Are these the same ones he breaks during the day ?

As for you little man, you got caught with your pants down, then whinged to all and sundry about the injustice.
Oh and the link I posted earlier was to a topic on this forum. Searchable by all.
Why waste your energy with all this bitching? It's not big and it's not clever.

You mention someone earning £50-60K a day, versus "up to say £800 a day".
How do new consultancy companies start, can they only be started by more than 1 person?
Is it only after a couple of years of only being a 1 man company that the goverment then deem you as never going to become a "real" consultancy with more than 1 employee?
Define "long term" as well. Are you ok if all your contracts are less than a year? What if one slips over that long term line?
What if you have 2 long term contracts concurrently, the first 2 days a week, the 2nd 3 days a week?
What if you have a normal 5 days a week contract, and do PC repair nights and the weekend like Suity? (no dig at Suity at all here by the way, a very good example to use here).
Does the fact we have no employee rights not affect our employment status? We don't get holiday pay, sick pay and we have to risk not being a cushy employee to go out and hunt for work. Quite frankly the whole system is backwards, outdated and injust. Just think of the fact that the very people setting these tax policies go on to avoid paying tax themselves (God only knows how much these politicians actually make). And let's not forget the whole expenses scandal which still goes on today....
The fact is you have every right to avoid paying as much tax as possible(legally) cos otherwise you are just being screwed over by the taxman to the max. And it's not like we get good value for the tax we pay anyway.

Why do you have to come on here to be nasty and aggressive? You rarely contribute anything constructive or helpful, infact I'm not sure you ever have. The only time you aren't having a go at someone is when you are bragging. Maybe it's the kick of acting like a troll?
I would have thought that now you have a son and a missus that would have calmed you down a bit, but it seems not. Perhaps in real life you are a nice bloke and you just don't translate in cyberspace.

Nothing in the budget about using networks of companies to avoid paying tax then?
