One has to laugh at a company looking for an experience infrastructure PM. Prince qualified with extensive EPOS and Cisco experience. Central London . . . . £30k Should *just* pay the Apartment rental and parking then. Obviously one has to be something of a philanthropist. In Silicon yesterday they were touting the story of the IT skills shortage. 140000 Techs needed. They forgot to insert "prepared to work for f.ck all" or "prepared to contribute own cash to employer for honour of employment"  SignatureHog '03 ST4S '96 Bastard12 '89 R100RS '81 XS650 '78 RD400 > One has to laugh at a company looking for an experience infrastructure PM. > Prince qualified with extensive EPOS and Cisco experience.

They have a sister company who issues him "loans" for the same amount that we pay the first company (less a "handling charge". These "loans" are then cancelled every 3 months. As far as I know, he pays no tax whatsoever. -- d. >>> I certainly wouldn't. But then, if I were going to do just PMing, >>> I'd do it contracting, not permie.

There are no capital gains taxes for individuals. The IoM does not operate IR35, or any equivalent scheme.

I really, really wish they'd scrap CGT here. It's far & away the most complex part of our software, & I'm sick to death of having to spend months re-coding it every time they change the bloody rules. I dread to think how much it costs software houses to keep up with the latest legislative tinkering.

I do my own lettings accounts which takes me a fair amount of time, even though every receipt for renewals/ repairs is logged when the expenditure occurs. I understand how the tax works on this and is quite straightforward. Every year I get the accountant to calculate the Capital Gains tax I pay on sold properties and every time he and I get wildly differing results (thankfully his are always lower - by over 3k this year). There is always an allowance I did not know about or some arcane rule. The changes due next year look interesting however once the treasury get wind of how much will be lost to them (mostly from private landlords) they will change their minds, probably at the very last minute. You only have to look at the recent fuckup of (residential) property in pensions. I suspect again it will be a huge waste of money and time. > I really, really wish they'd scrap CGT here.

I feel exactly the same way about daylight saving, even though I don't have to do that sort of thing anymore, which is nice. > I really, really wish they'd scrap CGT here.

Less than it costs the customers to buy the upgrades, IWHT. >One has to laugh at a company looking for an experience infrastructure PM. >Prince qualified with extensive EPOS and Cisco experience.

Most contractors I know are now permies due to changes in IR35 which explains a contractor skill shortage. I've seen city jobs for CCIEs at 45k, not bad for about 6 years of slogging through Cisco exams.
