Chancellor ignores Ltd company directors again....
For which there’ll be f*** all evidence.
Political lobbyists are really good at this and don’t get caught.
Hopefully when they get too comfortable with it, one or another will slip. The problem I see that when this happens, the public will be indifferent.
You know "this government is great! They got us all the money during crisis and it's good that they closed the market to all this tax dodging contractors, they should lock them up!"
Appears a lot of you didn't understand specifically what I was pee'd off about.....in the house this afternoon Sunak was asked a clear question regarding dividends being part of a contractors remuneration and he completely ignored the question and answered by saying how Ltd Company Directors could claim if they were furloughed.
I'd have more respect for politicians if they at least answered the clearly put question rather than deflecting - even if the answer wasn't something I really liked.
I feel like someone would have to lack basic understanding of what a dividend is to ask a stupid question like that. I probably would just ignore it too.
It would be a rubbish question if dividend tax was ring-fenced, but it is not. So the situation is that a person that pays tax with one label gets different treatment from a person paying the same tax with another label.
This creates a situation where one pound is not equal one pound and could uproot our currency.
