@ ogdenz - 1.07.19 - 12:38pm Why can't they afford 3 pounds a week? I don't understand how someone on 168 pounds a week (full state pension) can't afford it but someone on 59 pounds a week is expected to be able to pay it. Pensioners have it easy compared to everyone else on benefits |

And so they should, they've likely paid more in and never claimed any benefits when they were younger...

@ bozzalad - 1.07.19 - 04:09pm plus a pension is not a benefit It clearly is a benefit by definition. People have paid in to be able to claim other benefits, like jobseekers allowance or disability. All benefits pal. |

BBC will use 12million of licence fee cash to pay highest-earning stars' unpaid tax bills The corporation's annual report revealed the sum had been taken out of the licence fee to pay much of the money the presenters owe the taxman to draw a line under a long battle with HM Revenue Customs. The amount is controversial at a time when the BBC is stripping free TV licences from 3.75 million people over 75. The 12 million would pay 77,000 licence fees, at 154.50 each. Hundreds of BBC presenters owe the taxman large sums because the broadcaster pressured them to set up personal services companies (PSCs) so they could be treated as freelancers. The arrangement enabled the BBC to save millions in National Insurance contributions, as well as the cost of sick pay, holidays, pension contributions and other staff entitlements. Presenters paid directly by the broadcaster have to pay income tax at a rate of up to 45 per cent, whereas PSCs have to pay corporation tax at only 19 per cent. But it left many workers facing demands for unpaid tax, after HMRC ruled they should never have classified themselves as self-employed. The broadcaster spent years denying responsibility for the debacle, and only recently apologised to its workers for pushing them into the PSCs. Glyn Isherwood, chief financial officer at the BBC, said: 'We continue to work to resolve historic tax issues faced by our on-air presenters related to their employment classification. |

Multi-million pound tax-dodging, too. The sick corporation just can't get rid of their ills. Six years licence-free. |
