    I know consultants who can demand £1.5k a day etc. The smart ones quit day rate long ago & work on a fixed fee basis now, far more lucrative.
  • let me guess, your boss is a mr burns and you work in springfield.

    Because my own Company invoices the Company I work for I only pay Corporation Tax at 20%, while I get paid just at the lower Tax level - so does the wife.

    There are great benefits being a low paid worker (even if the Company I own is receiving £1,500 a day) .. the shareholders then get an annual payout.

    My Accountant knows the details - all I know is that I don't pay much tax ..... which, looking at the PAYE staff paying more tax for much less income is a tad embarrassing, well, for a second or two anyway.

    aren't you the one that used to go around pretending that you have never worked but had saved up £200k through receiving benefits payments, just to annoy people?

    It is better to have lower salary than no salary.

    If I face this situation, I'd happily take a cut and then I'll look for a better job.
    Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.

    That's true - unless there is a fat redundancy payment and you are ready to call it a day.

    12 years ago our Company was cutting the workforce - they attracted more than enough volunteers.

    Everyone left with a £30,000 Lump Sum (the max allowed Tax free) and an annual compensation payment of £35,000 a year (for sitting at home) - until retirement, when their 'enhanced' Pension of 2/3rds final salary was paid out.

    I kick myself for being too old at the time (61) to benefit from it, having collected my pension and still working.
