£400 A Day Tax

My old mate who works in London told me he earns £4000 a day. I put a thread on here a few months ago when he got back in touch with me through Facebook and he gave me a cheque for £10,000.

I know my mate is stinking rich but he keeps going on that he pays £400 a day in tax. I can't work it out. So is he talking******?....

Drug dealer with a front business so he can put down "some" money as an income, pay some tax, and have an answer for how he buys a house/car etc. The rest of the money gets spent on things taxman can't track easily or at all, nights out, hookers, holidays and things. You can book some crap holiday in say Vegas in a cheap hotel, but when you get there pay cash for an awesome room and more hookers, drugs, booze and gambling.

He could be doing something where his basic pay is, well around £800 a day and that is the rate he's taxed at but once a month, year, whatever he gets his commission pay or whatever else which is massive, one off tax payment. So he's giving you his pay as it evens out over time, but only his "normal" tax payments.
 
On Facebook this is his job title "EMA/CEEMA/LAT AM BRM VC IT" ... i'll not name the company he works for ....

I'm not a massive tax genius, but I'd imagine if you earn £4k per day you can afford a pretty decent accountant who could do all sorts of fun and games with your income.

I've got a lot of friends who are daily rate contractors, I *think* the more efficient of them do something along the lines of minimum wage, quarterly dividends which then pay less tax, etc

You certainly wouldn't be paying close to 40% tax if doing things these ways.
 
I'm not sure I fully understand why somebody with the capacity to earn that sort of money - he must running a fairly significant business - would choose to spend his time bragging on Facebook about how much tax he pays.

Sounds like a lot of nonsense. The first 3 are GEO's, but 2 are duplicated?:

EMA: Europe, Middle east, Africa (Guess)
CEEMA: Central & Eastern Europe, Middle East & Africa
LAT: Latin America

Then you have the others:
AM: Account Manager?
BRM: Business Relationship Manager?

Unless im wrong i cant see this being a million pound job.
