This is a forum like many others its purpose is to give advice and info to people with sensible or not so sensible questions. A forum is in-place to gain knowledge.. Its not a place to slag and use abusive language. I can ask whatever i wish.. The smartarse / W@nkers are people like you and the other two who like to waste time by posting up petty comments. And anyone else for that matter who wants to comment.. Read the original question if you dont have an answer then dont bother replying.

You are correct to some extent as to the uses of a forum, however you fail to grasp that we are entitled to decide whether to dispense that knowledge or to treat you as a fool or an imposter.
Your English was awful in the first post, you then said you learned English in 6 months. You were then asked if that was true. You have failed to explain yourself and we therefore have every right to be suspicious. We have had more than our fair share of idiots and some contractor boards have been infiltrated by Hectors on fishing trips for quotes.

Some people don't know how this forum works!

It is useful and lots of experience here if you tap it in the right way!! Yes, some of the "insults" can be cutting but if you have been 'lurking' before your first post it is easy to assess the flavour of how to post.

In general, IMHO people need to see that you are serious about running an LTD as a business!!

And clicking on search before posting isn't a bad idea either.

OK, let's take one of your questions:

also another question whats stopping me from setting up a ltd and then winding it up before the year and kinda not pay any tax at all and say to hector

Answers - well, (a) it's illegal and carries a ten-year jail sentence, (b) Companies House records mean you'll get caught, (c) you make the rest of us honest contractors look bad, (d) people deliberately scamming the rules makes it much harder to defend our LtdCos as anything other than a tax evasion mechanism (which is why we got IR35 in the first place) and (e) all of these points have been answered before, in detail.

So stop trying to impress everyone, you're failing badly. Not big, not clever, not honest - so exactly why should we take any notice of you opinions? No, don't answer that, it is a rhetorical question.

Just love the newbies who kick off by telling us what this forum is for....

Haven't quite got the hang of it, have you? Ask sensible questions, get sensible answers. Ask stupid ones, get less than respectful ones. Act the smartarse and look, another w*nker.

If you don't like the answers, fine, who cares. It's not us who looks stupid.

So you still didn't tell us your story ? Where did you come from to learn English in 6 months?



Which is utter bull from yourself by the way. You sound more like White Van Man.

I see you had trouble comprehending my last reply to you. Obviously you seem unable to refrain yourself from making petty comments. Anyway I suggest you take up another hobby imstead of replying snidely to these threads - thats not their purpose !

Ooh, very la-di-dah when pushed, aren't we?

Pay your dues or piss off - it makes no odds to us if you go down...

Piss off yourself pal same goes to the original loud mouth.. Its no ones business but mine how I conduct my business. I simply came on here to ask some advice and a big thankyou to ASB one of the more decent members .. I will repeat (to the members who have a problem understanding) if no one has any advice to give then keep your petty comments to yourself please.

"Thanks for that advice Angela_D. I have taught myself english in 6 months. I think I have done quite well. Why dont you try and learn another language in the same time-scale and get back to me!"

I have learnt other languages. Given your use of the vernacular I suspect porkies here. I think you are being disingenuous.

Tell us more and give us your NI number.

Now you're saying that you've immigrated from somewhere into Britain without English and now you want to take work and illegally avoid taxation. And on top, you expect free advice from Brits on how to do that !

Pay your due taxes or piss off.

Pillock.

Angela_D You can suspect whatever you wish. Who the hell do you think you are? Wanting my NI number. NO one asked you to reply to my thread especially when you had no positive advice to give on my query. It clearly appears to me that you've swallowed a thesaurus instead of taking the pills your psychiatrist has prescribed you. Please don't take offence but we are all here to help each other but you have instigated bad feeling by your very first nonsensical reply - advising me I need to take adult literacy, the nerve !! Anyway I would appreciate it if you would keep your abusive comments to yourself in future.

@ ASB, zeitghost, Thanks again for the input guys its appreciated

Thanks ASB quite alot of info there..
I had another question what if one was to setup an offshore company 1) Would the UK clients / Agencys pay into that offshore account and 2) Would I get away with paying less tax?

1) Probably not. But you could incorporate one company offshore, which you are employed by. Then a second in the UK. The UK company invoice the agent. The offshore company invoices the UK. You must not be a director of the UK co or "have the power of a director" (this is difficult to avoid of course). Your exact circumstances will detail whether this can be effective. It depends on your domicile, whether you are ordinarily resident and some other things. It is sailing very close to the wind but in some limited cases may yield benefits.

2) See 1. But you will need very good professional advice. It is expensive. It is also worth buying a couple of books on offshore tax planninng. They are expensive and the rules continually change. You get it wrong and the penalties are severe if caught (and you normally are). You could even be looking at jail time.

The easiest way to pay no tax is simply to not hand it over and hope to do a bunk before anybody catches up with you. Not a sound strategy.
