Scare Mongering Emails???

[jammer]

Hi All,

So I just checked my email this morning and opened this lovely little ditty ...

It's clearly designed to freak me out (at least that's what I think) and get me on the phone to them but is there any shred of truth in here? I do have cash in my business account that is a war chest of sorts until I get my next contract.

Cheers,

J

As a contractor, if you have ‘cash’ held in your limited company, HMRC has moved the goalposts.
From April 4th 2020, IR35 tax legislation means you will pay 40% tax on it.
In less than two months, all contractors in the UK will be affected by the change.
And you really don’t want to face unexpected business tax bills, especially if you are closing it down.
But you still have time to legally extract all your monies via a remuneration plan and keep 85%.

I'd turned off at this point. Standard clickbait/scam type opening. You see it so often on Facebook. You know the type of post. Fake police warnings, or chain posts that tell you to share something or whatever.

No decent company uses this type of marketing. Anything that tells you what to do goes straight in the bin for me. Reading past it further backs this up.

Send this to the House of Lords as an example of the kind of bottom-feeders this 'reform' is empowering. There will be people who will fall for this out of fear of what the Treasury is doing, and they (the Treasury) are taking no responsibility for the fallout of their actions.

But please don't let that other poster who's already contacted the Lords do it.
