Nothing but a Cunt

When did Sparky shit in your shoes?

A feeling he’ll make a return to Blackburn if Tomasson leaves in the summer.

He blackguarded Richard Dunne

That Maria McKee effort belongs in Greatest live performances - #163 by myboyblue

Mark hughes played for man united. MBB is obsessed with them. The end.

Hughes is a bit of an oddball though. My old housemate had dealings with him.

Munster beat Leinster in the RaboDirectMagner’sCelticURCPro semi-final.

Incorrect. He’s a cunt who shafted Richard Dunne for that useless cunt Lescott. Andrew Cole was a united player, as was Schmeichel. Both played for City and there was no issue. Hughes is and always was a cunt however.

If you’re earning about €150k or upwards in this country you’re paying about 55/6% in tax.
Are you also forking out PRSI/USC or those stealth penalties on top of that?
At that rate you’d only be getting a tad above €60k for your efforts which seems an utter cod.

This is a lad contracting and isn’t getting paid for holidays, bank holidays, no bonus etc.
Shur’ at that level of taxation and penalties you’d be better off as an employee somewhere on less.

It’s no wonder the exchequer is awash with money with those levels of punitive taxation.

Sure he’s probably running all his expenses through as well. New tractor. No tax.

SF will tell him he’s rich and needs to pay a little bit more.

If you’re contracting you can have your company paid instead of you. Which means that you’d pay corporation tax instead of PAYE. if this lad is contracting and paying PAYE then he’s doing it wrong.

Is that a cut & paste from the 80s Boxty?

Not really - the company pays him and then he pays PAYE.

55% is the marginal rate for self employed earning over €100,000.

At €150,000 he should be clearing about €90,000 or €7,500 per month.

Sinn Féin will consider him Uber wealthy but you take €2,500 out for a mortgage, €1,500 and €750 for a pension and you ain’t exactly living a champagne lifestyle.

How do you take money out of the company though? If you take a salary you’re taxed again after paying 25% already and dividends are taxes at capital gains.

I thought of that this morning. I’ll be seeing his father (a longtime pal) in the next few days and make this suggestion. I might just add that when he told me he was a contractor I asked him was he on many sites…The reply was he wasn’t, it’s all done from the small television he has in the black bag.

Oh that says I. Yeah says Scalder, he sits there fucking and blinding at it all day.
I wondered where that habit came from but wisely kept my council.

He has 3 lads who were all clever and did well for themselves but to hear him rant about them you’d get the impression they were delinquents.
