National Minimum Wage or £97 pw?

Well you obviously took me seriously enough to post, didn't you!

No I haven't had a limited that long but I have been in business for several years. Or doesn't being a sole trader carry any weight with you?

Yes it does carry weight with me, congratulations. My point is you have very little experience of actually running a business, yet you spout untruths as if fact.

Most of the advice I post on here is a combo of my own judgement and that of tax and other specialists I have spoken to. So I am not talking out of my backside at all. Far from it.

Oh! Let's not forget that I've been involved in consultations and published on the subject of EBs in national newspapers and business magazines going back to the mid 90s.

Excellent, well done. Large orange?

Oh! I noted your boast about having two employees. Presumably, then, you see having a number of employees as some sort of status hike over us OMB oneabe's. My advice, and this forum, is for one-a-be's not for acorns - for which the advice is totally irrelevant. Therefore, I would appreciate it if you would stick your nose out of this forum and go and play patacake on some SME forum somewhere else.

My "boast" was merely to point out that I was not a bum on seat contractor using a limited company for tax evasion as you suggested.

Whilst we are on the subject of bum on seat contractors, what is your problem with them? I started out like this and there is nothing wrong with it. It gives you the opportunity to build up a financial buffer to take the next step in whatever dierction you so desire.

I expect, all told, I have far more 'knowledge rich' experience on one-a-be contractual issues than you've had hot dinners. Probably because I'm rich enough from my last contract not to need to constantly be in work so have more time to read and research - a point which you are also trying to be snide about as well.

Really? My Dad's bigger than your Dad.

You know nothing about why I am not in work at the moment, so I would appreciate it if you would keep your ignorance to yourself - which in only one or two posts you have embarassingly displayed like a peacock spanning it's plumage

You are correct, I only know what you have posted about how you work.
You have however displayed over several posts over a number of weeks/months that you have very very little experience of running a business.

You have dismissed the opinion of qualified accountants of many years as their opinion does not match your own.

You have accused more than one of us of tax evasion.

In summary you are like an angry petulant child should somebody have the audacity to disagree with the self appointed oracle.

You threatened to leave this forum a few weeks ago, what a shame you decided to return...

Do shove off. You are so boring and you can't read much less remember what I wrote.

It's pointless keeping up this charade.

I always thought you werent really equipped with the experience or business acumen to back up what your saying. If all esle fails revert yet again to petty insults.

You run along now and keep trying to convince yourself your in business of your own right. The rest of us who really are will concentrate on winning the business, you can dream up your next crackpot scheme to avoid an investigation.

You never know, once your vast wealth runs out you might get off your high horse and realise that maybe your attitude is the reason for your failing business model.

Move along people, nothing to see here.
