thursday 1 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 "'In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." Well having my tax rate reduced by 1 percent for next year, plus a rebate for good behaviour, some free money to subsidise my electricity bills, rates moratorium for a year, plus abolition of tax on beer and wine, life seems to be getting better. Placate the masses with their own money. Link to post Share on other sites
Markie 0 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 The rebate is also going to be good for me but unfortunately the tax cut will come too late. I won't be paying much in the way of taxes next year if anything at all. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 what bugs me about the Tax man is that he freely and instantly takes taxes off your pay cheque, but when he has taken too much, does he own up and tell you? Does he calculate it himself and send it back almost as instantly as he took it?? Does he f*#k!! He makes you jump thru hoops filling out forms, waiting ages on the money that he effectively stole from you! Wa&%*#s!!! Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Originally Posted By: mina2 There you go, your company losing money for the first few years but still paying the tax.

Why did your company pay tax when you were losing money? And why can't it just pay bonuses to yourself and other staff if corporation tax is going to be 50%? Do you pay income tax at that rate? As for the big picture, its a bugger when everything is going through other people's books. Oh to be cash in hand. Link to post Share on other sites
