The Times has written a piece today about the referees tax status case. There is a glaring omission, which has resulted in a significant error in their reporting. The Times reports that individuals pay less tax when they work via limited companies, by comparing income tax rates with dividend tax rates. The HUGE ERROR is that they have failed to take into account corporation tax. For high earning high-profile people, working via limited companies, they will be paying 25p out of each pound as corporation tax. The rate for dividends is 39.35%. The effective tax rate is 54.5%. Compared to employees who pay 45%. It's simply untrue to claim that people working via limited companies (earning more than about £70k) pay less tax than employees.

You need to bin #ir35 then - because it's killing the seeds of creation. Small businesses and the self-employed are bring crushed by #hmrc.

Hi @elonmusk, any possibility of donating a SpaceX flight suit? We’re at the UK’s National Space Centre in Leicester and think it’d be enormously inspiring for the young space explorers! #SpaceX #nationalspacecentre #UK #ESA

Maybe the MPs should start listening to the select committees in the HoC and HoL before waiving through the tripe that HMT/HMRC serve up from their ivory towers. #IR35 #LoanCharge

Rishi Sunak’s wife is earning tens of millions from her shares in a company still operating from Moscow. His tough talk on Putin’s regime is compromised by private conflict of interest. Why is he still refusing to answer questions about Infosys?

Rishi Sunak can go swivel after what he did to the self-employed. #NeverRishi

In case you missed the new Line of Duty🚨 Easter special 🥚 “You have put a knife through everything we as aspire to be as a nation. We will not be corrupted by you. You are finished here, Prime Minister. You are finished with lying to us.” @ByDonkeys 👇🏻

How dare PM claim to have got all the “big calls” right?  186,094 deaths & he missed 5 COBRA meetings, late into lockdowns, PPE preparedness fiasco, contracts to mates, £96.35 UK sick pay amongst worst in Europe; multiple school free-meal and exam fiascos #PMQs

Are we really going to let this Number 10 party go? No chance! Last Xmas was a misery . Listening to him standing up there telling us what we couldn’t do. Families not seeing each other , loved ones dying alone. Whilst him and his cronies party in a tax payer funded residence !

Except when it’s covid related of course….🤷🏻‍♂️…..

#LoanChargeScandal So, Jim Harra, CEO of HMRC, admits that the Loan Charge objective was to get people to settle on the scheme use, as opposed to paying the LC itself. So, it was a gun to the head, to give up on HMRC litigation, which the Rangers case indicated HMRC would lose.

There cannot be a single Conservative MP in the country who has not seen this film by now yet not one of them, not a single one, has had the backbone to condemn the Prime Minister for the shameful conduct it depicts

We are going to need widespread protesting on this, to a level never seen before in the UK.

Remember: 1. Global crop failures by 2°C. 2. Most humans dead by 4°C. 3. Earth uninhabitable by 6°C. 4. We risk 2°C by 2035. 5. We risk 4°C by 2065. 6. We risk 6°C by 2095. One tweet is worth a million newspaper front pages.

The theft. The corruption. Fathomless.
