Fair play to Alex Tew - an alternative way to fund his university studies a simple idea that is bound to net him a million dollars.

Fair play to the lad.

why does every assume students dont pay tax?

you have to pay tax still, same as everyone else. the only thing u get is a cheap intrest rate on a loan

I've gotta take me hat off to the lad. Thats some genius thinking!

I think he might have a bright future ahead of him!

I don't

But then again I don't earn nearly enough to qualify for a tax bracket....

Neither do I!!!

And also why do most people think that students dont work whilst they're at Uni? Ive had a job interview yesterday and also got another one before the end of the month as i'm so skint!

I need a rich boyfriend/husband....

well if i earn around say £400 - £500 a month and still go uni, should i be paying tax?

Touch and go Steve. I think the single person's allowance is about £4,500 a year but I'm sure a search for Inland Revenue will give the exact figures.
It shouldn't be tricky to calculate.

 

[RobM.]

Found it! You are allowed £4,895 before tax at 10%. You may have a little to pay...jammy git!

cheers, the bastards tax me at normal rate, think i'll be having words

Whip round to get SZ on there?

I think the tax suggestion arises more from the fact that students are initially a massive drain on public money. Even the new higher fees are still massively subsidised by the government**




**I don't actually know this for a fact but assume they must be subbed in some way to make up the shortfall between the figure of about 3K and the supposed cost of about 12K

see, i'm one of those good student, who pay all there tax, and didn't sponge of the goverment to pay my fees, all paid by myself, yet they still tax me,

i think the tax returns form needs to be filled out in April

i can see the 'student; thing now - they go out get cheap booze and p%&s it al up the wall, i do the same but with my wages

only good thing is thr 10% discount in the shops , 15 in topman

 

[FeedTheGoat]

This guy has now sold every space on the page, selling the last one on ebay for $38,100.

Fair play to him, i really wish i'd thought of this idea. but then all is not quite as it seems, he must have had a 2 or 3 year gap year and is in the hall generally reserved for the nicest rooms and the more wealthy band of students at this uni so i doubt he was quite as poor as the stories make out...but not a bad effort to make however much in about 5 months.

There is nothing wrong with us tax dodgers

 

[West Country Shrimper]

You should have got a letter through from the Inland Revenue which tells you that the amount has gone up for tax. IE before it used to be £4700 before u get taxed but now it's £5080.

Im actually paying tax now but im planning to claim it back come April.
