Brian Little's Neat Tax Ruse

[paulcomben]

Sir Brian has been appointed Director Of Football at the Jersey FA. Less a proper job and more an ingenious way of paying a flat rate of 20% income tax?

Well, he said the job "appealed to him".

Viewers of Boardwalk Empire would council caution about moving in on Joisey. As would viewers of Bergerac.

Congrats Sir Brian!

Sorry but you're not allowed to speak about Him in any tones that may be considered disparaging in anyway. Good luck Oh Messiah.

Even though people like Bono piss me off with their tax avoidance, in this case the tax implications are neither here nor there to me. He was either head hunted or applied for the job. Given the number of people looking for work in his field, doubt he was the only candidate considered. Good luck to him.

Brian Little is the only man who could live on the mainland but walk to work in Jersey.

 I have a friend who lives in Jersey and affectionately describes it as 80,000 alcoholics clinging to a rock

That's a shame.  I was hoping to see him down our club again for another Q&A session. He was quite brilliant (of course) at the last one.

There are no tax implications.  It's a Jersey-based job with Jersey income tax deducted.  That may be less than the equivalent tax on a UK job, but it's enough to let the Jersey government spend what they need to run Jersey. Tax avoidance is about using offshore jurisdictions to avoid UK tax, which isn't the case here.

Brain Little doesn't need to avoid tax. Tax avoids Him.

Is the misspelling of his Christian name also intentional?
