I would have said between 70-80% but as Greg has pointed out it depends on how much you're earning etc to the exact percentage.
I do know of a method for 120% basically what you do is <removed>What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

I treat myself as IR35-caught, and on a hypothetical 100K post-flat-rate-VAT turnover I would retain 85%.
Breakdown:-
Salary £7,072
Pension Contribution: £87,928
Accountancy (crunch.co.uk): £857
Corporation tax: £829
Dividend: £3,315
Future basic rate tax on 75% of pension: £13,189
Total tax: £14,018.
It helps if you have a paid for house, low outgoings, working wife, and savings from pre-IR35 era. If I continue to work full-time, which I haven't done for much of the last decade, then 2012/2013 is the last tax year I will be able to put more than 50K in the pension, so I may pay more tax in subsequent years. (I have an idea how to get around that, that involves leaving money in a company I don't own, that will pay me salary & pension in later years when working less, but not sure if it's worth the effort.)Last edited by IR35 Avoider; 14 October 2011, 15:06.Comment
