[SallyAnne]

So do you pay up for ir35 SA?

Nope, but if I was caught by it I would.

[Royston Vasey]

So all he's done is raise the rate of corporation tax for us lot then....and that's it?

And not even by very much.

We've probably all earned enough this afternoon whilst bitching and moaning about it on here, to pay the fecking difference!

SA - so you don't pay for IR35 yet you said before

"IR35 - yes, its a good thing. We should definately be getting the richer people to start paying the taxes they should be."

So you are one of these richer people so why are you not paying up?

[Spacecadet]

also from the budget:

Small firms will be able to claim a new 100% relief for new capital investment up to £50,000, claim a 175% tax credit for research and development, and claim a new tax credit for environmental investment.

so 3 months on the bench means 3 months R&D being paid minimum wage with a tax credit
although i doubt it will be that simple

JUST LEAVE US THE F**K ALONE YOU SCOTTISH T**T !!!
Yeah I know you contract folks don't get pensions, holidays, training, guaranteed work, redundancy pay, sick pay, medical benefits etc etc but apart from that you are employees and should be taxed accordingly.
C**T !!!!! Removing MSC's will make no difference apart from causing me aggro doing paperwork I don't want to do..

"Speaking during the Budget, Darth Vader said: "Changes I will announce later in this Budget will also improve the position of the self employed. But we need to act to deal with rebels artificially incorporating as small companies to avoid paying their due share of tax, a practise if left unaddressed would cost the rest of the Empire billions of pounds. And I will take action in a way that will not raise the tax burden on the self employed and small businesses overall we will crush the futile attempts of the rebel scum"

Gordon Brown is Darth Vader...

I think us richer folks should pay more taxes yes.
I just dont fall inside it - if I did, I would pay it.

And for people who DO fall inside it, I'm pleased they're caught.

And when they bring out a new tax to catch people like me, I'll hold my hands up and be happy about it.

What dont you understand about that?

You mean you sent the money to the tax man but he gave it you back?
