@sergeantdixie @dontdelay @LoftusSteve So the last line of your initial comment should have been 'they don't pay NI because they've paid in for decades'? What about those that haven't?

@sergeantdixie @dontdelay @LoftusSteve They don't pay NI when they continue working either

@UniqueRiggers Something about barbeques. I pressed ok to stop the noise and the message disappears - so pointless really!

@GaryHowes1974 @paullewismoney The value is what someone would pay to acquire it.

@MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK If his house is unoccupied, let his house insurance know asap. They will probably give you 30 days before voiding cover but at least you will be covered if something happens. Virgin Media is arguing over a few £. An uninsured loss could be far more.

@VaughanLewis1 @GlenMitchell1 Given that local authorities are saying that there's been 'no obvious impact' on state school numbers from the vat change, it appears that the displaced pupils remain in the private sector for schooling.

@PeterMacKaris @ListerLawrence And that £600k includes vat at 20% which cannot be recovered, import duty at 10%, and when they come to sell or if the car is written off in an insurance claim, corporation tax is due on the market value at disposal. Then there's BIK.

@bumgravy3 @RobertJenrick That's the calculated tax saving (although you need to reduce working days by annual leave too). It's a poorly written tweet as it doesn't make it clear that the assumption is you already work the overtime - but if he can't explain it properly does he actually understand it?

@JoanHenry7 @suespensley They were popular because you could give a limited amount (15p per day) income tax free. This was abolished in 2013 although such a trivial saving meant that the popularity declined significantly many decades earlier.

@GeorgeHindle46 @joncoupland Freelanders used to have the electric rear window. It's easier to put the odd thing in the boot, to not risk everything falling out when the boot is full, and it's a great way to get fresh air in the car (while moving) without the noise from opening another window.

@ChaosMoogle @Kngsolo305 @CasuallyGreg Most other countries include any Sales Tax in the price of goods displayed, but USA don't. There's a vagueness about how much you pay for most things!

@Bazunitec @tesla_jokes We're an ageing population. I'd like the independence it would give to remain mobile when I'm in my eighties as there's no public transport option where I live.

[Graham Duerden @drivenblowtorch]

@TeagueRoger @RachelT1722 @Jenny_1884 There was also tax relief on mortgage interest, which was a major cause of house price inflation and the subsequent crash (when MIRAS ended)

@RandomAndy2 @matcoch JW doesn't seem like the kind of person who would want to work for Laurence Stroll. Very different management style.

[Graham Duerden @drivenblowtorch]

@andoniAmu @montysbiscuit @Gabriel_Pogrund It's not double taxation as his salary is an allowable expense. so he won't pay CT on it.

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

The govt's Student Loan Plan 2 repayment freeze in April 2027 must be reversed. It isn't moral.

I'm concerned that my debate with Kemi Badenoch this morning distracts from the most immediate problem. In April 2027 Rachel Reeves will freeze the Plan 2 student loan threshold until 2030 which by then will increase graduate repayments by £300/yr more.

This is effectively a unilateral negative breach of the student loan contract. Students were told the threshold would rise with average earnings. No commercial lender would be allowed to do this. The govt shouldn't do it either.

Changing the terms of future students loans is a political decision - people may not like it but it is transparent. Negatively changing the terms of contracts already signed, and long in place, is a breach of natural justice.

[Graham Duerden @drivenblowtorch]

@mindofprospect @StephenO62223 Martin's plan benefits those who won't pay off the loan over 30 years (most students) and is in line with what they were told when they agreed the loan (threshold will increase with inflation)
