Chesterfield Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 If only that were true. Well maybe it is, perhaps HMRC are buying a company aventador with mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Down from 23% to 21% today though, so not all bad news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Thats true - certainly good for UK business. Anything to close the gap on Ireland etc and it will become more viable for those companies who "base" there to simply pay the tax here instead. That may lead to the ability to lower it further, or at least reintroduce some spending. Im straying into politics though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chesterfield Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 The Vat is fun too. Its just like being a collection agency for HMRC but without getting paid for the job. Then theres the bit where you cant do cash accounting anymore, so you have to account for the money being yours at the moment of invoice, regardless of whether the money has physically come in or not. It means if somebody takes more than 3 months to pay, then you get to pay HMRC the value of the VAT on your invoice, regardless of whether you have been paid or not. Its a right barrel of laughs Husky - give it a whirl. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbitstew Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 does everyone on here bar me own there own business ? I dont. I pay PAYE on my earnings and so 40% of everything I earn gets taken by the tax man. However, I do the company I work for`s accounts hence responsible for paying their corporation tax. However, nearly all of my mates seem to be self employed or run their own limited business`s these days by the looks of it. I guess that explains why they all have money to burn and yet i dont. Think I need to look into if theres anyway I can reduce the tax I pay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
