Still able to dodge tax

[expat]

It means 'we're going to continue pissing away too much money like almost every government has done since 1945 1906 and you lot are going to pay for it'.

FTFY

Yes, I'd agree on that, but then it would include two world wars which I think we could consider 'exceptional circumstances'. As for the rest, I simply don't see the point in giving more money to government when it has proven time and time again to be unable to manage it.

Lucky that tax isn't based on whether the tax payer can see the point.

I would be happier if they increased corporation tax for 1 man Ltd companies by 1% and then repeal IR35. Much cleaner and easier.

That would be sensible and therefore never happen

At the coming local elections in NL, politicians will knock on our door asking for our votes. I shall set them a test. I shall start by telling them all the things I think our ´community´ needs, like an indoor skating rink, an indoor cycling track, a bypass road around the village, a ´community centre´ (got to think of the poor and downtrodden), and other nice things. The first one to say 'no, we can't afford any of those things' will get my vote.

Seems like after the Autumn Statement there was no changes that make it more difficult to dodge tax by paying dividends/low salary, hurrah!!!! Chooo Chooo

I got a UK Contractor email showing that HMRC are looking at if the ratio of low salary to high dividends is worth further investigation, as one of the headlines.

Can't link to it as I deleted it, but interesting nonetheless.

Told ya - Practically all it would take them is to whump up some SQL and list the top 10000

And with a better end result for all parties.

If we're moaning about the way the government wastes money, then we certainly want HMRC to be focusing on those cases where it has the most to gain. And they should start with those that pay exactly the right amount of salary - i.e. however accountants work it out that you pay the minimum tax, because that can only be about tax avoidance.
