yea right
what about all the contractors various government departments are still using thro limited companies , employers nic etc etc
Mapeley
The utter hypocrisy! Never mind the fact that a large number of MP's and Peers were fiddling their expenses, it is of course a fact that the HMRC landlords (Mapeley) are operating a massive tax avoidance scheme
Here's a House Of Commons Report into this.
http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200203/cmselect/cmtreasy/184/...
Read the following quote from this report. Amazing!
25. The Board of the Inland Revenue was not informed by the project team that, under the contract, the Revenue's properties would be transferred to a company registered in Bermuda. The Board appears to have discovered this fact a few days before the contract was due to be signed only because one of its members, knowing that arrangements of this sort were common, asked what the structure of the Mapeley companies was. The Customs and Excise Management Committee and the relevant Minister, the Paymaster General, were not told of the offshore structure of the contract before it was signed. We reject the proposition put forward by the Chairman of the Inland Revenue that at worst the charge against the project team is one of naivety, a view we believe is complacent. We view with great concern the fact that such failures in briefing senior management and the Minister have occurred. We expect the Departments to have identified exactly where and how things went so seriously wrong and to have taken the necessary steps to prevent a recurrence.
