What is everyone going to do assuming HMR&C and Osborne get their way?

[DimPrawn]

The fact all we now have is an entrepreneurial economy would suggest keeping it is a good idea, but it seems Osborne's only wish is to bankrupt the UK as fast as possible so my statement is invalid.

I think he's looking forward to leaving a note to the next Labour chancellor "This is how you REALLY AND PROPERLY screw up an economy and a country, you amateurs."

What pains me most is folk running around calling him a genius.

The amount of pain and grief caused in his utterly futile attempt to remove the deficit is astonishing.

...turnover is double that...

Move with the times and stay up to date, and there is plenty of money to be made.

Good work! I take it you rake in around 100ph? You want to give us a hint about where we can get that sort of cash too

Yep - well that and why he's so obsessed with his debt target. Why it can't be a year or two later I've no idea.

Multiple clients and a good day rate.

So you include VAT in your turnover figure? Nice.

Only the residual after accounting for FRS.

I used to do the budget for a regulatory project for a LLoyd's of London insurer in the city. We were a team of 6, our boss earned £2,700 a day, plus expenses.
