Another attack on 'schemes'

Nice to know that it's not being wasted though:

UK Welfare Spending 1692-2015 - Charts

Terrific, what happened to reducing the UK dependence on welfare? Oh, that's another broken promise, sorry.

And it seems that there is more:

Disguised Remuneration - draft National Insurance contributions regulations
These regulations make provision for amounts chargeable to income tax under Chapter 2 of Part 7A of the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (ITEPA 2003) to be treated as earnings for the purposes of National Insurance contributions (NICs) if they would not already be earnings for NICs purposes. They include provision to prevent a double liability for NICs on such amounts.
Where these regulations apply ordinary NICs principles will apply to the collection of NICs. As a consequence there will be two aspects of the income tax treatment of amounts chargeable under Part 7A which will not be fully aligned with the corresponding NICs treatment:
Amounts deriving from duties of an employment performed overseas or with an overseas employer and chargeable to income tax on the remittance basis by virtue of sections 554Z9 or 554Z10 ITEPA will be liable to Class 1 NICs on the value of the relevant step when it is taken.
Amounts chargeable under Chapter 2 of Part 7A which subsequently attract income tax relief under section 554Z14 (relief where earmarking is not followed by a later relevant step) will not attract corresponding NICs relief.
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) have published draft regulations for comment and these can be accessed from the link below.

You’re not that far off Geoff….

I was listening to this social worker on radio, and he was saying “some teenagers now plan to get pregnant while still at school, so they are guaranteed a flat and welfare by the time they leave school. They have no ambitions to get a job or higher education. Their aspirations are to win Big Brother or some other reality show….”

I just had a memory of Maggie Thatcher's comment about teenage mothers going into hostels rather than council homes...

why not just put the children into nursery and make the parents go to work ? why is it OK for most of the UK working population to do that but not those on welfare ?

Have I stumbled into the Daily Mail? I thought it was contractor UK.

Nice bit of obfuscation Geoff. But why is it better to not pay the tax that is due than to claim benefits?

we are getting a bit Daily Mail just for the purposes of clarification my clients pay all the tax that is due, but as i've said previously why pay it when they p**s it against the wall, as soon as they show responsibility with peoples hard earned money then they can take the moral high ground
