2.167. The March 2010 Budget announced action to tackle arrangements
using trusts and other vehicles to reward employees which seek to avoid, defer
or reduce liabilities of employees and directors to income tax and NICs or to
avoid restrictions on pensions tax relief. Legislation will take effect from April
2011. The Government confirms that Employer Financed Retirement Benefit
Schemes (EFRBS) are within the scope of this measure. (March 2010 Budget)Politicians are wonderfull people, as long as they stay away from things they don't understand, like working for a living!Comment

Originally posted by ratewhore View PostI think the budget was fair enough under the circumstances. The reduction in CT is a plus point. The increase in VAT could mean the FRS works in our favour, but I haven't crunched the numbers.
And when VAT goes up..don't expect it come back down. Unless you happen to live in Canada.
So the big question is....is it time to pack bags and get out?McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."
