This is happening across small businesses.
We are penalised for trying to do the right thing and employ staff. It would be so much cheaper to take on self employed sub contractors who would then lose so many workers rights.

Labour budget has failed small businesses massively

[Sky News @SkyNews]

"Our industry is totally done."

Founder of the Salon Employers Association Toby Dicker says he was "shell shocked" after it was announced in the budget that employers' National Insurance was set to rise by 1.2%.

@BenInRushcliffe @UKLabour ..people, we are hard working individuals that struggle to draw much of a salary ourselves while we try desperately to keep our employees well paid.
Prices will have to go up.. and everyone will end up paying the cost

[SJL Heating @SJLheating]

@BenInRushcliffe @UKLabour …] however, many in my industry now take on “staff” and self employed subcontractors as it’s so much cheaper than employing people.
Small businesses are the backbone of this county.. and we’ve been the hardest hit by far with this budget. We aren’t millionaire business…[cont..

[SJL Heating @SJLheating]

Was a brutal reality watching the small business owner on @SkyNews with @KayBurley
Explaining why doing the right thing and employing staff instead of making them self employed subcontractors is being penalised hugely in this budget
I hope this interview is shared relentlessly

[SJL Heating @SJLheating]

@JeremyVineOn5 We are incredibly anxious about this budget. We work extremely hard to break even and feel small businesses are being targeted yet again #jeremyvine

[SJL Heating @SJLheating]

Maybe small businesses shouldn’t be attacked for trying to grow, and employ others.
We already spend a huge amount on staff National Insurance and for that being hiked even more will mean some businesses will have to either increase prices or reduce staff numbers.

We always love transformation programmes, but programmes such as #YourGardenMadePerfect should make sure gas safety is taken into account!

We are warning businesses about “bailiff scam”. One business I know lost £2k
We have the phone number they use but neither @actionfrauduk or @LancsPolice would take any details.
3 businesses phones in matter of minutes but police do nothing #bescamsafe

@BBCLancashire Interesting this is being investigated. Is that because it has a “police” link?
We tried to report fraud today with both @LancsPolice and @actionfrauduk and was told they wouldn’t even take details

[SJL Heating @SJLheating]

@safenorthants @LancsPolice @actionfrauduk Crazy isn’t it.
It’s like not investigating an attempted burglary because they didn’t manage to steal anything.
If we get two phone calls they’d investigate… so you only get to report a crime if it happens twice.
Woeful

[SJL Heating @SJLheating]

Just tried to report an active fraud to both the police @LancsPolice and @actionfrauduk and neither could take details.

No wonder fraud/crime is prevalent

[SJL Heating @SJLheating]

@safenorthants @LancsPolice @actionfrauduk So annoyed that no police or fraud dept was interested in the reporting. Their words don’t match their actions I’m afraid

[SJL Heating @SJLheating]

Has anyone successfully stopped @MrJosephValente spam texting their business?
It’s getting ridiculous now. We’ve never given him our number and he’s set it up that you can’t block his 😡
@Ofcom is this something you can help with?

[SJL Heating @SJLheating]

@MrJosephValente Was most of this spamming text messages that we’ve been trying to stop for months.
Stop texting us!

[SJL Heating @SJLheating]

Anyone know a way of stopping spam text messages from @MrJosephValente
He cleverly hides his number so you can’t block it.
I’m getting spam texts every day! 😡
I shouldn’t have to “opt out” .. I never wanted to “opt in”!!
#Spam

[SJL Heating @SJLheating]

@GBNEWS Small businesses are being massively squeezed.
Costs are increasing massively but understandably customer’s reluctant to pay more for services offered
Wage demands at record levels, costs at record levels
People forget small businesses can not absorb this
SUPPORT LOCAL!

Always a pleasure meeting up with our @baxiboilers rep!

@HMRCgovuk 2) only to find that lines of communication are impossible, is so demoralising.

I feel for the front line staff as I’m sure they feel the brunt of people’s frustrations, in this day and age, Tax & VAT should be so easy to administer

[SJL Heating @SJLheating]

@HMRCgovuk 🧵1) It’s impossible to speak to HMRC these days.
I’ve spent all afternoon on hold, and getting cut off each time after about 25 mins each time.
When you work exceptional hard to run a business based on honesty & integrity, and therefore want help and advice from the Tax office
