As long as contractors keep thinking they are a group of their own, we will always be vulnerable to localised attacks. I run a UK Limited Company, just like 1.4 million other people. That's all the taxman needs to worry about. If he thinks I shouldn't have a limited company, he'll have to figure out a way to stop me having one. What he can't do is tax mine on a different basis to any other SME.

Here, here
NorthernladUk,
You took the words out of my mouth, for £50 pm you'd be lucky if he's still working in the correct tax year, get a new one and remember he's your accountant not your maid!?!
Ramp up the £50pm to £1500pm and I'll give you details of a tax solution so filthy you'll need and NDA and a bath afterwards.

However the taxman are all civil servants -- the worst kind of premise who have wasted their whole life away behind the same desk. It's really difficult to get them understand the concept of business.Originally posted by malvolio View PostAs long as contractors keep thinking they are a group of their own, we will always be vulnerable to localised attacks.
