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.

Yes, the whole edifice is rotten from top to bottom.

Time to tear it down, and voting for the mainstream simply guarantee's that wont happen.


Just look north of the border, now you have gorgeous, pouting, Nicola threatening to put millibandus into no10 (for a small fee)... no doubt you can see where that will lead.

Unfortunately, if you chop the chicken's head off, it runs around in a circle before eventually dying!

IDS, is shooting his mouth off again.

If you are a small business and pay for a service, or equivalent which you claim for as an expense for "taxation purposes" you are a fool if don't ask for receipt.

If it it a repeated expense claim and HMRC decides to have a "close" look at you books and receipts.

A house owner would be sensible if he makes repeated use of a tradesman, unless he has evidence of " the tradesman's credentials.

In practice the latter is unlikely to be investigated.

I suggest IDS like his policy implementations are not fit for purpose! (A nasty little man.)

If you are a small business and pay for a service, or equivalent which you claim for as an expense for "taxation purposes" you are a fool if don't ask for receipt.

===============

absolutely so, as has always but always been the case
it even applies to courier drivers using toll bridges/roads where it is actually impossible to get a receipt

Cash Payments I make and where I don't ask for a receipt:

Window cleaner who visits the house
Paperman who visits the house
Hairdresser
Barman at the pub
Car cleaning gang
Greengrocer at the market (but only one of its two sections - one does give, one doesn't give receipts)
In fact, most market traders never give me a receipt. They haven't time to bother with it.
Most car parking machines don't seem to want to proffer any kind of a receipt to me - or give me change, come to think.

With any of the above, I know I've paid and they know I've paid. I've got the goods (or received the services) and they know whether they have been paid or not.
By the way, I do not regard it as being my responsibility as to whether these guys declare their takings and pay taxes on it or not.

I pay my Council Tax using Direct Debit. This means cash goes out of my bank account for it once a month but they don't give me a receipt for each individual payment. I suppose they must keep a tally and they just knock down the 'balance owing' from the 'total annual amount due'.

More importantly, some commentators think the £ is about to slide towards £1 = $1.25

Why?

Well, if Labour wins, we’ve got the whole ‘anti-business’ issue. We end up with policies that sound like they’ll be popular at the ballot box, but turn out to be deeply stupid in practice (like freezing energy prices right before a massive slump in the oil price, for example).

Then throw the SNP into the mix. Suddenly we now have a left-wing minority government being propped up by a far more left-wing nationalist group, which is in the odd position of influencing policy-making for a country that it wants to break up.

If we get a Grexit, then some think some other countries will also have to leave the EU community too.

Add to that the total uncertainty of an 'In/Out' Referendum yielding an 'Out' result and whether the remainder of Europe might be unforgiving and lock us out of European markets, thus giving total disruption to the way ahead.

Aaargh! What on earth is one to do?

Probably the one who does not have a recognisable business address could be the window cleaner.

If you have reason to expect "Tax Evasion" especially with reasonable evidence you have a "legal" responsibility to report it to HMRC.

I doubt in practice many do.

But the sums are probably trivial compared with other "frauds".

The problem generally is for those proving and claiming tax expenses.

Your evidence of direct bank debit or payment s statement, or Card payment would be acceptable.

I must admit when computers and spreadsheets came on the market they were a god send.

''Well, if Labour wins, we’ve got the whole ‘anti-business’ issue.'' So if that were to happen where would the money come from to fund the UK?
2517

What ‘anti-business’ issue.''?

I can remember back in the 70s and 80s chatting with small and medium business "men" and all saying that the "did" better under labour than tory governments.

Same applied for 1997-2007.

What irritated them was the amount of "paper work" but if you look at the expenses being claimed and what for you could understand the need for "paper work".

Labour need a business community and a "financial service community", but both need sensible "regulation" and "oversight" to prevent the excesses of certain "individuals".
