Re: Budget
Smokers got hammered again, and this time by a variation in the way tobacco is taxed... now by "minimum price". It'll be alcohol next.
All the usual sites said "no increases for alcohol" but those taxes are indexed so happen anyway, they don't need to be announced in the budget. |

Given that Mr K, has signalled he appears fine with your post in which you modified the quote, ever so slightly and thus, did not completely misrepresent what he had said, there is no case to answer. |
Re: Budget
Budget seems good to me, increased money for social care, a tax rise to fund it and some cuts to perks pensioners get.
Yet the press's reaction to a minor tax increase is pathetic, how do they expect things to be funded? I will happily pay the tax increase which I am affected by. |
Re: Budget
The NI thing is about closing a tax loophole. For the most part we are not talking about entrepreneurs in any sense of the word. They are mostly doing the same sort of work that employees are doing. If you are going to benefit from NI contributions in the same way as employees, expect to pay the same rates.

Re: Budget
Like I said I am affected and have no issue with it. :)
But you can bet there is people out there throwing a fit over this. |

tbh it's telling to see these Tory MP's going mad over a few pence rise in tax. If only they could get so irate about the state of the Health Service, or funding in Schools. Silly me, forgot, none of them use the NHS, or send their kids to state schools. All they are interested are in tax cuts for themselves, which the plebs should fund. |
Re: Budget
Well it will affect my daughter..she had to give up a 9-5 job due to debilitating migraine attacks.She has taken up working from home as a writers assistant and so had to go self employed so she could earn around around the attacks..So not all self employed are selfish **** avoiding paying their way...

No one knows, including the EU, what will happen in the Brexit negotiations. A lot of pessimism around, but how about a bit of optimism instead? Unless there's dire hard EU loving fanatics here, which I don't think there are, leaving the EU was the right decision. Even a okay-ish deal will put us in a better position long term than the EU. (and yes I do expect there to be some pain soon, but it will pass.) |
