@Jonsie76820327 @RoyalReporter @ObserverUK As the Sovereign Grant Act 2011 guidance clearly states: “The Crown Estate does not pay the Sovereign Grant to the Monarch directly. The Crown Estate makes payments each year to the Consolidated Fund and HM Treasury pays the Sovereign Grant to the Monarch.”

@reporterboy If your child wants to learn to play a harpsichord & you directly buy lessons from a freelance music teacher, there’s no VAT. However if your child is at an independent school & it commissions the same teacher on the same terms but adds the cost to its fees, VAT must be applied.

@bitgit @Ald19Dr Which carers charge their clients VAT?

[Paul Parkinson @pjpcfp]

@paullewismoney Sovereign Grant (SG) is spent on the Royal Household, not the Royal Family. Furthermore, whenever the SG is less than the Crown Estate profits, tax receipts from taxpayers aren’t required to fund the SG thus freeing up 100% of them for HM Treasury to allocate to public spending.

@KarlTurnerMP @bphillipsonMP @RachelReevesMP If you judge their brains to be “massive”, how small are the brains of the rest of the party?

[Paul Parkinson @pjpcfp]

@69Maitland @Cheenekaspirit @piersmorgan @DailyMail @amandajplatell Indeed. Many confuse the Royal Household with the Royal Family. Some through ignorance, some through wilful intent to deceive.

@RepublicStaff @ThompsonHe28533 Nothing else. Perfectly acceptable use of the money.

[Paul Parkinson @pjpcfp]

@brij_chaggar Hardly.

@Enyo4 How can the public trust you?

[Paul Parkinson @pjpcfp]

@ShakeLS @ThompsonHe28533 They are not “billionaires” you ignoramus.

@Jenny_1884 @blackadderSCFC It is the working office of the hundreds of full-time staff that make up the Royal Household.

@AmericaRecharge None. She has no discernible expertise at all.

[Paul Parkinson @pjpcfp]

@DominicFarrell She is certainly, with her uselessness, harming the cause of trying to get more ordinary people to be interested in going into national politics.

[Paul Parkinson @pjpcfp]

@NoKingCharlie So how much tax in comparison do you pay? Does that reflect how useless you have been throughout your whole life?

[Paul Parkinson @pjpcfp]

@DanNeidle I really don’t understand the clamour to know how much is paid up HMRC. We don’t expect other participants in the constitutional governance of the country, such as the members of both chambers of our parliamentary legislature, to publicly disclose their own tax affairs.

[Paul Parkinson @pjpcfp]

@RepublicStaff We don’t trust you, so should all your staff reveal their tax returns too?

[Paul Parkinson @pjpcfp]

@truemagic68 The only way to rebalance this is for cyclists to compulsorily have registration plates on their bicycles with which to identify them for prosecution.

@ajcdeane @StAustellAdam There is not enough spare server capacity on the internet to list all his failings.

@MckinlayHa39546 @RB1649 @RepublicStaff He’ll will freeze over before these anti monarchy reprobates are satisfied.
