Local services scrutiny warning
Posted by: | CommentsLocal authorities told to review pay of ‘town hall tax-dodgers’
Posted by: | Comments
Controversy over the practice of public servants acting as consultants to minimise tax has spread to local government after it emerged that one of David Cameron’s favourite councils, Hammersmith and Fulham, has brought in advisers to see if it has breached the law.
The move came as the communities secretary, Eric Pickles, issued orders requiring councils to reveal whether any employees are using special arrangements to reduce tax on their earnings.
The guidance makes clear that, under the Localism Act, authorities in England and Wales should review senior executives’ pay packages, particularly where arrangements could be perceived as being designed to minimise tax payments.
Pickles said: “Local people have a right to know whether town hall tax-dodgers are short-changing the public purse; whether bumper bonuses are being awarded to poorly performing workers; or whether pay is being hiked up for execs who’ve boomeranged from post to post.”
The issue of full-time staff being paid via specially established companies surfaced this week when the Guardian found 25 health department staff were being paid through companies – a practice the department failed to reveal in parliamentary written answers.
It is now mounting an internal investigation.

Breaking Causes.com has launched to provide a free community service for nonprofit organizations and good causes that uses an innovative reward system for attracting donors. Breaking Causes takes the concept of the online Daily Deal discount coupon made popular by Groupon and creates Daily Deal campaigns for good causes that are promoted locally and regionally across the national media network The Breaking News Network. With Deals discounts ranging from 50%-80%, consumers not only feel good about supporting a worthy cause, but they receive tangible value for their donation.
Breaking Causes, together with local managers of the Breaking News Network cities, selectively work with good causes to create campaigns with local merchants at the grass roots level. Participating merchants receive good will from their community support while benefiting from new customer acquisition in the same way Groupon’s Daily Deals does. The cause benefits fully from all funds raised; after hard costs associated with coupon payment processing, fulfillment and after care support are deducted, the net proceeds are donated in full to the cause within 15 days.
Breaking Causes also selectively works with local businesses in creating the same type innovative fund raisers for causes they support. Causes and local merchants can submit their interest at www.breakingcauses.com/contact
“The idea of a Groupon for causes is really a no-brainer,” says Joe Waters of Selfishgiving.com, a blog devoted to following cause marketing trends, and Director, Cause Marketing with the Boston Medical Center. “People love great buys and to support a great cause. What makes BreakingCauses.com unique is that they deliver great deals and donate all net proceeds to a charity, not just a portion. This is truly doing well and good.”
Today, Breaking Causes launches its first fund raising campaign for the victims of the San Bruno Fire, presented across ten Breaking News city sites (for example, Breaking Coastside News) spanning the San Francisco peninsula. One of the aims of Breaking Causes is to quickly mobilize business communities to develop fund raisers in unexpected or crisis situations. All it takes is a coupon.
About Breaking Causes
Breaking Causes.com is the community service initiative of The Breaking News Network chartered to support and fund good causes, local, regional and national, by developing Daily Deal campaigns that are actively promoted on the Breaking News Network and its social media feeds. The Breaking News Network is a national media network of hyperlocal city sites with the mission of serving communities with social media sourced local news and daily deals.
