On my HMRC Online agent account all PAYE clients are marked as 'prior year not filed' even though most have been filed already (via HMRC Basic PAYE Tools). Does anyone else have this issue?
A further question - on the 'Arctic Systems exception' would it make any difference whether shares were subscribed at par on incorporation or whether they were gifted (husband and wife situation) after incorporation?
People work through companies (amongst other reasons) in order to dodge NI, not tax. You have to pay higher rate tax on the dividends anyway so you don't save much on that front, unless you retain profits for years when you are not working or extract them as a capital gain when you finally close the company.
You are forgetting that lots of contractors have issued shares to spouses etc, so also lots of tax dodged here across the contractor industry....
