Most perms in IT probably paid more than that in income tax too!

Good to see the government make sure their suppliers are all good UK (corporate) tax paying citizens before they purchase their services.

Oops! Surely this is just a one off....er....anybody want to back that horse? No, thought not.

Still, I'm sure the inevertable tax rises in the next budget are because we've all shared the pain and they really have left no stone unturned in their persuit of finding every penny they can save or raise through existing taxation so the a little extra from you and me is a really a last resort to be able balance the books. Mmmm.....look over there at that big company that pays less tax than a middle earner.....hear those bells ringing to tell you something.....
