Self-employed & Coronavirus

If your missus thinks contractors only pay 10% tax on their earnings, she needs to do more CPD.

No sorry, I am wrong there, she’s just said.

They use dividends to get it down but the difference is still
Significant.
 
Ah, you didn’t say that before. Between you, can you please post an explanation of how it works?

I might as well log her in mate.

I’ve got it slightly wrong but the difference is huge between inside and outside.

The 10% is only on a particular part.
 
Contractors working outside IR35 do pay less tax and NI than those working inside IR35 but it's still way more than 10%. Dividends are paid out of post tax profits and those profits are taxed at 19% to begin with.

Yeah you’re right.

Good job I’m not in charge of our contractors accounts :-)
 
No need, mate. I knew it was wrong all along. :)

I’m don’t a qualification on managing people at the moment and because it’s an official course I need to have GCSE maths, as I obviously don’t il redoing it. To say it’s hard for me is an understatement.
 
Okay, think we're all at cross purposes, at least I am! Where did the 10% tax claim come from? If inside IR35 the tax is PAYE, although there are different ways to work the contract. I completely avoid IR35, lucky my work is very niche and easy to make it project based.

Edit: Just seen your earlier post, it's a bloody minefield that's for sure!

Yeah I’ve got it wrong, happy to admit it.

The 10% does come in somewhere but I’ve got it wrong as a flat rate on day rate.

I’ve just asked the Mrs who’s an accountant.
