The technology I dev for started in 2003 and although bits have changed an awful lot of it hasn't.

Pointing out i've 18 years of experience and know exactly where most of the bodies of failed projects are buried doesn't do me any harm......

[eek]

HMRC will be outside and probably via Equal Experts (or at least that is the consultancy / agency they used to use....

[eek]

HMRC's logic will be that HR are not supposed to read anything into a tax code - as if that is the case in the real world......

[eek]

Love to know where you can insure the risk of an agency going belly up, factoring companies don't work like that.

But equally I don't particularly want a small agency potentially owing me 2 months money (monthly billing on 30 day terms)....

[eek]

That's the thing - all this tax change does is to create a race to create instruments that look like cash investments but aren't subject to the tax....

[eek]

A job......

PSL will determine who the agency will work with so you ask the agent for the list and the Key Information Documents for the umbrellas on the PSL

Avoid any that won't talk about pension contributions as chances are they will be looking to play games to earn a few more quid in a way they...

If you can go when they are doing a tour - I didn't on one and to be frank without it the museum was a bit meh, what was behind this.

Earlier in the day we did the https://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/.../old-dock-tour which was very good....

[eek]

Have you followed the end results or the day to day proceedings?

I suspect this is very much how the full court case goes but the judgement rarely focusses on any of the anger - it will focus on the law and ignore the sales pitches..

I do think that watching an tribunal unless...

The Western Approaches museum in Liverpool has an permanent exhibition on the Wrens - it was about the best part of the museum.

[eek]

Put it this way - I'm glad I don't use an accountant.

But don't stress over what you are seeing today - what you are hearing today is attempts at mitigation that will only occur if Boox have lost the entire case...

And if Boox have lost there will be a lot more people panicking...

There liquidators are now chasing the money from any and all companies they can link to the delightful couple

It’s worse than that he’s asking people many of whom can code or even vibe code a similar system in no time at all.

the fact I’ve found Gmail has done the job for 20 years doesn’t help either. Apply for contract , phone rings find out name and quick search gives me the details...

[eek]

It's not how they do salary sacrifice into SIPPs it is how they use Salary sacrifice instead of the more typical 5% employer / 3% employee contribution and then pocket all or most of the NI savings that approach generates.

Now I can see the logic behind doing it but if you are going to...

[eek]

Parasol and Paystream are on my naughty boy steps for playing tricks with pensions and the fact they miss pensions off their KIDs to hide that fact a while longer...

[eek]

If you aren’t going for a SIPP look at the key information documents and avoid the ones who don’t list pensions as a employer deduction because there is a reason behind that - umbrellas are starting to use salary sacrifice games to pocket any employer NI savings from pensions....

[eek]

while pensions may be a personal decision - with the forthcoming salary sacrifice changes I would be throwing as much as possible into my pension pot before April 2029. After that you may as well take it as salary given the 15% tax....

[eek]

There are 2 things we currently know

1) Dan is doing something
2) everyone else has gone quiet.

One thing I do know is that no law firm such as Trethowans will want their name attached in the mind of the general public to money grabbing by failed tax avoidance schemes....

[eek]

Thinking about it overnight I was wondering if there is something incriminating within the documentation that they would need to send because an SAR really shouldn't be that difficult to deal with once you know the client. It's really just here is the paperwork we've already sent being sent again and...
