"Is he a Vulcan? He has the look of Spock about him..." That is a logical conclusion. Caroline Lucas also has the look of a Vulcan. I suppose people will call for Fedexit if a Klingon or Romulan turns up in the Foreign Office.... | |||

"Didn't help people who work through a ltd company claiming they only earn minimum pay, whilst paying very little tax on their dividends either! What about those poor souls?!" Corporation tax of 19% and then 7.5% dividend tax on earnings above £2000. If you go into higher rate then it’s 19% corp and 32.5% dividend tax so 51.5%. Higher rate paye is 40% but the NI is reduced to 2% so only 42%. So 26.5% at least, less then paye but once you add in the cost of overheads that need to be paid for from earned income, insurance, accounting etc, late or no payment risks, no holiday or sick, all the unpaid hours doing the admin it’s not the bed of Rosie’s the sad envious ones envisage. | |||

"No money for the self employed until June. How does that help those living hand to mouth stay at home? "The self employed usually have a reputation for being resilient, savvy, innovative. I should know, I hear it. I'm self employed as are the majority of people I work with. If I was skint until June I might consider going to the bank and asking for a loan. Imagine that? A service that could provide you with money on a temporary basis? I might ask for the mortgage holiday or the rent holiday that Rishi has put on the table. I might look at how little I then need to spend because I can't go anywhere so no travel costs, no holidays, no boozy nights out getting a £40 taxi at 3am. No non-essential home maintenance etc etc. "He's also going to increase tax on the self employed without providing anymore security and after numbers have shot up after 2008. Hmmm." I have always paid whatever taxes HMRC have taken from me. They give me a tax code the same as the employed. I pay it. If they add something like Class4 NI I pay. I have to. If they alter NI contributions I'll have to pay those too. You say "...without providing anymore security..." what do you think this rescue package is? It's not candy floss. "Dance for us" - please consider myself excluded from your 'us'. It makes you look ridiculous. | |||

"I have been self-employed. The banks were always trying to force overdrafts on me. Resilient with deep savings. I wasn't doing multiple minimum wage jobs though. I wasn't just keeping my head above water. That's not resilience. That's desperation at the best of times. What a heartless response. What a tough guy. If you choose to earn in exactly the same as an employee without any of the benefits, then that's your choice, bit as you are so "savvy" that's got to be a smart move.

So the gross profit will already have been efficiently taxed. I’m sure if it wasn’t the most efficient tax method for LLC Directors the majority of accounting professionals wouldn’t recommend it? The expenses are paid from earned income that an employee wouldn’t be paying, so you can’t just compare the tax rates as though nothing else is a factor. At one time it was very advantageous to be incorporated but the advantages have been reduced and almost nullified, I’m talking about a proper business, multiple customers and suppliers not someone working full time for the bbc, for example, with no risk and virtually no overhead. The limited liability is why a lot of people with businesses are still Ltd I’m also talking about a “proper business” The advice offered by accountants still remains that the most efficient way for a director to be paid from their Ltd company is by basic salary and dividend. If you read what I posted I also said you would be marginally better of for the purposes of taxation, not the massive margin you illustrated and you loose the advantages of being employed. You are still an employee of the Ltd company and on PAYE And we finally come back to the sarcastic comments of the OP that drew me into this meaningless conversation, we are not classed as employees and able to access the retention scheme and we are also not self employed. I’m not posting any more on this so fill your boots " ok. Im sure there will be many directors who are now wishing they had been less tax efficient. | |||

"I have been self-employed. The banks were always trying to force overdrafts on me... What a heartless response... I'm delighted not to be associated with you "If you felt the banks were 'trying to force overdrafts on [you]' that is unfortunate. However, they simply cannot 'force' an overdraft on you. They may ask if you want one and you decline. You shouldn't feel victim. And my response was not heartless. I was merely illustrating an avenue for revenue in case there's not enough cotton wool to wrap around us all. Too many people don't see the opportunities we here in this first world western country have available to us. You're welcome Easy. | |||

You're welcome Easy."It was a figure of speech. Lots of people seem to struggle with those in this forum. Not surprising that you didn't address theain point but chose to focus on a detail. Another characteristic of many who post here. Well done in seeing the "opportunities" available to those who were barely earning enough to survive before and now will not receive anything until June if they which to do the right thing for themselves and others by staying at home. Your sunny disposition and unbounded warmth is something we could all aspire to | |||

"Isn't it great that anyone who practices Corbynism is a hero unless it's Corbyn himself? When Corbyn suggested using borrowed money to lift the common man, he was told he would bankrupt the country and did he have a magic money tree? He we are not four months later handing out the money we were told didn't exist? Or is everyone in such a state of relief they don't care." You don't think that the situation has changed some what in four months? Get a grip. | |||

" The situation may have changed but money that was postulated as being impossible to borrow is now being borrowed - and if it was going to bankrupt us then it will still bankrupt us now.

"A quick calculation ... Employee: £50,000 salary - tax payable c. £7,500 Director (basic+dividend method) £12,000 basic salary + £38,000 dividend - tax payable c. £2,700 Plus £7220 corporation tax on the £38k So £9920 The employed would also have NI to pay that would, as I said take his total cost higher then the owner director but only by a relatively small amount and once you add the other costs risk etc in the employed in a lot of cases are better off Dividends are profits that are remaining after all business expenses and liabilities, plus any Corporation Tax and VAT have been paid. So the gross profit will already have been efficiently taxed. I’m sure if it wasn’t the most efficient tax method for LLC Directors the majority of accounting professionals wouldn’t recommend it? The expenses are paid from earned income that an employee wouldn’t be paying, so you can’t just compare the tax rates as though nothing else is a factor. At one time it was very advantageous to be incorporated but the advantages have been reduced and almost nullified, I’m talking about a proper business, multiple customers and suppliers not someone working full time for the bbc, for example, with no risk and virtually no overhead. The limited liability is why a lot of people with businesses are still Ltd I’m also talking about a “proper business” The advice offered by accountants still remains that the most efficient way for a director to be paid from their Ltd company is by basic salary and dividend. If you read what I posted I also said you would be marginally better of for the purposes of taxation, not the massive margin you illustrated and you loose the advantages of being employed. You are still an employee of the Ltd company and on PAYE And we finally come back to the sarcastic comments of the OP that drew me into this meaningless conversation, we are not classed as employees and able to access the retention scheme and we are also not self employed. I’m not posting any more on this so fill your boots ok. Im sure there will be many directors who are now wishing they had been less tax efficient." Well if the government was sincere about everyone self isolating they would have protected everyone. But since they haven't, don't be surprised if Directors are putting the risk of financial ruin before the risk of spreading COVID-19. Really worried about people dying of the virus but not worried enough to swallow their pride and buy ventilators with hhe EU. Brexit first. Lives second. | |||
