Yes forgot that lot. Interesting report https://www.linklaters.com/en/insights/publications/2020/top-track-100-britains-top-100-private-companies Some snippets Now in its 19th edition, this year’s analysis shows how Britain’s top 100 biggest private companies delivered a record combined sales...

So just what could they do about it? Give me an answer. The min wage provides some control of the bottom end of the salary scale. Increase are likely to be passed on to customers. Listed companies set their own profit levels which influences dividends and share prices. Consumption of their...

Your assuming they were idiots. Afraid not. Take repaint every 3 years. It would not be a good idea to wait for rot to set in. Experience of that will have been gained and other factors as well. Also what paint to use. Mrs T described the sell of as short term housing stock. In real terms she...

In some ways I see it as the way of the world. The Govt comes in - could they do better? The answer to that in some respects is no as money is needed to provide jobs. That money needs to show a profit or it wont be invested. Serious job providers are generally listed. Some form of startup may...

True. What I meant was asset wealth is not taxed in respect to the posts. Income is. Mind you if you have a house, premises etc you pay indirect taxes. The link mentions what those are.

There is also a link to a report on handling the banking crisis. Both NIC's increased. It's the sort of measure needed when there is no chance of getting enough from CGT The taxes grouped as ‘capital taxes’ in the chart below grew from 1.0% of GDP in 1999/00 to 1.4% in 2019/20 and 2023/24...

The top 10% of income taxpayers (including the top 1%) are expected to contribute around 60% of income tax receipts. The bottom 50% of income taxpayers (with incomes under £26,300) are expected to contribute around 10% of income tax receipts. These figures only include those paying income tax...

Also takes no notice of info that gets posted. ;) I suppose that the 50 to 90% percentile is a large group but the below 50 is also a fairly large group with a lower taxation burden. 9.5/25.5. There was a period where the usual average paid more. Ideal target for votes.

Simple really. Immigration and cost of living increases. Biden did well on the economy but effects not noticed by a lot of the population. TBH I find it hard to believe he can do much about both of those aspects but add voters like this to the MEGA lot, his faithful and he wins,

It's more interesting to look at the chart as it also show % of income. ~41% have done well out of the change - vote collector as has the lower sector, votes again. Net result without those is all pay a similar %. You might say that the 41% group are the so called average earners. These will...

https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CBP-8513/CBP-8513.pdf So who set it up as it is now?

LOL Yet more word games.

An area Labour intend to concentrate on. Most of no - a higher proportion yes. That relates to income tax. The biggest tax collector.

Even those for it have a problem. It can have an indirect effect on wages or more correctly wage growth. The BofE press conference was way more interesting really. It's effect on interest rates. The press did it's best to get them to say the change would hold off further reductions. Their...

All wonderful etc but ignores the reasons for her increasing it. She has for that very reason. So it's a surprise but I am sure even you were aware of what they meant by not increasing tax on working people - and lo along comes another word game even when people knew what group they were...

A broader pundit view is that while Biden had maintained USA's economic performance the effects were not noticeable to a lot of the public. Inflation and higher cost of living figured in voting decisions. Immigration as well. Biden also introduced a number of bills that evolved into the...

His intent that causes most worries is import tariffs into the USA. They could completely mess up world trade. Trump's tariff on Chinese steel was mentioned. China stopped importing some sort of bean from the US and bought from Brazil instead. Seems this was expensive for both parties. Oz had...

The joint ownership schemes are pretty good really - if they can be found. A very young lady was interviewed rather recently who had one. The only way she could get on the ladder.

BBC comment on Trump. No idea where the info came from but might relate to Regan effects. He intends to borrow $t's. They wonder what will happen if the FED says no you aren't.

From memory £15b that will be rechecked in 3 years. they may trial jabs on some clinically obese if there are indications that it's preventing them from working. NI - the BofE feel pay rises are going to be over inflation and higher than the NI increase. 4% as the job market is tight. Getting...
