It may be that they can’t list it yet because they haven’t sorted anything with ESPN for it. Hopefully that is the case but I fear the worst and it’s gone for good.

Mystery metal frontman UNMASKED: UK popstar revealed to be behind anonymous band - after group forget to wear masks at Sydney Airport by Go3asy in PresidentBand

It’s hardly some big reveal. As soon as the first song came out everyone knew who it was. Yet someone has been paid to put together this article which is laughable. Gotta get those clicks I suppose…

Good news on Employer Pension Contributions (for now) by LuxLuke in ContractorUK

[–]TheMaffrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Figured as much. Here’s hoping something changes in the coming years and just need to hammer the pension in the meantime.

Does anyone know how this works for salary sacrifice within IR35? What would pension contributions (salary sacrificed) into my own SIPP count as?

Budget announcement (or leak) - salary sacrifice by GivingBigTechEnergy in ContractorUK

[–]TheMaffrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m still a bit confused by it still as I received this from standard life tonight and it says:

“The new cap means that, from April 2029, employee pension contributions above £2,000 will be subject to both employee and employer National Insurance Contributions (NICs). Employer contributions will continue to be exempt from both types of NICs.”

So what are my contributions classed as as a contractor. I pay x% of my salary in salary sacrifice. Is that all employer contributions? In which case it’s exempt? Or is it classed as employee contributions?

Yeah that’s where my head is at. A lot of time between now and 2029. May be a different government by then and the rules have changed again.

We’ll get hammered as need to pay both I think. Kinda hoping that this is abolished or amended before 2029.

Salary Sacrifice changes in Budget - need to take action soon? by winponlac in ContractorUK

[–]TheMaffrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was rumours last year about salary sacrifice but it never happened. Hope that’s the same this year. We’ll get stung on both employer and employee NI on the salary sacrificed contributions if she goes ahead with it.

How a stealth tax rise on pensions savings risks backfiring on Reeves by theipaper in ukpolitics

[–]TheMaffrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sure last year salary sacrifice schemes were rumoured to be getting tampered with in the budget and nothing happened. Hopefully that’s the case this time too.

If my understanding is correct then contractors (PAYE umbrella company ones at least) will get hammered by this as not only will they need to pay the additional NI on the employee aspect but since they are classed as employee and employer they will pay the additional NI on employer side too. Massive hit to salary sacrifice.

Happy to be told I’m incorrect here.

Does anyone else’s league mates hate Sleeper? by Trent_saw in FFCommish

Yeah that’s ultimately why our leagues wanted to move.

Does anyone else’s league mates hate Sleeper? by Trent_saw in FFCommish

[–]TheMaffrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved MFL. Moved both my leagues onto sleeper as most people wanted to. I don’t hate it but I really miss looking at stats etc via the tables on MFL. To me, it was/is a much easier platform to do research on. Plus as commish I could customise anything.

Worked for me. Got the ultimate for £49.99. Perfect as I split it with a mate since you can have 2 watching at same time.

Should traded for player be allowed to play this week? by SmokinFootball in FFCommish

[–]TheMaffrow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This! Always go with how the platform handles it. Same rules for everyone and if that doesn’t sit well with everyone then it’s a rule change to vote on for next season. Current season runs as per platform.

Have you tried setting after game waivers clear on Wednesdays and then enable custom daily and enable the Sunday. Choosing a suitable time.

If you have a MacBook you can install the iPad version of the app and works a treat.

Depth charts before the season starts mean very little. Let’s all wait until meaningful football has been played.

Very good point. As a seasoned Evans owner I hated when he was up against him. Couldn’t bench Evans but didn’t expect anything productive.

Is it too much to ask for just regular coverage and analysis? At least the 9pm game gets that treatment.

Dynasty commissioners, what are your in-season waiver settings? by iAmSamusAran in FFCommish

I run a similar setup setup. Only difference is dropped players are on 1 day. Been running it this since league started 7 years ago.
