    3.5% tax - how do people think they get away with it?

    Adieu Montpelier - Contractor Weekly

    So Mr Huitson thought it would be acceptable to pay tax on £15K income per year then bugger all on the rest. And thought this would be perfectly legal and HMRC would let it got?

    Greed again - serves him and people like him right. £195K owed - oh dear.

    It was perfectly legal at the time. Avoidance is perfectly legal. In fact it is one's moral duty.

    The loophole had to be closed. It should have been closed sooner. But it should not have been retrospective.

    How do you pay yourself? Limited? HMRC have now decided you cannot claim travel and subsidence. Soon IR35 will be mandatory. And you are required to pay by an APN - and soon they can take the money out of your account.

    Guilt until innocence is a lovely thing.

    I note this is the 3rd thread on the subject - can someone do some KUATB posts please? I suppose we can expect such posts from the Welsh.

        Its about time this was added into the first timers guide. As everyone reads that...

        Any chance mods could move this thread to general so I can stop being nice? I have received infractions before due to including certain emoticons in the professional forums....
