:tories: Tories in trouble?

There are a couple of points to note

First the information put in must be accurate

Second the assignment must reflect the information input through out the assignment. If it changes, the assignment must be reassessed

Assuming the above is true then the HMRC will respect the result

Assignment evolve over time and I reckon that where things start to fall over

Or they just decide not to take the results.

They have committed to abide by the results assuming that they agree that the info you provide is correct (read to their liking)

That literally means nothing then - which is probably why they lose so many cases.

Odds on Johnson swerving a fine??

I dunno. If you were married to Rishi Sunak, wouldn’t you prefer to live abroad?

The non dom thing is a strange rule

Anyone who benefits from it still pays UK tax on all UK derived income. They also pay tax in the countries where they also earn income.

In the absence of the non dom rule, they would still get credit against the UK tax bill for taxes that they have paid overseas (double taxation), so we still wouldn’t receive tax on their entire worldwide earnings

It is also a devilishly complicated aspect of tax law so I wonder if the non dom status was a quick and easy way of getting some revenue without tying up legions of HMRC inspectors arguing the toss with these people’s bean counters

As for Rishi’s dishy - she is an Indian citizen (not a a British one) so she probably has a more legitimate claim of non dom status than say Lord Ashcroft

It does look really shit though

Out of interest, how did you think anyone gets rich in this country in the first place?

I’m sure that’s what Mrs Sunak would claim.

good article that

With the IR35 changes in mind, it looks far worse still.

It’s more in relation to the IR35 debates had earlier in the thread tbh - I’m well aware of how these fuckers get rich.
