Just suppose he continues to take out 50K from his Ltd to get through his warchest and also from other investments imagine now working as perm for 60K a year - The net effect is that from the 60K a year more than 40% plus NI goes straight to the tax man which means a high stress job for 2.5K a month net - Madness in my viewComment

I've had two spells of contracting and resided on here during each (and a bit during permiedom)
Now quit for the second and last time due to a blanket PSC ban from all clients.
Got a decent permie job (which really surprised me) and it's been better than I expected so far (6 months in).
Ltd co all but wound up - there was a small amount in there but not much.
It was nice whilst it lasted.Comment

I'm MVLing and went perm hopefully just for a year whilst I wind up and we sell the house. It means I don't have to burn any savings. In lockdown there's not much else to do so I might as well carry on until we're sorted. Pretty silly not to to be honest.
...my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

Im sorry - That came across all wrong - I was just reflecting on the point that working perm in the uk (once you have passive income which takes you in the higher bracket) really is not cost effective because of the tax position you are left in - That was my gripe but it came out wrong - ApologiesComment

Good luck CM.
Being perm at least you don't see the upcoming Budget and think "Ah ****, shafted again!"
qhHe had a negative bluety on a quackhandle and was quadraspazzed on a lifeglug.
I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.
