Originally posted by d000hg View PostI think that's a silly suggestion. The dividend tax closes a loophole where company owners can pay very low tax on a high income, and the tax levels chosen make it very similar to income tax levels, which suggests that is deliberate.
Or why could not they limit tax to first £100k in dividends per year?
This is even worse tax grab then when Brown raided Pension funds - there he also disallowed use of dividends tax credit, something that Conservatives criticized and now they did the same thing only for everybody, can't remember that being in their manifesto!Leave a comment:

Didn't SKA work like that for you in the early days - coding 15 hours a day because it's your business and you can't spare the money to pay someone else?Leave a comment:

At the other end of the spectrum, loads of small business simply don't every generate a lot of profit. Running a nice boutique teashop or similar quirky/independent business often just about makes a living for the owner but no more. A "lifestyle business" I thin it's called.

Working extremely long hours and having combined income from business less than high income threshold, what's the point then???
