I think you are preaching to a tired audience. If you really have time I suggest you trawl through previous posts of mineOriginally posted by Subsignal View PostWhy is it that anyone who mentions tax avoidance is "tarred" with being a salesperson - my original point was meant to be flippant but does make a serious point (sort of) that I thought might spark some intersting/entertaining answers!
It seems though, that, as always, rather than just answering the post, certain individuals have to try and show how "clever" they are by "revealing" a salesperson or troll or whatever....
So, no, not selling just using up a bit of spare time.......
- this topic has been argued ad infinitum and guess what? I won.
We are now helping the great new Entrepreneurs of our time Atw and pooperscoop to earn enough money to bring them into the bottom level tax bracket - advice is welcome as there is still a long way to goLast edited by DodgyAgent; 13 March 2012, 12:22.

An admirable service- but they don't all disappear with the punter's dosh do they?Originally posted by cojak View PostI just try to steer people away from being participants in threads like BN66, or Talent Management, or Consulting Overseas or Loans from EBTs or other Trusts or any of the other tax avoidance schemes where the providers disappear with the punter's dosh before the tax man turns up knocking on the door...
Thanks for the Freeman info though!

BN66* isn't quite that bad, but the taxman did turn up and no-one's offering to pay their tax bills.

You're a loony, aren't you?Originally posted by Subsignal View PostSurely all of us paying full tax and NI working through an umbrella or a "fair amount" of tax through our Ltd Co would better serve the country by using a Tax Avoidance scheme?
Most people agree that the govt. waste our tax money anyway, so, if we all had more disposable income through not paying any tax, we'd buy more stuff, create more jobs and get the economy going......
And a Freeman to boot I'll bet!

I pay workmen, cleaners, etc cash in hand where possible.
I'd rather these working people had the money than the ConDems.

Firstly this is not my sockie
Secondly you are preaching to the converted.
Thirdly (
) If you were a proper troll you would be insisting on more tax
