Yes good news for this chap but having just returned from a week in the US and Canada I can say without a shadow of a doubt that their homeless problems are worse than ever. Lots and lots of people sleeping in doorways and wheeling around shopping trolleys with their worldly goods on board. We should be thankful that our welfare state does not allow things like this to get so bad. Lots of innovative ways for people trying to earn money. On the London Underground you get a solo busker in the tunnels between lines always trying to avoid the law who will move him on as soon as they see him. On the NY subway you get whole bands Jazz, Pop and classical 4 piece string quartets on the station platforms all very entertaining and it shows people trying to get on and left alone by the authorities. Not the case here is it!! On the NY subway |

A truly great story; and one that puts lustful greedy bankers, price-hiking utility bosses, and conscience-free politicians to shame. If that had happened in the UK I reckon HMRC would be after Billy Ray Harris for a 40% tax-take of that $100,000 'reward' of unearned income. |

He would fall foul of the Capital transfer rules. HMRC would be looking for their cut..... Yet is he was Starbucks or Vodaphone he would of course be exempt... http://www.money.co.uk/article/1004329-how-do-i-gift-money-without-being-taxed.htm |
