umbrella company woes!!

[Arthur]

???confused???

Is it just me, or is it blatantly obvious????

That if you live & work in the UK, - You should pay tax??????

Who do you call if you’re in a car accident?
Who do you call if your house has been robbed?
Do you drive on the UK roads?
Do your children use UK school?
NHS?

Wake up for god sake!!!!!

Can you honestly say that claiming tax relief on things you haven’t actually incurred, could in any way, shape or form be legal????

I use a PAYE paying umbrella and only claim legitimate expenses, Even though I don’t need receipts, I can sleep at night knowing I am not going to end up with a bloody huge fine I can't afford to pay!!!

Trust me I’ve seen it happen to a lot of people! Ask them whether you should take the risk or not!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to anyone, who does only claim legitimately, it just annoys me when people try and justify it.

What are you on about, old boy? It might be blindingly obvious what you can and can't claim from the safe haven of a brolly, because none of it applies to you anyway. However, if you're out here in the cold trying to make sense of the tax regime this God-foresaken govenrment has conjured up, it's a bit more tricky.

Anyway, nobody is saying we shouldn't pay tax - but it would be nice to know what amount of tax on what proportion of income on what basis and at what rate and under what circumstances and by whom and exactly when you are going to get a brown envelope telling you your understanding of curernt legislation no longer applies and you're in for a three year £15k investigation for no sensible reason. Understand??

Who do you call if you’re in a car accident?

You are already covered by your NHS payments.

Who do you call if your house has been robbed?

Paid for from your council taxes.

Do you drive on the UK roads?

Paid for from your petrol taxes.

Do your children use UK school?

Paid for out of your own pocket because local free schools are full of dumb kids!

NHS?

NHS tax.

So...where exactly does our income tax go?

Sco

I have dealt with many enquires and investigations which have involved the SCO. I have been a tax consultant for 13 years and I am glad to report I haven't lost a case yet. I specialise in IR35 an offshore tax planning.

Would the SCO cases all be in connection with the use of offshore EBTs?

Wel yes, actually. I have in the past worked as a salaried employee of companies that gave per diem expenses. They didn't insist on my proving what I had spent it on, and didn't give a damn if I actually spent less, or indeed more, as long as I got what the per diem was intended to provide.

I didn't ask but I imagine the company would put it down as an expense and so not pay tax on it.

For Malvolio!

My comments are accurate.

My third paragraph makes reference to the change of legislation in favour of the Revenue, not in favour of the taxpayer. Yes the legislation will reflect the Artic case but I was'nt talking about that. I'm talking about the Revenue changing the legislation later on to aid themselves NOT the taxpayer. You obviously did'nt undersand the context of what I was talking about. I'm sorry I did'nt make myself clear enough.

Just for the record my comments were taken straight from a Chartered Tax Advisors publiation, in fact the article was written by a tax advisor who asissted with the court of appeal case. So obviously you are disagreeing with
the consensus of a tax professional who maybe involved in defending you one day!
