Originally posted by djm View PostIn plenty of forums, Facebook, social media etc, I always see the following phrase and I wondered what everyone else thought about it and how you answered it.
"People who avoid paying fair amounts of tax by creating a company, employing themselves on minimum wage and paying themselves a large dividend lose their right to an opinion on what happens to the NHS, as they aren't fairly contributing towards it. Even if what they do is legal, morally it's completely wrong."
By the way, I'm a contractor and sick of being attacked and would like to know what to say back

Employees generally pay a higher percentage of their pay in tax, than entrepreneurs. This is because the state wants to encourage employees to become entrepreneurs. Us contractors sit somewhere between the two. So it would make sense for the state to want to incentivise us in a similar way. That's what justifies our purportedly lower rates of tax - there is no connection between what we put in and what we should have the right to take out.Comment
