First job on day one: Set your salary at just below £9.5k, that way you don't pay National Insurance.

Then take a Dividend from the profits, the Company will pay the Corporation Tax and you will just be liable for Dividend Tax at a much lower rate,

If you can't beat them...

We have our finance dept all sorted, this is all new to me, I didn't know how much you can write off in your own business.

Also.means I have more control.of money going to the children which I can direct rather than a set amount paying for.my exes ciggies and prosecco.

Although after they have said they will trial a four day week - fine, but it'd better be on the Scottish dime on not ours.

I've totally changed my mind, I'm totally happy for.an independent Scotland. I think it will help both our country's overall. We can't stay as it is.

Superb. We are living in a world beyond satire.

I was using your status to illustrate what the fat cat directors always do to avoid National Insurance and lower their personal tax. NI is for the workers not the elite.

We are quite a big country.

I know that, I was just surprised if was still so high. I hope that doesn't mean that hundreds of thousands are added to the job seeking market in a few weeks when it finishes

Oh goodie.

Run for office.

You'd be greaaat, as Tony the Tiger might say...

Analytics and jiggery-pokery (your trade I believe?) are partly responsible for this shitshow.

I don't waste my time boning up on bollocks I have ZERO control over.

I read to improve my professionalism, the rest of my time I single-handedly thrash nobby colleges on 'University Challenge', and watch Minder re-runs and Richard Osman's House of Games...

The most inept politicians would laugh their cocks off reading threads like this...

As would some of the most inept footballers, managers and coaches reading other threads.

That's why they do it for a living and 99.9% of you, erm, don't...

Actually, we're in the 'great resignation' period I believe. People being told they have to go back to the office, are going bugger that. People have realised they'd rather have less cash and a better quaility of life (well, those that can afford to make a choice anyway) and that a lot of the extra wage was just going to support the work lifestyle.

If you are looking for a job in certain sectors, you can pick and choose at the moment and if you are not getting the deal you want, then you go elsewhere.

Bit harsh, i wasn't being sarcastic.

I was waiting for your humourous take on things.

I'm frankly disappointed - I'd already mentally composed a humblebrag reply about being the first from my immediate family of working class folk, to self-finance my way through THREE Universities 🙁...

I don't mind these threads tbh, having a read of them being much cheaper than 'Sominex' (Promethazine - also present in 'Night Nurse') during rare occurrences of insomnia.

Don't bother with any other OTC sleep aids, they don't work.

My 'comedy' stylings usually consist of stuff like 'Michael Gove took that Ecstasy rectally'...

Much to the chagrin of PaulHanley, who tells me to 'grow up'...

When there's probably eight or nine years max difference in our ages.

I took your: 'Oh goodie' as in here comes the village idiot to ruin serious political discourse.

Apologies.

Theres no need for furlough at such high levels...80% whatever

The onus should be on those receiving it to mitigate their losses and find something temporary 

 

Most do, but frankly it's an economic drop in the ocean at this rate. People losing work through no fault of their own such still be supported IMO.

I'm pretty sure the rules are that you're not allowed to apply for other jobs or carry out other paid work whilst furloughed... That was the whole point of it wasn't it? So employers wouldn't just make everyone redundant....

Lots of people lose jobs through no fault of their own

They don't get supported for a couple of years
