Personally, I always take the best rate I can squeeze out for the gig. Most gigs the rate is almost unimportant. They want the right person. -
Funny how they get all shy about how their scheme worked. They all know they are bent.Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostSome of them were motivated by cupidity, but mostly they were misled by the suppliers. Shame those ****ers can't be prosecuted and sent down. It's ridiculous - HMRC say if you're unsure, you must consult an expert. So you consult an expert, follow their advice and you are still are liable and they get away scot free, with their fees.
First, we kill all the QCs...Comment

I took HMRC advice. And relied on advisors. All the contractors I knew were doing it. It was like HMRC had approved it!Originally posted by northernladyuk View PostFunny how they get all shy about how their scheme worked. They all know they are bent.
Of course, it took retrospection to defeat it. So it did work.
The only crime the people in the "safe space" made was being poor.
Can we not attack the common enemy here?Comment

Honest contractors and bent contractors do not have a common enemy. You clearly belong to the latter group as demonstrated by your reluctance to describe your 'honest' scheme.Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostI took HMRC advice. And relied on advisors.

I suppose that in your line of work that is correct. Standard body shop twunts. Disguised employees.Originally posted by northernladyuk View PostSometimes competition is on price and he you have a lower cost base you can lower price. How do you not understand this?
The sort of gigs I do the right person is needed.
Of course, it is you standard body shop types who are bent and give us specialist honest types a bad name.
I don't really like throwing anyone under the bus. In your case, I will make an exception. And Churchill will be driving the bus......Comment

What discussion? You do nothing to contribute to discussion on CUK. Or anything on CUK come to that.Originally posted by northernladyuk View PostNothing to add to the discussion then? Shout all you like, but you are crooked and we all know it.
In your opinion I am crooked. However vast numbers of CUK posters see the HMRC situation very differently.

The HMRC situation does not define whether or not your actions in the first place were bent. However if I have misjudged you, please do hold your head up high and explain how the scheme worked.Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostWhat discussion?
