It's a pity you chose to pimp out some Romanians for £10/hr instead.

If the right premie job came up - I'd take it - tomorrow (very unlikely one will come up); but until then I am happy to take more cash upfront (even with the budget still better off than permie), and manage my own affairs.Comment

Originally posted by tractor View PostIt's quite clear you don't pay voluntary tax/NI on your dividends and you don't pay all your companies profit out as PAYE, so you are a hypocrite and no one here will ever take you seriously.Comment

I'd like you all to go into a pub, or anywhere else where you find a collection of ordinary working non-contractor people and explain how outraged you are that you're now going to have to pay 7.5% tax on part of your income and how disgusting it is that as high earning tax avoidiers you've been singled out and how the extra risk you take justifies paying tax at a lower rate than them even though you typically earn twice as much. And then see how much sympathy you get.
Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

We might be £600 quid better off plus a load of risk, but that's on an equivalent salary.
Contractors do not get equivalent salaries/income.(\__/)

This government, and Osborne in particular, are determined to reduce the economic impact of the state on their kind of people to the absolute minimum. This involves reducing the outgoings on things that do not affect their kind of people (e.g. benefits, savings) and increasing the take from those other than their kind of people (e.g. by removing small-time tax breaks).
What people on here had not grasped until now is that we are not their kind of people. Well, you know now.Comment
