AVB Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I really hope not, has the country got that short a memory? Yes. Opinion polls would indicate no overall majority which will probably mean Libour and SNP running/ruining the show. I am putting a large bet on that. Then I am hedged, although still significantly exposed, against the financial chaos that they will bring. Think about it. They know that they screwed it up last time but still get voted in. They think "blimey we can really go to town this time and truly shaft the country even more than last time and within a few years the public will give us another chance". As I said before - we get the government we deserve! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHOOTEMUP Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Do you really believe that the money saved will not be wasted on some other 'government initiative' rather than being used for something constructive? But as a common or garden employee, if you sold your car and put the money in the bank it would not be given a thought. As a sole trader if I do that then under these rules it would be classed as income and taxed and I bet it wouldn't be easy to get the HMRC vultures to agree otherwise. Spot on well said they want to eventually get rid of cash in society then everyone pays lots more tax ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenshooter Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I remain to be convinced the con men represent me as a PAYE higher rate taxpayer,and I cant ever forget they sold off our utilities to the highest bidder who are now almost exclusively overseas owned and who are taking the profit from them out of the country, and I certainly dont ever want to vote for the traitorous labour scum that gave my country away so UKIP for me and a chance I willingly would love to take.shame it seems more dont have the balls to try for change. KW For someone so clearly disillusioned with the main parties I can't believe you're now going to vote for a party that has one of the biggest crooks in UK politics as deputy chairman.

SHOOTEMUP Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 It may not be a requirement to link your account today but how long before it becomes one? All I'm saying, is that this is being sold to us as a way to reduce people's administrative burden when it's actually a creeping attempt to reduce tax evasion. I am fully in support of attempts to address tax evasion but they should have the balls to be open about that, they might actually get some support for doing so. To suggest self employed tax liability can be calculated using little more than the sum of credits and debits hitting a bank account is a gross oversimplification, which if you'd know if you'd been self employed or run a company. The results of those calculations are likely to be difficult to argue and hence many won't bother. I have every reason to suspect they'll make a complete bloody hash of it and, like they have many times before, waste a fortune in tax payers money in the process. At the end of the day, it's global companies that need to be targeted not the self employed! But as always, it's easier to pick the low hanging fruit.

pimpkiller Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 The problem with the tory cuts is that it effects the most vulnerable and needy people snd the vast majority of people dont know what they have done and just how bad it is. The homeless the disabled the mentally ill childrens services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ordnance Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 The problem is I doubt any of the other parties budgets would be any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
