the plumbers tax safe plan

[erj]

I see the Gov has set up a amnesty, so we can declear the money we have hidden away.
Great that is all we need the tax man after money we do not have ( well I dont have any any way)
Why have they picked on us have they been reading the press too much. PLUMBERS MAKE £100,000 A YEAR!.

 

[noleaksihope]

I peronally think this is some form of prejudice against plumbers, this form would be better served on politicians, footballers and bankers but to name three, but to have a go a decent hard working plumbers is a joke, i have printed the form it would be better published in a comic!!!

it is a joke. wasnt it recently published wayne rooney pays around 3-4% tax on total earnings using blatant tax avoidance tactics( so much paid as image rights blah blah) , yet the tax man comes after plumbers earning less in a year than he does in a day.

i paid enough tax last year to keep some layabout family going in housing benefit and other handouts, feels good doing your bit for the country

Now theres a concept "decent hardworking plumbers" but you know them , I know them the public know them they have unmarked cars or vans do cheap shody work for cash that we have to put right. That unfortunately is the view of plumbers watch any "cowboy" program on TV.
That is what the Taxman sees

we all know people that do "homers" and to be honest these people are just trying to get a bit of extra cash ontop of their crappy salarys they get working for a firm, why not make more of an effort to get the scroungers working so they can bring in tax!

 

[Toddyplumb]

That isnt always the case . Local "factory" shift guys on 38 + K yr loads do homers . Thats not a crappy salary, they even do their gas safe exams in their rest days !

Are there other pages on that site for builders, plasteres, electricians... I don't understand why it's just plumbers. I've never heard anyone say "is a cheque ok? oh what am i saying of course it's not you're a plumber..."

only 3 to 4 per cent tax on top of what he gets a week over £100000 now a week i think he gets.
but plumbers dont even make that in a year and they are chasing plumbers??? It is strange why the dont chase the ones who avoid paying all sorts of tax like vodafone etc etc etc mp's etc.
makes you feel sick

why are they chasing plumbers? do they believe the stuff you read in the papers £50000 in first year stuff

there is no point we are merely the little people to them.. the ones in power have got the power and the ones who are hard working and pay tax to keep the ones in power in power are nothing to them.
The next time you do a tax return or check your end of year tax bill if books in take great pleasure in knowing its paying for some rich mps new bathroom in there second home or paying some mp to watch **** in a hotel that you re paying for like the mp who actually charged on his expenses to hire a **** movie in a hotel...

There is only now one thing left to do and thats get away from this country all together because trust me it is only going to get worse....

diesel nearly £1.40 a litre blame the uprising in egypt? no take a closer look at how much of the £1.40 is actually tax

 

[Dannypipe]

Diesel today at the pump was £1.45 a litre. It'll be two quid a litre before long.

A mate of mine is running his car on vegetable oil. Crazy fool. It does smell nice though!! LOL.

how do you go about this I know it wont be possible to do with a diesel van but say you got a petrol van how much does it cost to convert to use vegetable oil

 

[plumbster3456]

£1.45 a litre it gets better... we will only keep getting the p taken from us because in this country people just accept it without serious question...
how long would an american government last if they charged even half of what we get charged in tax on a litre of diesel? not very long this is th difference

Don't do this with a petrol car. You can only do it with a diesel car/van. Seriously.

Anyway, I had a good chat with him about it as I was amazed.

It transpires that there are even websites out there where you can look your vehicle up and see if it will run on veg oil. You don't need to do anything to a lot of vehicles.

In a nut shell this is what he told me.

You are allowed by law to use a certain amount of duty free fuel (something like 2000 litres) so its not illegal unless you do loads of it.
The car runs a bit 'chockey' for the first couple of minutes until it has warmed up. After a few miles he said you couldn't notice any difference.
You should avoid using it if your vehicle is a turbo diesel.
As it is more viscous your fuel pump will need to be a decent one to deal with the thicker fuel.
You can thin the mixture with white spirit, or just use a 50/50 mix of conventional fuel and sunflower oil.
It helps to warm your glow plugs twice before cold start up.

Anyway, my mate is driving a 05 plate Ford Mondeo. He's running it on pure sunflower oil. He bought in bulk when it was on special at tescos for 40p a litre.

He's not the type to BS, very honest guy, I did laugh me backside off when he told me. It honestly smells like a chip shop!

Finally I'll add that I won't be running my van on veg oil. Just sticking the fuel receipts into my accountant as per usual.

 

[Toddyplumb]

Had a letter from our accountants Friday . There coming...........
Good job we have investigation insurance

 

[unguided1]

Woo hoo I cant wait for the tax man to investigate me, every year they give me a lurverly tax rebate and now I know that when I am investigated they will go through my books like a fine tooth combe,
I will get me tesco carrier bags out with me books in ready in anticipation. This means that they can sort out me paperwork I wont get charged and I bet I will get more rebates, well chuffed.

To be honest I believe that the truth of the matter is that the Tax office is under so much pressure to collect taxes and so underfunded and understaffed this must be a government ploy to see how gullible we all are, So I will not be declaring my 5 bank accounts in switzerland (same banks used by top politicians and royalty) or the island I own in the carribean, which I let politicians use. May be they should look at the big corporations, Banks and politicians, and also companies that claim to be non profit making, and charities I mean they have got to be tax dodgers
