Given everything Jack has done to food over the years, it was only a matter of time before it started fighting back. Expect more of this.

I know it’s totally legal, but I’ve always found the idea of people who claim to be super left leaning setting up as ltd companies to minimise their tax a bit icky. Especially when they’re so fucking vocal and feel morally superior (yes I’m looking at you Jack)I was about to say the same thing.
@MsGilmore she was definitely listed as Director (the one and only).
I suspect @Mrs Peel that as GriftyMcGriftFace (best name) suggested, she took advice from her accountant (although in something I read this afternoon, she listed herself as accountant, in a long list of job titles she held - if that's the case, it would have been bad advice, but I digress) and set up the company to reduce her tax burden.
As mentioned previously, I did a lot of accounts for small businesses, some were limited and some just sole traders who needed a helping hand. One such business (hopefully none of the directors are on here or I couldmyself ) had 3 directors, each holding a share worth £1 each, of which 3 were issued. They were also all self employed. From the business, they received dividends - which were pretty impressive amounts as it was an extremely profitable company - and only "earned" a couple of quid under the threshold for paying tax. Essentially, at that particular time, they were legally earning around £8,500 and not paying tax. Their dividends were taxable in accordance with the current rates at the time, but this still worked out beneficially for them. They also had director's loans, but I wasn't involved in that so no idea if that would also be beneficial - I'm guessing it would be or why do it (I believe the company pays tax on them, but it wasn't my area of expertise so can't really say without digging).
Rather cleverly,they bought a cheap building between them, then rented it to the company as premises, earning themselves a massive payment each month in rental income! This more than covered the refurbishment required as well as giving them a wad of cash! Somehow this was tax free but I never understood why (their official accountant looked after that part when I submitted my part of the accounts to him).
Apologies for rambling, I guess what I'm trying to say is that Jack's accountant will definitely have worked out the most tax-efficient way for her to operate. But if she didn't keep on top of stuff - and she obviously didn't - then it was a complete waste of time.
In my opinion, and this is just a guess, I'd say she definitely wouldn't have been showing any PayPal donations (from whatever source) as income in her self-assessment submissions. Unless they have reason to doubt what you're submitting, in my experience HMRC generally don't chase up thousands of sole traders for proof of income, so she could be getting away with all sorts.
*Taps sign*Why does she make up shit like this? It serves no purpose. Perhaps she has ‘work’ she wants to get out of in the morning
Luckily for her, sharks regenerate teethHow many teeth did she start with? I refuse to believe she has any left to break. This is a weekly occurrence.
"I Jack Monroe, have the most teeth, all the teeth, more teeth than anybody ever."
What? You don’t follow Delia? She’s always tweeting about her bad mentals, descriptive imagery of her vulva, and chucking in references to the depths of human despair. Also, Gordon Ramsey just started a descriptive thread about an ingrowing toenail between recipes. (Just kidding on both counts your honour.)This is not the kind of Twitter content you expect from the work accounts of food industry professionals, is it?
She’s actually claimed to have very few teeth in the past, so every single crumbling tooth must be a significant loss!How many teeth did she start with? I refuse to believe she has any left to break. This is a weekly occurrence.

You’ve seen those pics. Those teeth go on forever. https://giphy.com/wPE3PC7Qoo2wnDon5EHow many teeth did she start with? I refuse to believe she has any left to break. This is a weekly occurrence.

Jack is certainly unique.What? You don’t follow Delia? She’s always tweeting about her bad mentals, descriptive imagery of her vulva, and chucking in references to the depths of human despair.

I had never heard of Carole’s therapy speciality before but it sounds like it would suit Jack to a tee.

Not to get back to teeth counting (although we have a lot more members who might want to do it privately) she did claim to have too many teeth at one point. We got excited - hence the counting teeth - only to find she actually has an entirely normal amount.How many teeth did she start with? I refuse to believe she has any left to break.

I assumed you were the same age as Lynne. And looked like her. Must stop judging people by their avatar!I'm roughly the same age as Jack and my teeth are not randomly breaking/crumbling/falling out of my head. I do brush and floss regularly though. How are her teeth in such bad condition? She seems to completely lack basic hygiene. Manky.
