  • How will this all end?

    Not a day passes without a mention of various loopholes that major UK companies are exploiting:

    Now that I have started to make arrangements of leaving this country in the autumn, I am more convinced than ever that I am making the right move - unless things dramatically change after the elections.

    The government goes on about how well the UK is doing and how unemployment is down! Really? Many people are now underemployed, working part-time because it suits Tesco, Starbucks and others...

    ...and failing to pay any NI contributions.

    Goodness knows how this is going to end.

    There would be a simple solution to this: employer NI contributions to be paid from the first penny. No more loopholes. Recruitment agencies required to run their own PAYE payroll, robust control of umbrella companies and corporate tax payable by all companies operating in the UK.

    Please do not go on about how Starbucks, Tesco, ASOS and others create jobs. Only those employers creating living wage jobs should be praised. Others should be boycotted!

    Not to mention zero hour contracts and places like poundworld being allowed to ‘employ’ people without having to pay them. Another thing that gets me angry is they tell us the NHS is overburdened. Then if an employer offers private health care it is seen as a taxable benefit and the employee winds up paying tax on the value of the policy i.e. paying paye on an amount of money he is not paid for a benefit he may not use. As a consequence most employees would rather have the value of the policy added to their salary. Result: overburdened NHS.

    An optimist is someone who falls off the Empire State Building, and after 50 floors says, 'So far so good'!
