Tron - Are you an accountant or a DBA? I asked you a question, you knew how to get the answer but rather than doing that you gave me another job to do. Give me results, not more work. You are through to the next round, just, but must think the Big Picture

if someone is on a £75k salary, why aren't they running their own business instead, earning more and paying less tax?

very subtle willy-wave there WC

What's the salary level at which willy-waving is warranted?

Maybe soon for some it'll just be having a job....bloomin' Tories 😉

if someone is on a £75k salary, why aren't they running their own business instead, earning more and paying less tax?

That doesn't really make sense to me - depends on the business they're in?

£75k salary - you see about half of that.
£75k net profit in your own business - you see about 75% of it with a good accountant.

"£75k salary - you see about half of that." No almost exactly 2/3 of it. £50k or £4200/month.

Take off other taxes you'll pay on everything you buy (that you can claim back with your own business) and you'll be down to about half.

Because some of us make the choice to not use tax avoidance/evasion techniquies so that we pay our fair share.

Take off other taxes you'll pay on everything you buy (that you can claim back with your own business) and you'll be down to about half.

What other taxes? Take home pay on a salary is determined by income tax and NI conributions.

Well.........

If it's Salary and you've got no choice then, assuming a standard tax code and no pension contribution. Takehome should be [b]~ £4200 (ish)[/b]*

Earning 75k as a Salary it's well worth looking at tax options and using dividend income as an alternative.

Net cost to a company for a Salary of 75k is likely to be around £84000 with Emp NI. So you could negotiate a long term contract and supply your services as a business. Set a Ltd company, register for VAT etc. it may be a bit of a pain but other benefits are you can expence travel, lunch, etc.

Say the business invoices 80,000+VAT a year for your services.
Take a salary of 15000
Expences of 5000
Net P&L ~60000

So take off CT & Tax on divs and add back in you 15k a year salary your takehome is going to be [b]~ £5000 ish[/b]*

[i]*This is all guestimated and could be hugely wrong[/i]

Whoaaa, two very different things

Avoidance = Legal and why wouldn't you?

Evasion = Illegal

To be fair, claiming expenses against your business which are not related to it but the personal is arguably evasion, even though it is wide spread.

Yes it is, however it isn't black and white. There are things which are open to interpretation as to whether they constitute the former or the latter.

Perhaps, but plenty of people contributed to my tertiary eduction (for example) from which I have personally benefited. I see it as my responsibility to pay my fair share and contribute back to society. This may well sound "quaint" to you but I simply see it as "doing my bit" for society in general.

Take off other taxes you'll pay on everything you buy (that you can claim back with your own business) and you'll be down to about half.

Then add on the pension contributions from your employer, sick pay, holiday pay, paternity leave, private health, dental, company car most likely.... hmmmm forgot about that?

It was a simple question and has been answered thanks.

Not sure how the willy waving stuff works? Does everyone in recruitment earn more that the person being recruited? Our HR babe must be on an absolute packet!

That kind of thing is often a big fat pisstake imo. Sure, if you really do use your house for work, ok, but people claim for everything they can possibly think of regardless of if they would've bought it anyway. Might as well claim cat-food as 'pest prevention technician expenses'.

I'm self employed technically, and all I've claimed for is a copy of Office and a new laptop, since I didn't want to leave Mrs Grips without one when I went away.

Really?
You're not vat registered/on flat rate vat? You take all your income as salary, none as dividends?

No different imo to buying a new bike on C2W each year.

All I've *claimed* for I said, as in expenses for work.

I do salary and dividends, and a little unfairly. When I'm more sorted I'll up the salary as it's a bit piss-takey now.

Income Tax £1,660.83
NI £376.66

Net £4,212.50

That's for under 65s

You need to work more unsocial hours then, I know what I get and I'm not at the top of 6. Very close though but yeah not £75k but then it's not private sector.

Pay plenty of corporation tax even if personal taxes are lower so thanks for the high and mighty sentiment you bunch of salary slaves. I guess you are just bitter you haven't worked out how to do it yourselves have you? Those nasty tax dodging, nice car driving people with their financial prudence... 😉

Drac - Been there done that – managed ward and still earn nothing like half of 75k – now work in community so work ‘office’ hours – plus they are not called unsocial hours for nothing

But they only work six hours a day and have huge holidays.

Get the company to buy your (or more correctly its) next bike.

Don't need to get involved in c2w, as the company owns the asset and writes it off over 12 months - dispose as required. My 456Ti is almost written down 😆

br is right. Did C2W for two bikes then just bought the third directly through the company. Way easier and more choice.

How win friends the Surf-Mat way 🙄

Actually with the changes to C2W this week unless you own your own company the new right off rules make it worthless to almost everyone. Many companies have dropped it and people already in C2W will possibly getting a shock at the end of their schemes.

I am worried that if I earned 75k then I would have no time to go biking.

Having said that the few hours I get are for a disproportionate drop in salary.

Boo hoo

ivantate - you don't EARN 75K, you get paid it. In my experience you there is a curve where the more you get paid , the harder you work but at some point this flattens out and you get paid more without working more and eventually reach the point where you get paid more and work less.

I just need to work out how to get there now.
