Should Contractors pay their fair share of tax?

[MarillionFan]

And what is a fair share?


Well, you're going to find out in April. Loads more. Mwuhahahaha!

[seanraaron]

Yes. Fair is whatever the rate is that applies to your actual earnings as opposed to what you think you can get away with. I know I'll be in the minority in thinking that, but whatever.

And we will still take home more than those morbidly obese permies

[Unix]

Yes 10%

Ho ho ho.


If only that we're true.


I guarantee no contractor is taking home more than me unless they're on more than 7k a week.

I agree. I don't mind paying tax. We wouldn't have the NHS etc. that we have without this funding. What bothers me is when the government think it's "their" money. It isn't.

Bet you were sweating chip fat when the Pastie Tax was being proposed!

[DodgyAgent]

Do the same rules apply to contractors as applied to Google?

[d000hg]

Fair: yes
Being shafted: no

[DimPrawn]

Fair would be a flat rate of tax.

Say 25% of whatever you earn, whether it be £20K or £2M p.a.

But we all know, those in the middle pay the most.
