closing the loophole would be "dividend tax to anyone taking dividends from a one man company (disguised employee)"
this is "dividend tax to anyone who receives dividends"Comment

Originally posted by d000hg View PostThis is very true, but let's be honest, CUK members are not upset on behalf of hard-working shop-owners. It is self-interest, and then they're using this to make it look better. Which is exactly what the politicians do to justify their dodgy decisions. You're desperately looking for arguments which support your pocket, you couldn't give a crap about mister shop owner.
Originally posted by pr1 View Postmaybe at 7.5%, what about at 10%? 12.5%? 15%? What about if the 5k free limit reduces to zero?
it's not going to happen, but the time to challenge it is now, not when it's been introduced and they start creeping it up 1 or 2% per year
(I'm only playing devils advocate, I think we should all pay PAYE but no employers NI, which I think the div tax will align to in the near future)
edit: I'm also not signing the petitionComment

Doesnt matter who is genuinely affected, we are on contractor's forum and you are getting uppity about it. So lets look at your use case first. Your dividend loophole was closed, and its not retrospective. So why all this protest?Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !Comment

And it's not just this, its the T&S and IR35 issues (and possibly the BTL'ers). Some people are going to be quite understandably upset.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment
