Someone's angling for a permaban

"ukcontractoraccountant

Who has been invited to change his ID to name his employer. Doing this will lift his 7 day ban.

This will also prevent a Permaban."

LOL. Can't come soon enough.

This time, at least he/she/it cited a somewhat official source, but as Martin noted, it's wrong. UKCA can't even get it right when they try.

Thanks, Martin, for the AccountingWeb link, it answered my question about the secondary contributor language. You don't have to pay a second employee up to the threshold, despite what the HMRC guidance says, the legislation itself says otherwise. It's all pretty clear.

Every contractor who pays someone else a salary can claim this. Nobody should count on being able to do so a year from now, because chances are they'll tighten it up further, and complain that people were just getting around it and how terrible the tax avoiders were. When in fact, they were just extremely neglectful in how they worded the legislation. For now, if you are eligible, fill yer boots, and if your accountant talks about connected parties and such, tell them to advise you based on what the legislation says today rather than what they think it might say next year.

of course I got it right - all links I posted are correct and to the point.

Are you the one who is going take it to Tribunal to test the payment under the primary threshold for the second director/employee? Laugh my head off.

You link is to the HMRC "guidance", which isn't always a reliable source.

Anyway, when are you changing your user name so we can see who you work for?

My fault. Been away to see the sickly in-laws while the kids on holiday, work has piled up a little to say the least

Username has now been updated. I was asked to do this yesterday, when the ban auto-expired I guess.

I have stated this to John (the accountant formerly known as UK Contractor Accountant) and will state it here too. We rely on the advice that the accountants and other service providers give on the forum. If any service provider is found to be repeatedly incorrect then we cannot keep allowing that person to post on the forum. So please do continue to report and discuss any incorrect advice that is given and we will take the appropriate action.

Can I report 7225 of PC's posts in one report or do I have to do them all one at a time?

PC isn't an accountant, debt collector, umbrella company owner or agent so he, like you and I, can post what tulip he wants.

Oh. Are you going to Tribunal to back up the "advice" you've been giving here?

At least I've been basing my statements on the actual legislation, rather than on sources that obviously don't match what it says. Carry on, though.

My advice is not to bother, you'll never keep up. He added six since you wrote this. I haven't bothered to check if any of those six are not worth reporting, but I suspect most aren't worth discussing.

Of course, if you think my advice on this point is incorrect, I advise you to report and/or discuss it.

His post count hasn't gone up. I gave him the benefit of the doubt on those.

Nicely colour highlighted sir. Me likey.
