Phil Manley question and answer session

[BrilloPad]

Its a good point! I know he was quite busy this weekend. I will get onto him now.

Phil said he has been spending time with his son. It was not pre-planned and he thought he would be free this weekend. He expects to be on tonight to give response.

He added his apologies to my apologies.

Disappointed Phil didn't visit. Hopefully he will this week.

NICs

Like many people who settled following the FN/APNs, I paid NIC which HMRC should not have demanded based on the limitations act, What is happening to challenge HMRC on this?

Would living in Portugal place you outside of any legal or regulatory oversight? Will your company always be UK based or may that in time move offshore also? Will your staff all be UK based?

Erm yes good point. Admin please assist!

Sorted

Why does anyone care where I live? Its not LC or tax related. Its based on weather, happiness and personal choice. You can get from Portugal to London as fast as from say Scotland to London. As mentioned in another post, its all irrelevant as i'm currently sitting in a rather miserable and somewhat overpriced London hotel. To query what country I choose to reside in is, in my opinion, rather pointless. Indeed if it was within my capabilities id rather spend my time hanging out in Hawaii as I find its a tad better than my time in Manchester. I remain confused why this is a topic of conversation.

Possibly because people are nervous about what is happening with you moving companies and being featured in The Times as being named by HMRC as being "accused of tax avoidance" and "involved with the scheme, designed to help freelancers avoid paying the loan charge". It could make people question your integrity and when they find you are overseas it could make them wonder if you had done a moonlight flit

You stated in a post last night that you would take legal action against anyone else who called you a slippery crook. Are you taking action against the times for saying that you have been accused over tax avoidance? Some commentary from you on the article would be of use.

Nothing wrong with Portugal mate, Ive retired there myself.

Beautiful country, lovely weather,nice people ( who love the Brits unlike most continentals), cheap beer....what's not to like?

You’ve used the word “Brits”, when you mean “English”

Where did you get Portugal from? It says Kent here:

DOW SCHOFIELD WATTS TAX RESOLUTION LLP - Officers (free information from Companies House)
PMTC LTD - Officers (free information from Companies House)

EDIT - Actually cancel that you are correct!

Correspondence address = Kent
Country of Residence = Portugal

So my question is - has Phil moved to Portugal?

I didn't say you would, and I don't think you do. Just pointing out the folly of believing a "uk" ring tone means anything. Might help the OP when dealing with people who really are spammers.

Thanks but I'm not a naive numpty
My angle was that I would never think Phil would spoof anything like that, it just is not something that would cross my mind regarding him. He's told me when he's been out of the country so I guess I just trust him more.
