No, but provided the tax system is fair and reflects the risks that contractors face (6 months on the bench and not a penny taken from public coffers), I wouldn't mind paying."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

Well my pension is basically in my own private investments in shares (I don´t trust banks), so I´ll be hit by the 40% tax rate, that´ll make it difficult for me to get a house in the UK unless house prices drop significantly, and it´ll hit my pension.
In 5 years I will be voting labour just to make sure that everyone else gets an appropriate tax increase to match mine, and no I´ll be spending my retirement else where.
That´ll teach em...

Is there withholding tax on CGT liable transactions?Originally posted by BlasterBates View Post
If not, you can go somewhere nice & warm and sell your shares from there with no tax to pay..."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

Well that´s what I will have to do. It´s not so much the pension though that´s a long time away, and as you say I can go somwhere sunny, it´s if I want to trade the shares in for a house, that´s when I´ll take the hit. The other thing is I don´t want to sell them in one lump, I want to sell them as I need the money, i.e buy a house, and hold back funds for my pension. About 50% Í´m keeping for a house and the other 50% is my pension, and if I retire in Britain with a house I don´t necessarily want to go and live in Bermuda, just to avoid tax.Originally posted by Moscow Mule View Post
Reducing the CGT was the one single great thing Labour did, and then they go and reverse it.
Oh well
