Yes, but, what if it is a company? There is a concept that taxing the company and then taxing the shareholder is somehow a double taxation. It is not double taxation. It is completely normal taxation. Companies are taxed, they pay profits to the shareholders and those shareholders are then taxed. Is this right? I would like to run through all of this. I accept that pension holders, when they get their payout, are taxed and it is taxable income. Am I right in thinking that if a pension fund buys the hotel, there would be no tax paid?
