Surely paying tax is of benefit to the country

Thu, 23 Apr 2009 14:39:19 +0000

Did you know that it is against the American constitution for the Federal government to levy income tax? The founding fathers knew the possibilities of abuse afforded by such powerful tools. Of the income tax levied in the US, the expenditure is approximately as follows: One third is used to pay for the standing armies which protect ‘American interests’ abroad;

A similar amount is spent on the healthcare system, (which although may appear at first glance to be for the common good, is mainly being siphoned off to pharmaceutical interests);

Whilst the remainder is given to the owners of private banks who ‘create’ the dollars used as a national currency, in payment of interest deemed to have accrued upon money taken out on ‘loans’.

The situation is hardly any different in the United Kingdom, and represents neither a beneficial use of money nor an efficient one. If as we do, you sincerely wish to improve the world, we wholeheartedly support the principle of tything, whereby you spend the money yourself on worthy causes with the intention of assisting your fellow man.

Why isn’t everyone doing this?

It is only recently that an offering which takes advantage of the opportunities afforded by off shore tax schemes, has been developed and offered to the lower salaried contractor. Until recently these arrangements have been the privilege of the super rich, but now through the application of the same laws, efficiently processed and then offered to a more mainstream audience, it is possible for you to similarly benefit.

How will I get paid when using EBT

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 14:26:09 +0000

Our solution is registered with HMRC in the UK in respect of PAYE. You will be paid for the hours worked on contracts in which you are placed, usually at 15% of gross contract value or £5.60 per hour, whichever is the greater. This pay is then subject to PAYE and NICS.

The full contract value will become the turnover of our consultancy supply operation, and as such the revenues obtained are available to the Company for settlement into the Employee Benefit Trust.

When you are accept employment with our recommended Employee Benefit Trust, you will by virtue of that employment become entitled to benefit in turn (at the Trustees discretion) as a beneficiary of the Employee Benefit Trust.

The Trustees of the Employee Benefit Trust are then empowered to make loans to its Employees; such loans are assessed by HMRC as benefits in kind at a rate of 6.25%, this value is then in turn assessed at 22% or 40% (this gives and effective tax rate on the loan amount paid out of between 1.3% and 2.2%).

The loans paid by the Employee Benefit Trust are the mechanism that provide for your enhanced net income retention.

Salary is calculated, and loans are made on a monthly basis, therefore effectively the Employee Benefit Trust only has access to funds equal to one month salary at any one time. The delay between invoice and payment is minimal compared to an Umbrella Company solution.

Questions about Employee Benefit Trusts

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 14:56:54 +0000

What if I wish to use my current Ltd or Umbrella Company?

Taking advantage of an EBT requires that you are paid outside of any existing Umbrella company arrangement. As a director of a UK Ltd company we can also accommodate your payroll requirements. You then receive an additional benefit of avoiding the costly process of compiling every single expense in order to reduce profit, and also decreasing the tax burden incurred through using dividend payments to obtain the profits created.

Is this Payroll Solution IR 35 compliant?

IR 35 legislation does not cover the use of an EBT payroll arrangement – this means that there is no obligation upon you to fall within the scope of IR35 regulations.

What happens at the end of my contract?

You remain an employee as far as the benefit trust is concerned, however you will cease to be eligible for any loan payments until you commence working once again.

For how long will I be able to use this EBT?

A change in tax legislation to prohibit the use of an EBT arrangement cannot be ruled out in future.
Because of the nature of off shore tax legislation this would be a long drawn out procedure which would take many years to accomplish. There is also the consideration that the prime beneficiaries of current off shore tax legislation (the rich and ‘connected’) are the same people who would have to sponsor its removal.

Is there any rush to sign up for this EBT?

No, and we fully recommend you to carry out your own due diligence and satisfy yourself of the wisdom of using our Employee Benefit Trust. However the longer you postpone the decision, the longer you will be wasting 20% of your contracted income, which is lost before you have even received it. It is much more fun in our experience to waste money on driving fast cars or taking unnecessary luxury holidays.

How do I sign up?

The sign up process is simple and quick. Simply fill in our on-line form and you will be guided through the requisite paperwork by one of our consultants, who will call back at a time requested and convenient for you. The call should last around 15 minutes, by which time you will have all the information you should require to reach a decision. If you wish to take longer over this important decision that is of course your prerogative, it is however an easy decision to reach and a process which is low o

What would you do with a 30% pay increase?

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 14:20:44 +0000

Do you wish to take advantage of the fall in property prices to upgrade your accommodation? Would you instead choose to:

Work fewer hours, perhaps taking that long planned around the world trip without sacrificing any of your hard earned luxuries?
Buy a share in a light aircraft and spend your free time souring free above the clouds?
Join a fractional ownership scheme for a yacht?
Pay off outstanding loans?

These are not mere idle day dreams. You really will have to decide what to do with your pay increase. Because it is guaranteed, you will know in advance exactly how much extra your take home pay will be each and every month, and can start thinking about what to do with it right now.

An Umbrella company offering;

An investment scheme. The value of an investment can go up as well as down. Instead YOU simply keep more of YOUR own money.An Employee Benefit Trust is:

A 100% legal way to keep hold of your hard earned money (up to 30% extra every month) and in this economic climate, that will make a massive difference to your comfort and security.

5 Benefits of an EBT Payroll Solution

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 14:10:49 +0000

You keep 85% of your contract value

It is hard to talk about this benefit – simply because it is so clearly obvious why this is important! The take home net pay resulting from using an EBT is around an additional 20% for most contractors, which is the same as working for 5 days and being paid for 6, or to put it another way you could instead work for 40 weeks a year in place of 48. Where would you go with all that free time?

There are no expense claims to keep track of

Which contractor does not find expense claims to be a right royal pain? How much would you like to know that you would never need to waste time and energy dealing with this unwanted and un productive administrative overhead?

IR 35 does not figure in the picture

Rather than have to qualify as a contractor through avoidance of falling within the IR35 legislation, which is designed to ensure that contracting does not yield appreciably more take home pay than PAYE, you can also fall outside of all of this legislation and therefore not worry about ever being re-classified and hit with an unexpected tax bill.

You qualify for a referral commission, simply by being paid via an EBT

Because it pays not to advertise EBT schemes, but because like all good businesses we wish to grow, being paid via the EBT qualifies you for a referral commission of 1% of all income paid out to your referee. Put another way, if you are the first in your team to catch on and can spread the benefits to 5 other people, there is an additional 5% pay rise on top of the 20% you have already netted by changing across your own payroll. In today’s economic climate, not many people are going to be the beneficiaries of such a big jump in pay without having first invested heavily in gold.

There are no set up fees

Unlike previous high yield schemes, there are no complicated tax efficient vehicles to set up, no up-front costs, you only pay fees upon any pay which you receive (deducted before your 85% net pay out)
