It seems bizarre in the extreme that anybody would think this would work (ie the fee be tax deductible) even if they did bother anyway given the cost is 20% and the saving is about the same.

Nope the saving is either 26.5% (corporation tax and dividend tax) or 45% (employer / employee NI and income tax).Originally posted by ASB View PostIt seems bizarre in the extreme that anybody would think this would work (ie the fee be tax deductible) even if they did bother anyway given the cost is 20% and the saving is about the same.
As I've pointed out before I never understood why the schemes charged 10 or so %. Given the amount of money they were saving you they could easily have charged a greater percentage. This is one of the first schemes I've seen where the percentage makes sense (although absolutely nothing else in the scheme does).merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
