    No tax professional is going to give advice on a public forum in their professional capacity. All you will get is opinion where there will probably be conflict in that opinion as well. 

    If you want a professional answer then you need to source and pay for it

  • It's the info I have an issue with, not the company.  In a more recent video he is saying among other things that a tax rebate for those on the Construction Industry Scheme is new income and will effect a Universal Credit pay out.  But, let him do your self assesment and he will schedule the payment to arrive after a payment from Universal Credit, making it Capital.  I can't see that personally.

    I have filed my tax return so do not personally require the advice.  I seek clarification so I can inform othes to help them make an informed choice.

    A warm welcome to the MSE forum

    You will discover there are a lot of inaccuracies posted on the web. If you hope to research each and every claim, and highlight where you believe an inaccuracy exists, then I fear you won't have much time left to post much on this site.

    But nice to have met you.
