Lol. There are consultants working alongside me at my current contract who pay no tax at all. They are prt of some loophole company setup by a former director at Delloitte, whereby they get paid in Bellarussian roubels and the upshot is they pay no tax and its legit.
i know a group of city IT contractors who do the same thing, most of them work at barclays
they formed their own company to do it but i think they are officially based in croatia
they are mates, i went to school with tme but their slaries are 100k+
– porsches, motorbikes,etc etc couple of flats in london, one of them just took 6 months off to go on holiday
they pay about the same tax as me
its all legal but it does piss me off, the funny thing is they were constantly whinging about how labour were fcking up the country and couldnt wait for the torries to get in so they could make even more money!?!
the thing is will they still qualify for child benefit as tehir taxable income is certainly under 45k?
