I thought - there goes the extra holiday and now find I have nearly doubled my bank this week on all these weird games but then going from 3s/6 d to 6 bob wouldn't make history |

It's these huge corporations that need reigning in imo
Avoidance costs countries billions in untaxed income |

By:
nearly 7 bob come to think of it

I'm sure most have done the old cash purchase off the books one tine or another. All I'm saying is you can't have the bread buttered on both sides.

80% of £2 profit - £1.60, job done quids in
|
|
By:
are accountants at work or are offices closed?
It's there busiest time of the year right now |
|
By:
It depends on whether people have been taking the p***.
Personally, I've been on both sides, employed and self-employed through a limited company several years ago. However, an IT contractor (for example), earning perhaps £350+ per day, yet paying themselves a salary sub-£12,500 per year and taking everything else they earn as dividends, deserves everything they're now (not) getting as far as I'm concerned. At least do the decent thing and pay yourself a salary of £50K, so you don't breach the 40% tax threshold, as a bare minimum. |

By:
Also cider, after several very poor years I have just had a good un. But the extra earnings have been getting paid into my bank for months before the virus existed. It will be inarguable that I've just had a rare good year.

If we don't look after the self-employed of this country, they are likely to look beyond these shores and flourish elsewhere.
Our plumbers could go to Poland. |

By:
Look at Aus, nobody is getting a bean over there paye or s/e, it's complete uproar

Sorry - it is based on the average declared profits for the 3 years to 2018/19 not the 2018/19 years alone.

black cabs will be stacked up tomorrow fighting over fares, joining,tim martin,mike Ashley,next etc in taking the pish
|
|
By:
There'll be others benefiting from a better year three years ago saddo. It's a win some lose some scenario.
|
|
By:
people not lost a days work,certain people gaining income,now getting free grants and can carry on working as usual tomorrow,the magic money tree on the Columbian marching powder ,free money everywhere
|
|
By:
A scammers delight - all those emails going out asking for bank details to pay in your HMRC Coronavirus Support Payment.
|
|
By:
I'm not moaning cider, just saying that there is no easy way for anyone with books to commit fraud over this. The jealous ones are assuming that all the self employed can just flick a fiddle switch, idiots really.
|
|
By:
If anything the fiddlers will lose out. Given the circumstances it's about as good as Rishi could have done. There will be people applying for grants who aren't in any need at all, merrily earning from home, but unavoidable in the bigger picture. They could have perhaps looked at clawing it back after this year's return is known.
|
|
By:
It's a wet dream scenario for the Nigerians and the book worms
|
|
By:
I very much doubt they will just take peoples's word and not check for discrepancies when the accounts are submitted.
|
|
By:
so to get this right the government now encouraging people to break their lockdown by offering them 2,500 quid a month,the worlds gone mad,you,d have thought self isolating would be a caveat to claim the grant
|
|
By:
They won't have the resources for investigations or close scrutiny. It's totally within the rules to carry on earning so some people will be getting an effective bung of almost 3 months profit.
|
|
By:
There will be legal adverts 24/7 in Pakistan advising people how to rob the UK blind
I've seen them before when I have been watching cricket |
|
By:
I never saw the announcement cider, I think anyone still working has no need to claim owt, that seems flawed.
|
|
By:
Of course some of em might be earning next to nowt to stay afloat
|
|
By:
I assume it's because there's no way to differentiate between who can still work during lockdown and who can't.
|
|
By:
No easy way anyhoo.
|
|
By:
Yes, perfection is difficult in a few days.
|
|
By:
I believe him when he said the overriding factor was that it needed to be deliverable.
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
no but paying people and telling them they can carrymon working goes against police fining you for going for a 2nd walk, even if they wernt going to police it why not say you,ll only get it if you self isolate,cant see a downside to that,utter incompetency imo,be ripped apart tomorrow by media suspect

By:
Cider, I think the gov have done as well as possible in the circumstances, there will always be those trying it on in chaotic situations.
