the house is a 'work expense' - what happens to any profit they may make when they eventually sell up? Do they have to pay any capital gains tax due?
That's part of the scam though isn't it? They claim that their constituency home is not their main residence so they can expense the costs of it but there's nothing to stop them simultaneously claiming that it's their principal residence for Capital gains tax thus neatly side stepping tax when they sell up....

I've emailed my MP with a link asking for an explanation.
I got a good letter back from my MP when I wrote to him on this topic. He said he had had a massive number of mails and had passed them onto the Government. You never know, the gravy train may slow down a little.
Anyone know what the average MP grosses (including expenses)
They talk about a 60k salary not being much (MAtthew Parris), but it will be interesting to see what they actually Gross.
