Ashcrofts past masquerading as van-the-man...

800PM GMT nineteen Mar 2010

A follow-up from my story about tax-shy Tory counterpart Lord Ashcroft.

Yesterday we reported his purpose at Anglia Ruskin University where the commercial operation department, specialising in courses on corporate governance, is declared after him. Today we"re behind to his lucky non-dom status. It turns out Belize isn"t the usually bolt-hole Ashcroft has availed himself of. I"m contacted by an insider with this explanation "Your square on Michael Ashcroft brought to mind the takeover in 1986 of Pritchard Services Group by Ashcroft"s car Hawley Group," he tells me.

"Michael had a little years progressing been a government accountant in PSG and for a duration of his practice was wouldnt to nap overnight in his outpost in the company"s subterraneous car park."

I disbelief car parks suffer the same taxation benefits as Belize, but it"s a non-domiciled standing of sorts.

...and an suggest from Isle of Man

Which leads me on to this… Auctioneer Cannon Capital is offered a tract of land in the Isle of Man at the Mar twenty-five auction at Claridge"s Hotel. These plots are flattering singular I"m told, not usually since it has formulation accede but additionally since of the Isle of Man"s standing as a taxation haven.

I forsaken the association a line to see if they had forwarded the sum to Lord Ashcroft. Still waiting.

Parking problems for John Caudwell

John Caudwell, the billionaire owner and afterwards seller of Phones4u, is carrying a wily time.

Speaking at a Penfolds booze do on Thursday he explained one of the problems of being a billionaire "There are only no places in London to play belligerent a helicopter that creates travelling quite difficult, not to discuss anticipating a befitting city home that can house one."

Caudwell right away lives in Chelsea Harbour. If any one is seeking to sell a London desk pad with helicopter entrance give me a shout. We could be means to do a deal.

iT"s all in the name. Campaigners opposite Tesco"s due supermarket at Bristol City"s football belligerent Ashton Gate won their conflict underneath the pretension BERATE Bedfordshire Residents Against Tesco"s Expansion in to Ashton Gate. That done, Sainsbury incited up with identical plans. So the organisation got a new acronym BASICS, Bristol Against Sainsbury"s Insane Colossal Superstore.

More from the skill world"s annual knees-up at Mipim in Cannes.

The conflict in between the organiser of the eventuality ReedMidem and the people who spin up for it goes on.

ReedMidem has been perplexing to lane down those who spin up at Mipim but profitable the �1,000 nominee fee.

In fact, it had a little success this year by the French courts opposite UK representative Drivers Jonas.

Its ultimate targets have been the cities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht.

I assimilate that attendees who incited up the cities" discussion at the Majestic Hotel, outward the main discussion area, were contacted by ReedMidem to find out if they had nominee passes.

No transformation was taken by ReedMidem on those that didn"t, but the 4 cities might not be as lenient.

Word is they are right away deliberation receiving ReedMidem to the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg - on the drift of free transformation of products and services.

Happy days by the strand for all.
