So, assuming highest bracket ad no dodgy 'business' setup, instead of paying the government £450 or so to f**k around with, you'd be giving £1000 to a charity to use and lose £550 yourself.
Lol imagine being able to give money to charity and it costing you nothing, of course it costs you.
I think giving some of your own money is a very good thing, you’re actually sacrificing some of what you have for the good of others, it’s not done for your benefit especially if you don’t do it publicly (which sometimes can be construed differently).
Ozil has his faults for sure, but no one can questions how charitable he is.
