£38K is the current UK average wage, are business owners working for less??

The French business system is set up so that it unintentionally discourages people from turning over more than 34k euros a year.

After this figure has been breached, vat, accountants and a whole raft of other issues faces the small business man.

Most in our line of work declare just under 34k and take cash wherever possible.

Some, afraid of taking such a 'risque' prefer to close their doors taking long breaks to avoid having to make too much money and instead resign themselves to a life scuffing along on the breadline and near poverty.

34k turnover, leaves you with 25'500 after social charges.

25'500euros with which to run a truck, chipper and pay a wage?

The French state shoots itself in the foot by micromanaging business here.

as a small business owner why the hell do you want a salary more than your tax code. You just end up giving it up in tax. Let your accountant earn their fee and sort it.

 

 

 

More than your tax code?

 

 

I think he means a salary that is higher (more) than your tax code tax free allowance.

Ah right, that's mad, in the South East the tax free allowance would barely cover a mortgage. If you think like this an employed position is probably best for everyone!

I think he mean you take under your tax code as salary and the rest of your income as a dividend, this what I do, as I run a limited Co.

Get taxed on dividends now as well. 😡After the first £5000.

Still less % than income tax though.
