    I've been filling in Self Assessment for about 10 years now & always have a vague idea of how much it'll be anyway. I don't get how people can be charged £500 or more and not know it's the wrong amount?

    If you are self-employed (nearly 15% of UK individual tax payers are) then your income varies year by year.
    So the tax you pay also varies substantially depending on the income you generated

    you are totally bonkers. :rotfl:

    1. ASA have ruled that some companies are misleading in their adverts.
    2. Some companies have complied immediately (99% according to ASA spokesperson). Therefore they have made themselves legal.
    3. Some companies have not complied. Therefore they are still operating illegally.

    It remains to be seen what steps ASA will take against these companies that have not complied.

    I have no idea what this nonsense post means.

    ....................and............Pollycat says


    :rotfl:



    So the million dollar equation is ...............

    Matt Wilson statement = Pollycat inference = Makes "some" of "them", i.e copycat website companies "LEGAL"

    I have 'inferred' nothing.

    As a result of OFT and/or ASA involvement, 99% (according to ASA spokesperson but Hpuse may want to dispute this) of websites that were not operating illegally have complied.
    I take this to mean that their websites are now not misleading and therefore are legal.

    Hpuse, I'm not sure what the relevance of bolding 'advertisers' and 'companies' means.
    Probably neither do you.
    However, the ASA spokesperson mentions 'advertisers', 'companies' and 'websites'.

    Matt Wilson of the Advertising Standards Authority is angry that Paylondoncongestion is defying its ruling – but has so far done nothing about it. ‘In 99 per cent of cases, advertisers comply immediately.
    But in this instance, Paylondoncongestion has not. We are disappointed. The website still does not make it clear that it is unofficial,’ he says.
    He adds that if the company does not fall into line, the ASA has other measures it can take. These include ‘naming and shaming’ it on the authority’s website, paying for its own adverts to appear in internet searches alongside those of the rogue website to warn potential users away, and liaising with search engines such as Google to get the website address removed.

    @Pollycat,

    Please don't stop posting....your grasp of the situation is highly entertaining !!!

    @Hpuse

    Who said I was going to stop posting? :rotfl:

    Your inability to express yourself in a way that other people can understand coupled with your inability to understand logical reasoning is highly entertaining !!!

    And, as you well know from other threads, I'm not the only one with that opinion. ;)

    Yeah but it's still not that difficult to work out.

    Or you could look up a calculator online. I've not used it but found this one with ease. http://www.which.co.uk/money/tax/guides/which-tax-calculator/

    The level of income going up or down makes no difference to the ease of working out the tax.
    It's someone else's fault.

    You are very entertaining, hpuse. Utterly bonkers and with no grasp of reality, but entertaining nonetheless. :)

    It means to me:

    That is a direct extract from the article.

    I cannot comment on the part in bold because it doesn't make any sense at all to me.

    but that is no surprise to me because you wrote it.

    I have no idea what point you are trying to make, Hpuse.

    For those self employed , income someone generate can cross over financial years. For e.g you quote a work in Feb, you raise an invoice in March and got partial payment and had to re work in april and re-work in May (incurring additional costs) and get paid in the end in June.
    So as you say, it is not really 'ease' working out the tax you owe, it varies year by year ..And FYI, that's what accountants do !
