One thing for certain careful - you have never built your own business and never will.
Digest the first 6 words and then the rest of the sentence. You are getting playing with Lloy and BP shares confused with Joe Smiths on site welding. Profits are a luxury and the threat of being stung by reluctant and red tape and legislation wised up twisting larger concerns is ever present. As are the uncertainties of the order book, the rent, govt dictats like another increase in the minimum wage, energy and fuel bill rises, the worry of supplying a quote or working to a time contract or the dependable employee who turns up Monday to announce hes off to live in Spain etc etc etc.

Starmer, Rayner and Reeves will agree with you though. Running a business is a breeze, makes you tight fisted and more money than you deserve and your shoulders are broad and deserve to be taxed til cos you are a bottomless pit. Its far different in the real world - but they dont live here

Capital gains tax have been less severe than income tax.
Ploughing the profits back into the business is tax efficient compared with paying yourself a generous cash bonus.

Kevin BellLet's say I start a business. I take a small salary from it and plough the profits back into it to fund its growth. Then after ten years I decide to sell it. According to Reeves I should pay 45% tax on my 'gain'. How is that 'fair'? I have sacrificed ten years income and now give nearly half of the money I invested to the government. Who will start a business on those terms?Reply by Ralph Harris.Ralph Harris59 min agoReply to Cambridge PersonBut without any guaranteed and generous index linked pension...Daily Telegraph

No I think the UK will be closer to an authoritarian state by 2029 than ever imagined

Amazing how Zelenski has to ask permission from America before he does anything.
A proxy war that is all it is.

It will end when America wants a deal, not before, Zelenski has nothing to do with it.

The way they are hoping this small border crossing of 400 sq miles, (20miles x 20miles) will embarrass Putin so much he will be replaced.

Careful what you wish for, the hard line military hawks are losing patience.
They have some very powerful weapons, non nuclear, at their disposal.
Putin replacement could be even worse.

scruff like many I'm just considering how to keep nice and warm this winter, bleating about the probable disaster after the last rolling disaster is defeatist.

The only thing the last lot did was serve themselves, maybe Starmer really does want to serve and just maybe he 4eally does mean it when he talks about those with the broadest shoulders - we shall see.

chchchchanges, I'm with you ace, fkme if all weve got to worry about is Snettisham council turning the bus shelter lights off at 8pm it can't be that bad can it? That said its this sort of boĺlox which masks what's really going on like selling off aĺl our custard creams. Are you an agent of the left Scruff? I don't mind admitting your proximity to Manchester is a little bit concerning?
