Per Diem Rates

[Guest Matt Armstrong's Dog]

Does anyone on here know about per diem rates?

What it is, is that my brother who works in Angola has applied for a new job and he has been asked what per diem rate would he desire for the job on offer by the recruitment agency on behalf of their client?

It is a mechanical supervisory position that he's applied for (currently he is working as a SCM technician and has primarily done so for, on and off, over 8 years)?

He wishes to determine what per diem rate he should put forward. His interview is this afternoon.

I note the current USD per diem rate is USD925 and the exchange rate for GBP to USD is currently £1 = USD1.28. (Approx. £722 per day).

There will probably be a standard rate anyway so wouldn’t worry about it.

He's quite happy at the current per diem rate as it stands inoo as it is better than the day rate is currently on.

However, ideally, if possible, he would ask the potential recruiter for more (£750+ per day), as the job entails more responsibilty (site inspection) than his current role.

He was well and truly shafted with that before when working as a subcontractor in Angola when deploying the services of an accountancy and tax specialist. He was paying a decent level of taxation in relation to services and labour rendered.

His accountant at that time, Carnegie Knox (based in the IoM) told him exactly what he had to pay in terms of income tax, NICs, VAT, and Corporation Tax and my brother duly complied with what they and their affiliate (PTS Tax (purportedly a tax specialist) also based in the IoM) advised and, in turn, paid HMRC accordingly.

However, when trying to strike off his business with Companies House in 2020, all was not as it seemed in relation to the advice provided by CK and PTS. A hefty VAT return notice soon arrived from HMRC after he had submitted an application to Companies House to strike off his company, along with further payment demands by HMRC.

Unfortunately, this matter is still open, although CK and PTS are afforded impunity by HMRC for providing my brother with false, reckless, and misleading information and he has been, and is still being, penalised for their criminal activities (i.e. fraud.) by HMRC. I've phoned and spoken to CK and PTS on several occasions on behalf of my brother but they accept no responsibility. Fucking rats. HMRC are equally complicit by allowing these firms to do what they do.

Thankfully my brother now deals with an accountancy firm in Stirling who have been excellent to deal with.

If you happen to read this Michael Callow (retired, former accountant of CK), lest we forget. I know where you stay.

Your brother forgot to pay VAT and they were dealing with payroll taxes would be my guess.

Carnegie Knox dealt with all of his taxation matters in terms of when any of the forms of tax (IT, NICs, VAT, and Corporation Tax) and advise my brother accordingly when each were due for payment min.

Their accountancy levels are as basic as a primary one child just starting out at school and not fit for purpose, not that they are giving two fucks though as long as they received their fees from my brother, that's all that mattered to them.

I've asked them, as well as my brother, on numerous occasions to provide formulated breakdowns in how they arrive at their figures (as well as the HMRC directly), but when we eventually receive the requested information, it could have been written on the back of a postage stamp for all the details that have been provided.

Lots of subcontractors have been shafted by these bastards, as per my own research.

Bloody accountants, glad I’m not one………oh wait. 
 

It does sound like his previous advisors have had a mare, but the small print on their contract will no doubt indemnify them. Hopefully your brother gets it sorted with the new accountancy firm. He may have overpaid some taxes, but underpaid others which could be clawed back.

The previous advisors were crooks min, pure and simple. They knew exactly what they were doing, knowing they will not be touched, never mind pursued, by HMRC for fraudulent misrepresentation.

There is a distinct possibility that he may have overpaid some form of taxation and underpaid another, but this should have been identified and acted upon accordingly before it got to its current stage by CK and PTS Tax.

It's been well over 3 years this case has been ongoing. I suspect it is due to a culmination of his current accountant's excellent knowledge and skillset of all things accounting and this particular type of case, and, perhaps, myself knowing the law pertaining to the understating and overstating of accounts, as well as fraud. 

The intimidation tactics of HMRC that they were using in the initial months of pursual have subsided to literally to a standstill.
