Don't know the scenario Brillo - any linkys?

I think he means like Moira Stuart? Jeremy Paxman and others have also been mentioned.

or do you mean the stars that are investing in films that is being investigated?

Well the Moira Stuart scenario would appear to cover earnings from personal appearances or talks (only £22k for the year) and if she is able to determine where and to whom she speaks I can't see any problem with running a Ltd Company outside IR35; it's not as if the earnings from her employment were put through the company (unless she is really badly paid!)

The second scenario appears to be a case of HMR&C changing their mind and the investors not having a crystal ball - a worryingly common trend.

It's still not fair though Cojak - collective responsibility to clear the national debt means that 100% should be paying their fair share otherwise there won't be enough cash to support those who make no contribution whatsoever to the states' coffers - it's only fair after all

I hope this is tongue in cheek?

As if these few make any bit of difference to the national debt! The huge amount of borrowing is what adds to the debt, a few millionaires wont make the slightest difference whether they pay 0% tax or 50%.

Large Corps paying nothing make a difference but not as much as huge public sector borrowing just adding more and more...
