Employment Tax Expert

Yes that’s right – in this era of doom and gloom both employers and employees can save a lot of money and not be tied to ever increasing car benefit and car fuel benefit charges simply by looking at how they provide cars to their employees. Don’t get confused with ever increasing taxation on these benefits, in the name of “going green/saving the planet, enviromentally friendly” it’s all crap – we’ve a national debt to feed and it’s got a monstrous appetite – remember this when it comes to the Pre Budget report.

So remove yourselves from this farce, it’s a fantastic idea, tailored specifically to your company and with HMRC approval, employees love it and even better you as the employer keep control and meet your duty of care and corporate manslaughter responsibilities.

Not come across it before? Thought about it some years ago but were a bit afraid of it – well those employers that weren’t have saved £millions – now don’t tell me that you wouldn’t be interested in that. So if you have a company car fleet or are even running a cash for car scheme and want to join the band of smiling employers and employees and find out more about employee car ownership schemes then call us on 0800 917 9176

So here we go, the start of how do we claw back the national debt, well what a way to start – removing tax relief from childcare voucher schemes – what message is that sending everyone!

and now we have the “if it’s not bolted down, let’s sell it approach” bearing in mind raising the retirement age and freezing civil service pay is only going to raise £4billion out of a total disputed debt of between £100b to £140billion – now call me slightly old fashioned but why the hell are we nit picking – where the hell are we going to get hold of £100 billion – well one place we’re not is from MP’s expenses. So we’ve had the compliance review and they are being made to pay back public money that they shouldn’t have had – or are they? Not these leaches – oh no let’s be angry because perish the thought we are just being picked on. What does it tell you when the unelected prime minister is paying back over £12,000 – that’s someone’s annual salary!

So just watch this space as more and more things are taxed, put into foreign ownership (don’t even talk about security issues attached to these) – where will the remaining debt payoff come from………………? well there’s an election next year – oh yes an election involving the self centred parasites mmmmmmmmm!!!

Pensions are just one item that can be subject to a salary sacrifice arrangement but it can yield SIGNIFICANT savings for both the employer AND the employee. When times are difficult these sort of arrangements can benefit everyone and the savings that are made can be split any number of ways and part can even be used to offset the cost of setting up the arrangements.

These type of schemes HAVE to be set up correctly from both a tax and NIC perspective, as well as taking into account the impact on benefit entitlement but by using an employment tax expert you are on your way to potentially making everyone happy and you can’t say that about many things in this day and age.
