    Official Summer 2015 Budget Thread

    Tory budget today and no threads predicting abolishing IR35, zero tax rates for those earning over £100K, and having a butler becomes a tax deductable expense....

    CUK is now officially nothing more than Facebook for contractors.

    They need to increase pensioner benefits. Green fees are only getting more expensive.

        BTL "investors" need more support. A lot more support. They are the engine of the British economy.

        I would suggest you can deduct mortgage interest from your tax bill, and the deposit can be borrowed interest free using a govt "help to get rich scheme". They can fund this using some NHS money that normally get wasted treating poor people or even worse immigrants.

        Works for me

                  Augmenting IR35 with an alternative, optional vehicle to operate through which will remove any uncertainty that IR35 generates - 30% chance

                  More details on merging NI and PAYE - 60% chance

                  Crackdown on aggressive tax avoidance - 100% chance
