Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

I wonder if he is appealing against the "bedroom tax"?

Is this true?

But the fascination with bike-riding Cameron's '£30million' refuses to go away. As does gossip of his alleged personal family fortune, helped by the Mail on Sunday's disclosure that he paid off the £75,000 mortgage on the £1.5 million home in North Kensington, London, that he owns with his wife Samantha, after they took out a £350,000 taxpayer-funded HSBC mortgage on his designated Oxfordshire constituency second home.

While within the rules, this is precisely the kind of financial jiggery-pokery for which other MPs have been criticised in recent weeks, as details of the way they have abused their second homes allowances have been made public.

For his part, Cameron claims he was able to pay off the mortgage on his London home by selling shares. But he is still open to the charge that someone who's clearly worth a few bob was 'playing' the system by claiming more than £21,200 from taxpayers in 2005-6, for the mortgage interest paid on his constituency home.

New EU VAT rules threaten to kill UK micro firms

The EU's new VAT MOSS rule, which is due to come into force on January 1, will create a #VATMESS and strangle innovation, say the UK's small business owners

Small businesses trading online are up in arms about a new EU regulation, which states that from 1 January 2015, VAT on digital products will be chargeable in the place of purchase rather than place of supply in the EU.


The regulatory tweak - known as #VATMOSS - is being introduced to stop multinational corporations that trade online - such as Amazon or Google - from diverting all their European sales through low-VAT countries.


However, small business owners claim that #VATMOSS is likely to hurt many UK micro firms selling digital services, including: ebooks, e-courses, recorded training videos, music and audio downloads.


After January 1, whenever an ebook or pdf is sold to a consumer in the EU (digital services for businesses are not covered by the new arrangement), the seller is automatically liable for VAT MOSS and must therefore also waive their UK "de minimis" threshold - and apply VAT to everything they sell, not just the digital services.


The new law will affect thousands of sole traders. These companies have two options. They they can register for VAT in every EU member state where they have customers, which could be burdensome but does mean they can take advantage of the domestic threshold for their UK sales. Or they can set up a ‘Mini One Stop Shop’ (hence, “VAT MOSS”) by registering for VAT in the UK. This then funnels the VAT payments to the rest of the EU states.


This is complex as the firms will need to split their business between sales to EU customers and UK customers to ensure that they only pay VAT on the supplies to customers in other member states and do not pay VAT on their domestic supplies.

According to Carla Watkins, who runs stationery subscription business Ink Drops, the absence of a threshold to protect tiny businesses from the VAT charge is threatening to kill her enterprise.

"We'd planned to expand into downloadable products from December," she told the Telegraph. "I had planned to launch an e-course in January. Though I've worked on it for months, it now falls under these rules. Even if I could find a way to capture the correct information, it's simply not worth the extra time and hassle admin for VAT compliance - we are now being held to the same corporate compliance procedures as giants like Amazon.

"In one fell swoop, they're stifling innovation and cross border trade, and forcing people to close their businesses - all for the lack of consultation, clarity and communication."

Those changes mean that the UK will get about £300m extra in VAT receipts

Yes, chopping the big boys diversions is good, but only £300m, I thought it was a lot more than that.


But what about the micro businesses?

Surely a higher cut off wouldn't hurt anyone, and keep a few more in work.

If you raise the cut off then the VAT receipts will go down.

Yes, but keeping it across the board will kill all receipts from a lot of the tidlers, lots of tidlers out there.

That threshold was there for a reason.
