ChatGPT

Agree

No, only in cases of evading not avoidance

This answer aligns with a libertarian perspective that might differentiate between illegal tax evasion and legal tax avoidance, a stance that could resonate with UKIP's broader economic principles. Their policies have often favored simplifying the tax system, which could imply a tolerance for avoidance but a condemnation of evasion.

Agree

Yes, we should strongly disincentivise those who move money out of the country

UKIP's focus on national sovereignty and its critical stance on globalism suggest they would support measures that discourage moving money out of the country. This stance aligns with their broader skepticism towards global financial systems and practices that could undermine the UK's economic interests.

Agree

Yes

UKIP has historically focused on issues related to national sovereignty, immigration, and the UK's relationship with the EU. While they have not been as vocal on tax evasion specifically, their general stance on national interest and skepticism towards global financial practices might incline them to support prosecuting tax avoidance. However, their economic policies have also emphasized tax simplification and reduction, which suggests a nuanced view on taxation.

Slightly agree

Yes, and fine them double the amount they avoided paying

While UKIP might agree with the principle of prosecuting tax evasion, the idea of imposing double fines could be seen as excessive punishment, which might not align with their broader economic policies that favor tax reduction and simplification. This approach might be viewed as too punitive from their perspective.

Disagree

No

Given UKIP's emphasis on sovereignty and national interest, outright opposition to prosecuting those who hide money in foreign bank accounts seems unlikely. However, their libertarian streak on economic issues might make them wary of overly aggressive government intervention in personal financial matters, hence a slightly negative score.
