Paxman

Jeremy Paxman, a public school man and loud mouth works a flanker to cut his tax bill and short changes his servants as well as bullying them. John Birt ran the Beeb while he worked the tax angle. Given that they work for a bunch of Marxists it is hypocrisy in action.

Paxman Beats Tax Man And Cheated His Servants [ 17 October 2009 ]
QUOTE
Many of the BBC's best-paid presenters are classing themselves as freelancers to avoid tens of thousands of pounds in tax. Big-name stars such as Jeremy Paxman, Fiona Bruce and Emily Maitlis have set up companies to channel their earnings, which will save them from having to pay the new 50 per cent income tax rate on salaries over £150,000. The BBC is accused of encouraging the arrangement, which saves it millions of pounds a year in employer's national insurance payments, levied at 12.8 per cent of any salary.........

Service companies pay a corporation tax of as little as 21 per cent on their profits, which can then be paid to the presenter as a dividend  -  again taxed at a lower rate. Presenters using a service company can also defer tax and make use of large expenses allowances.

He is a loud mouthed bully which is not a bad thing when he is dealing with corrupt politicians but bullying his servants shows the real nastiness in him. Paying starvation wages when he is making better than £1 million and making moves to pay less tax fails to amuse.

 

Paxman Complains About BBC Fat Cats [ 18 April 2014 ]
Is a rat deserting a sinking ship? Paxman complains about the greed of the fat cats but gets evasive when questioned about his multimegabuck remuneration package by Boris Johnson. Then there are his ingenious arrangements to avoid paying tax. Of course Paxman is never going to complain about BBC racism because it is anti-English Racism.

Snouts in the trough, as usual.

 

And now your starter for ten: Just how many Romanians are living over Paxman's garage?
QUOTE
has often grilled politicians and captains of industry about workers' rights and immigration. Today, however, Newsnight's inquisitor-in-chief faces some awkward questions himself about his own employment practices. It emerged yesterday that the millionaire presenter took on two live-in Romanian servants and gave them rooms above the garage at his luxurious Oxfordshire farmhouse.......... And he found them not through an employment agency, but by placing a free advert on a Romanian website. Former housekeeper Daniela Savin and her fiance Robert Laslau claimed Paxman and his TV producer partner Elizabeth Clough paid them only £5 an hour - 25p less than the minimum wage - for their 40-hour week.

Legally, Paxman has done nothing wrong. The £5.25-an-hour minimum wage is applicable only for staff who are not live-in employees.

But Miss Savin, 24, said: "Jeremy paid us the bare minimum that he needed to. We didn't have a contract, or any holiday agreed. There was nothing like that, it was just a spoken arrangement."

The mother of Paxman's bastards is in television too so they could treat their four and half servants decently. They don't, which is why the Romanians babbled.

 

How BBC allows its big-earning stars to set up companies to escape high tax bills

Big-earning BBC stars set up companies to escape high tax bills
A host of the BBC's highest-paid presenters are classing themselves as freelancers to avoid paying the new 50per cent tax levy on the rich. Household names like Jeremy Paxman, Fiona Bruce and Emily Maitlis have set up companies which they use to channel their earnings through. By switching their staff jobs to freelance contracts, the presenters are able to lower their tax bills significantly.

The rouse [ sic - try ruse ] means they will avoid paying the highest tax rate, which will increase from 40p to 50p in the pound for all earners on more than £150,000 per annum next April. Critics branded the move as 'unacceptable' and claimed the BBC was hiding the fact that the stars were actually full time members of staff rather than legitimate freelancers...........

The arrangement allows the corporation to avoid paying millions in National Insurance contributions which all employers are legally bound to do for members of staff. The presenters usually negotiate higher pay, as they have to forgo paid holidays and membership of the BBC’s generous pension scheme.

Any one who pays more tax than he has to is a victim. But it is the hypocrisy that annoys.

 

John Birt
QUOTE
Soon after Birt became director general [ of the BBC ] , his future was risked by revelations that he was selling himself to the BBC as a consultant, with Schedule D tax arrangements and an expense account which included secretarial payments to his wife and a large sum for suits. He survived, and joined the staff, where his salary rose to more than compensate. The scandal became known as Armanigate, since Birt is vain about his clothes: an acquaintance recalls once seeing Jane Birt in a beautiful dress and asking 'Is that Japanese too?' (Acknowledging that her husband was obviously wearing a suit by Issey Miyake.) 'No,' John Birt replied, indicating his own outfit, 'this is Japanese.

Paxman Sneers At French - Paxman Is An Insolent Rogue [ 9 April 2016 ]
Scruffy & senile too. It's about time he learned to shave.

He likes bullying his servants; being sincerely nasty is the style.
