Just to add to the doom, two big IR35 losses

all it requires for evil to succeed is for good people to do nothing...

my advice - leave it - not worth it.

Uh, Brillo are you contradicting yourself here or are you just over the whole IR35 thing?

Yeah direct action, or at least make the public more aware of it, we should highlight what crooks the HRMC and goverment are. Im all for it !

I took direct action. I fscked off to another country. Now Denmark is #1 in the world for eGov and the UK is fscked in that regard. There's probably only the DVLA that works and that's only cause I nip over to Swansea for a few days each quarter to keep 'em on the straight and level. Now if I was to stop doing that it'd go down the Swanee too.

Yeah! Lets all drive to London in our Mercs, BMWs and Porsches, and protest wearing our Paul Smith suits that we pay too much tax on our £150,000 a year income. That will get the public on our side, especially those nurses/coppers/teachers etc etc

I was very heavily involved in f4j - 4th person arrested in the cause. I still speak to the head honcho alot - Matt O'Connor.

people seems happy to have their civil liberties eroded. as long as they personally are okay no-one cares. all it requires for evil to succeed is for good people to do nothing...

Yep and the MITS can sympathise with F4J.

If you try to get the sympathy of a normal employed person about the tax rates applicable to someone grossing 100K, they will (understandably) tell you to Foxtrot Oscar.

He was represented by Accountax

So presumably he won't have to personally pay any of the £99k back then? Presuming he's taken Accountax IR35 Guarantee?

That actually sounds quite tempting, yeah fair enough it's around 1k up front, but then you don't need to worry about 35.

Stuart!
