    Pension contributions limited to 30k pa

    Got this in some email from ContractorFinancials, not that I use them for anything: Been used to H-L, much as I like them, scaremongering about the end of higher rate tax relief for some time but this tighter annual cap sounds much more likely than abolishing it altogether. It would mean a...

    Is this the end of Tax Free Divis?

    I'd be amazed if most self employed tradesmen pay tax on more than 50% of what they actually earn. Try finding anyone to work on your house who will actually take a cheque for payment.

    Breaking: Gordon Brown caught on microphone calling a woman as "bigoted person"

    Exactly, that's the whole point. It changed sometime ago but the voters themselves didn't realise what was going on. They are only just getting it. That is thanks to the biggest propaganda machine since Hitler and Stalin were in power, including the full complicity of the trade unions supposed...

    Breaking: Gordon Brown caught on microphone calling a woman as "bigoted person"

    Just watched the whole lot on Sky, I think this is a really significant cock up that could affect poll ratings. It shows the contempt with which he views normal people that he purports to represent. I just hope it sinks in with the fools that still support Labour. As Simon Heffer states...

    Getting the perfect lawn

    Moss is like socialism, if left to spread and fester for too long it become tricky to irradicate.

    I know its been asked before but optimum Dividends payment frequency / amount

    There can't be many contractors starting out who can afford to take dividends only once a year. I shifted from monthly to quarterly once I had enough in reserve.

    Personal data safe in Labour's hands?

    That's pretty sick even by Labour standards.

    Lib dem observation

    According to recent polls 30% of the public don't know who Nick Clegg is, and 19% thought he was leader of the BNP. Yet 20% are thinking of voting Lib Dem. When the general public are so stupid you can see why Labour think they have a good chance of winning the election.

    General election issues which they won't touch

    I think only UKIP would address most or all of the above.

    contracting gravy train only temporary until india takes over

    That's a bit colonial thinking. Why do the managers have to be British? Why can't they be Indian? Don't think they can do the job? In fact they have the advantage of speaking the language of the offshore staff. I think there will always be some relatively well paid work in the city, but...

    IFA Pension Fund set up charges

    Be warned iii is crap compared to H-L. They never send you anything at all, not even once a year. In fact I am thinking about moving my ISAs from iii to H-L unless they get their act together soon. I sometimes think H-L send you too much stuff in the post, but it's the opposite with iii.

    Returning to perm is almost impossible

    The one thing I will be glad of, if I ever go back to being a permie, is being able to take 25-30 days holiday without feeling guilty that I'm losing money or pricing lost earnings into the holiday cost etc. There is also the "make hay while the sun shines" argument that also makes one reluctant...

    sasguru banned? Missed that...Why?

    I'm sure I saw him having a meal with someone who looked like a Car Supermarket salesman in a "Scottish Steakhouse" the other day. He was wearing a panama hat and there was a Toyota Aygo or something like that parked nearby.

    Train strike - 6-9 April

    They need to expand the DLR and make the entire tube and train network have robot driverless trains. This strike could be expensive for London contractors. If it goes ahead I think we should set up an agency to bring in Indian railworkers to replace the strikers. Payback time against the...
