You are labouring under a misapprehension: You prefer the puppet on the right, who is dressed in blue; you dislike the puppet on the left, who is dressed in red. In fact, there is one man operating both of them.

Oh, I like that...thats a good one....

It appears the UK in allowing single person Ltd companies is out of line with Europe and there must be pressure for the UK to conform, so the likelihood of Ltd companies working in the same manner as now is, in my opinion, not a long term option to rely on. Therefore I think it is best to make use of it whilst the going is good, after that, then oh well at least it is the same for everybody!

It's easy. Keep your salary and NI payments to a bare minimum and stick your fingers in your ears and start whistling if your hear the words IR35 or investigation. Works for me !

And me, every now and then I find myself reading up on IR35 and all the doom and gloom comes flooding back... then I work out the risk to gain ratio and forget all about it, ignoring it is a very good value bet.

I miss Denny!

**** off
Seriously


Oh wait that was Lucy... I get confused between all the crazy banned 'females'

[oracleslave]

Have we wronged you in some way OS? Is this some kind of sick retribution? I for one unreservedly apologise for whatever it was.

No denying she was entertaining...in a reality tv car crash kind of way.

I vote we bring back Denny. She used to initiate those quite well.

Has there been any 'proper' business debates of late ? I used to enjoy them.

Or......

a) start a 'proper' business

and

b) take the business and frack off to another country with it

Even if the Conservatives get in, I don't believe that they will be in any hurry to repeal IR35 and definitely will not clamp down on work permit abuse. Also, any repeal wouldn't be retrospective so current rules would apply for this financial year etc.

You are labouring under a misapprehension.

No, I'm afraid I'm not. There's a certain irony in most of my posts in this forum. Sorry if you missed it...

Oh OK. Let's stick with NL then. At least we know our increased taxes will be going to the flipless layabouts watching daytime TV.

After all, it's only fair that those that can be bothered have to support those that can't be arsed...

... until they get in... then "Oh! Post Credit Crunch woes and a bad summer = piss off whores and pay-up now and always!".

Do we really think a) they'll get in and b) they'll repeal it quickly enough to prevent us all paying fat bills first?

Or as with most devious governments will they take the opportunity to claw in all the payments first, then repeal IR35 legislation to great publicity once the real damage has been done.
