william
i take it that is your name its richard wiltshire from the cleanitup forum i feel quite angered by your reaction to my post yesterday and slightly embarrased at how you have tried to belittle me and make me look like some snidey tax dodging scumbag i tried to defend myself a number of time yet you came back and back again insinuating a lot of things. i held my hands up and said due to a number of reasons i had yet to inform inland revenue, the unfortunate events in my life have made it rather difficult these last 6 months and caused a form of depression where iv found it difficult to get out of bed each day let alone run a business and set it up fully yet im still willing to battle on and pick up the pieces i admittedly said i have carried on cleaning the small number of clients that i have around 30 with 99% on 8 weekly to keep them on my books now you do the figures and you may understand iv not earnt a great deal at all hardly worth paying tax on. im just a bit bewildred at the way you reacted towards me could you not see that i was seeking advice that i was making the next step to becoming legit.
i await your resonse
thanks richard
I have received this response from Richard to my email.
Yes my name is William and if you look on my profile or webpage you will find that I do not hide behind a mobile phone number instead all of my details are on display.
You feel that I have belittled you, well I am sorry if you think that, because that was not my intention.
Yes I can understand someone making mistakes after all we are all human, but your efforts in not trading legally are very well planned.
You seem to blame everything around that has gone wrong as an excuse for not trading legally, yet we all have had these and even worst problems to overcome and we comply with the law of the land.
You say that you are depressed and bedridden, yet you can find time to promote your business on this forum almost every day for the last 40 weeks ( I wish I was that depressed).
Even if you have a small turnover and no profits that are taxable, you still have not paid your class 2 national insurance, which is a requirement.
You also say that the amount that you have earned in the last 40 weeks is so small as to make it un-worthwhile to pay tax on, yet after just 1 month of trading you had £700 worth of cheques go thought the washing machine, if earning £700 in your 1st month of trading is small peanuts, I wonder what you ideal turnover would be?
You defend yourself by saying you are not a benefit cheat, but what is the difference between a benefit cheat and a tax dodger? None, they are both criminals.
I have no problem with people making mistakes, but when they complain about the local cleaners’ under-cutting their prices because they are working, while claiming benefits, is a bit rich when they are also fiddling the system
