Fair enough but many see it as Tax avoidance, including some Tax Accountants.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

I am sure they do, probably because it's so difficult to prove and not the sort of thing that HMRC go after as a matter of course. Let's face it the self-employed have an awful lot of, shall we say, "scope" to minimise their tax bills. I believe many think that it's a justifiable "perk" because they don't get holiday or sick pay and have no security of employment.No-one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions.

An interesting comment.
Does anyone know of any analysis as to why people retire without a pension or fail to invest enough in one?Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.0 -
