I seem to have a touched a nerve or two. That was not my intention. The point I wanted to make is that for the economy at large one-man Ltd companies are an utter waste of time & energy as a means to an end, which for most is tax avoidance. Cash Accounting should be reintroduced to the UK as a means for an individual to work.Last edited by scooterscot; 6 May 2014, 19:09."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".

I'm sure I've heard British politicians claiming that 1 in 7 new Ltd Co's are set up by immigrants. And what a great thing this is !

Originally posted by d000hg View PostWhy not? And is it NEVER immoral if the law allows it, or are extreme cases over the line?
Two people, same skills same experience. One is PAYE the other raking it in via the Ltd. Most here will say Mr Ltd is using his or her savvy to make extra. I don't disagree. But where is the line drawn? Perhaps you've got a banker maybe using a Ltd company with a seven figured income 'oh but the bank employs many people paying NICS' says the PC brigade. Or perhaps someone like Jeremy Clarkson, many BBC figures use a Ltd company, for what reason other than to avoid tax?
It becomes immoral using a Ltd company that pays a net income far and beyond that for a living wage, imo."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

Just a thought, but if a pimp knew they were breaching their visa terms by going limited could they be liable for immigration fines?Make Mercia Great Again!Comment

Originally posted by stek View PostBut the point is a Tier 1 (HSMP) is closed now and has been for a while, leaving only Tier 2 as the only remaining Work Permit route per se, what the enterprising Bob does now is somehow find a contract and then contacts certain 'umbrellas' who has COS that allows them to sponsor Tier 2 visas. Remember T2 is tied to the sponsor.
So the 'umbrella' takes on the contract and sponsors the Bob in turn. Totally illegal but the UKVI haven't cottoned to this one yet.
There's a whole industry springing up out of this as with the T1 Entrepreneur visa, I read the forums and 99% of the Bob's there couldn't start a jigsaw let alone a Business. Stuff like this...Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !Comment

Originally posted by fullyautomatix View PostThis scam has been going on for a while now. When HSMP was closed by the Tories ( thank god!), they found out that there was a back door entry via the entrepreneur visa route. Essentially to get the visa you had to pledge to invest 200K in a company in 4 years. Plenty of scams on showing 200K in bank accounts etc and plenty of scams on how to show that it was invested in a company.
HSMP was closed by the Coalition surely, albeit under it's newer name of Tier 1 General....Comment
