Heh, pringles 'cakes' forced to pay millions in tax


I love stories like this, Pringles say to customers "buy our crisps and dips" pringles say to taxman "we don't sell crisps as they're more of a spudless cake!"

Taxman says "fuck that". Judge Judy wins.

If I were Procter & Gamble, I would immediatly stop making Pringles just so the tax man would miss out on his 20 million a year. I'd then send them a letter saying "Ha ha, no money for you, up yours you robbing cunts".

How hard can it be to specify, in the law, what makes a potato snack? Its easy, just state a potato content and if your on or above it, you pay, if not, you don't. They purposely keep the law ambiguous just so they can screw people out of money. I'll bet that if Pringles were not that popular and would only bring in say half a million a year, the tax man wouldn't have bothered going after them.
