Not sure it's 10%. I work in Holland and not getting that. I should add I get paid through payroll and it then goes on uk tax return as I'm uk tax resident so I pay tax as if employed in uk. Before anyone says, dodgy tax cheat!

Amsterdam by any chance? I moved here a few months ago, can't be too many of us in Holland

[Kevin Mcleod]

That your game is it mate?

Slinging the old bugle?!!

Yeah, just like after dinner speaking is Jims game.

[Tarbie]

And on the subject of pub talk (which i believe most of it was), if a geezer i knew came into the pub with a dopey sounding bird like that and said here mate this rich bint wants rakes of bugle for the asian firm, can you put her in touch with someone.
Then she started talking like that to me id be gone out the door before she could finish her first sentence.
Hes such a thick divv i swear,

One option could be is if he has a company set up in Hollabd to receive payments for his public speaking engagements which I imagine are few and far between and any other extra curricular work. Unsure how much tax companies pay in Holland but could be a way of working around it.

[Hertford Hoop]

Yeah true.

Bloody stupid to brag about tax evasion though isn't it? Particularly if you're not actually evading tax. And particularly if you are in the public eye!

Absolutely

Unbelievably stupid. Thought he was so much cleverer/cleaner.

[Tarbie]

The 'amount he claims' he will pay means nothing.
I tell people in my pub i pay two per cent tax. Dont mean i do. I actually dont have any idea what it is.

Yeah true.

Not sure Inland Revenue would agree with that!

Dividend is (was) personal tax free as the company has already paid tax on it.

What, you mean the 10% dividend credit?

What about the other £18k? A proportion of that is liable to tax after the personal allowance.

No way would you get £50k tax free in this country.

[Jeems]

Still have to pay tax on any income received over £11k.

Please tell me you aren't Jimmy's accountant...

[Shepherds Mush]

Roughly 8k annual salary
Dividend at 31,785 (company has already paid corporation tax)
Expenses 10k give or take

Still have to pay tax on any income received over £11k.

[LoftusRoadLad]

Not sure Inland Revenue would agree with that!

I paid a tax bill for 2878 pounds and 7pence a few years ago. They sent me 2 letters for the 7 pennys !!

[Tarbie]

Would have to pay himself under £5k a year in dividends for it to not be liable to UK income tax (after accounting for his other income).

I was thinking more drip feed it to himself back in the Netherlands after he retires, maybe make his wife a Director too etc.

Still seems pretty unlikely to be plausible.

[Tarbie]

Wow. Really going in some real depth over a throw away comment in a pub aint ya.
Just pay it to me in Holland, i pay less taxthere and it will be easier to keep it hidden.
The amount of tax he mentions means nothing really.

Not sure Inland Revenue would agree with that!
