Charlie Mullins

You can see Pimlico Plumbers' accounts on the Companies House website. The company number is 02012715.

The latest annual accounts are for the year ended 31 May 2021. The last complete year before he sold 90% of his shareholding.

It is slightly misleading for him to say that he has paid £120m in tax. Most of that will be CT on the company's profits. Obviously some of it will be PAYE on his salary. There will also be some CGT on the sale of his 90% shareholding plus income tax on his dividends.

Please do not forget that it was his employees who did the work (apart from when he first started) and who earned those profits. There is no way in which he could have earned turnovers in excess of £40m just working as a plumber.

In the accounts referred to above the net profits were circa £4.9 m and £3.2 m was paid out in dividends.

The accounts are easy to read.

eggplant I think calling a self made millionaire a spiv is far more representative of you than CM

I thought it was what any Government wanted, its citizens to do well and pay £’s in taxes to HMRC

Where he retires to is his choice.

Gosh, what a lot of nastiness to a guy none of us have probably ever met.

Par for the course on GN at the moment unfortunately 🤷‍♀️

Really? Any more examples?

I think weeping over some spiv going to Dubai is rather unpleasant.

I think he sold the business too.
He was working class Galaxy, Broad accent and starting out from absolutely nothing. I say well done to him. Amazing the nasty comments on here because he’s quitting the country. It’s up to him. Dyson has got nothing to do with it. This is about Charlie Mullins, who had nothing and made himself a multi millionaire by his own hard work. In doing so, he employed many people and paid a lot of taxes. He owes nothing else to the country.

I have no issue with him selling his business, retiring and living elsewhere? Why shouldn’t he?

They won’t all go, the rich ones, I remember the so called brain drain !

He was very Anti Brexit which I thought might have made him popular on here.

I couldn't care less.

He’s a self-made man and I say good luck to him

Happens often on here.

poor bugger, so poor
he owns a whole village in hertfordshire doesn't he?

Well he sounds like the kind of bloke we can do without. Seems nobody has bothered to mention that he once said someone should kill Sadiq Khan. Classy.

He strikes me as a third-rate Arthur Daley type spiv.

^MPs earn their money off the backs of working taxpayers. Some of the workers don’t feel treated too well.^

They don't. They are directly state paid public employees. AS taxation doesn't fund spending they're not cheating us in any way.

None of the research I’ve done says that doesn’t happen.
But I’ll take your word for it.
Where do you say the money to run Parliament including paying MPs salaries and expenses comes from.

Quite a few of us have mentioned it. It doesn’t seem to make a difference to his admirers.

It won't. He always seemed a rather unpleasant type to me.

Why do people fall for all this stuff?

Never heard of him. However if he’s paid £120 million in tax, I don’t suppose he’s going to be too worried about putting the heating on, even if he’s decided to emigrate to Iceland.

There was a very interesting programme a couple of years ago where CM invited a young, unemployed guy to share his large apartment in London with him for a couple of weeks.

CM showed him around, gave him a beautiful room and provided him with food etc. The guy was very impressed and said he would like all of this one day. CM told him he left school at 15 with no qualifications and no help from anybody but started his own business.

As the days went on the guy was staying in bed till lunchtime, leaving mess everywhere and making no attempt to find work.

CM then gave him a real talking to and said with no motivation to better himself he was going nowhere and as I recall they fell out for a few days.

The programme ended with CM wishing him well and promising he would always be there for him and the guy accepting that without some input from himself he would never get on. It was actually quite moving.

Yes: I was initially going to use the Telegraph source but as you say the paywall didn't give the quote in full.

Like I said, Lisaangel10, it was actually deleted by Elon Musk it was judged so nasty (and he's your actual "free speech" guru). Why do you consider tellmama an unreliable source when they are just quoting an X post?

good riddance!

It gives more details what he actually said, which was very racist.
It has to be quote something for Elon Musk to ban!

What a horrible man, good riddance. Yes, I bet he was headed that way anyway but has an inflated ego and has to score points whatever he does.

Is that the most reliable source you can find? 😝

Whether he said it or not I have no idea but remember the repulsive so called “comedienne” Jo Brand who said on TV that someone should have thrown battery acid over Nigel Farage rather than milkshake. She didn’t lose her BBC job or any other even though she said it in front of millions.

Well, it’s in the Telegraph too, but I didn’t attach that as it’s a paywall. I presume you consider the Telegraph a relatable source? He definitely said it.

Good riddance- he isn't exactly an asset to whatever country he goes to.

With regard to Mullins, he made his money off the backs of his workers. He had a good idea but his workers weren't treated too well. I have no objections to the wealthy entrepreneurs if they are good employers.
Some of the views he expressed about workers' rights were 'retro' to say the least.

There are some GNers who live abroad, including me, but I don't think that any of us went in order to avoid tax.

In France we submit a combined tax return and to date, after allowances, have not paid any income tax. However, I am a registered auto entrepeneur and cotisations at the rate of nearly 27% are deducted from the fees paid by my company. I pay CT on my profits in the UK.

There will be a number of reasons for moving abroad. For us, I'd always wanted a holiday home here, to which my DH was opposed because he didn't want to do up any more houses. We wanted a project, an adventure and a change.
