    Quandary - Wife's Tax Return

    Presumably for tax year 2016/2017 this argument is irrelevant? Income shifting and the new dividend tax will mean there is tax to pay and therefore by law an SA to complete for an otherwise non-working spouse with a 50/50 shareholding split up to the basic threshold?

    HMRC told to get a move on by MPs?

    Thought as much. Why let the facts get in the way of a good story eh?!

    HMRC told to get a move on by MPs?

    MPs tell HMRC to pick up the pace of tax investigations - BBC News Up to £10m of taxes avoided by 2,000 users of a scheme known as Liberty may not be recoverable, the Labour MP said, because in 30 cases HMRC failed to start inquiries into personal tax returns within the 12 month deadline. I...

    Mortgage Broker Fees

    Just been quoted a £695 fee for remortgaging by one of the main contractor mortgage brokers that frequent this board. This seems a lot considering I have to pull it out of my own pocket and can't add to mortgage. Do they all charge a fee these days? I recall some years ago dealing with a broker...

    Is £10k the optimal 2014/15 salary when 10% dividend tax credit is factored in?

    Same question. 50/50 split. One salary. No other income. 10k still?

    IR35 - Reviewed by 2 accountants

    Is this true? Does keeping low funds in company account make you less likely to get a visit from HMRC? I thought they could come after the Director if they needed to? Does anybody who has had experience of an IR35 investigation have any comments?

    Non-compete clause and IR35?

    That's all what I wanted to know. Thanks. (Opt in/out is irrelevant to me as there is no agency involved). I know plenty about IR35 thank you very much so stop going on the offensive from the word go about it. I used to like Judge Dredd until I saw your Avatar giving a bashing to every poor sod...

    Non-compete clause and IR35?

    By the speed of your answer I presume you really are desperate for that "Personality of the year award" for next year. Thanks for nothing by the way.

    Non-compete clause and IR35?

    Hi all, I have been offered an extension to my current contract which has a non-compete clause of 6 months added to it. With my current gig being in a niche sector this clause is never likely to get invoked as there are very few competitors out there anyway so I'm not bothered from a...

    Beyond 24 month and declaring inside IR35, will it be worth it??

    I negotiated a higher daily rate after 24 months to offset this impact.

    Beyond 24 month and declaring inside IR35, will it be worth it??

    Being at the same client for over 24 months and IR35 status are unconnected in my opinion. If you were outside IR35 for the first two years then there's a fair chance you will be outside IR35 post two years, unless your working practices have completely changed (I also do support activities and...
