Did anyone see the woman selling her furniture business? She was on benefits yet had a company with an 180k turnover. She had sold another business for 11k but was getting the money in installments in order to avoid loss of said benefits. She reckoned she needed 60k earning from the business in order to leave benefits.

Beggars belief!

Surely this is a prime example of benefit fraud?

on some levels - yes. on another level - she could just have stayed on benefits. She said once company year end came she would be off benefits.

Not fraud, just another example of a crazy benefits system that the aggrieved taxpayer is financing thanks to you know who.

People who could stay on benefits but start businesses are unlikely to break the law. I accept it is possible.

If you have turned over 180k, then in my book you shouldn't be on benefits, creative accounting was the only reason she still was

Its her duty to do the best she can. She did nothing illegal. She could have done nothing and stayed on benefits.

Do you apply IR35 to your limited? Of course you don't! If the government implified the rules and behaved fairly instead of squeezing us covertly for every penny - then they would get alot more tax revenue.

More importantly it looked like tulip overpriced furniture to me.

But fair play to her. She could just stay on very well paid benefits for another 10 years.
