I can't find the bit on LLPs avoidance? Can you post it here?

The government wants to consult with LLPs particularly in large law firms where the LLP has corporate partners through which profits are channeled to the beneficial owners of the business. Another form of avoidance is through loss relief to the partners on failed LLPs.


The aim is to introduce anti-avoidance legislation, although final details of any proposals have not yet been published.


Occasionally similar arrangements may suit smaller business.

Did anyone's analysis say the the Budget was a piss in the wind that'll do sweet FA to the big picture - tinkering, infact giving small handouts to try and get re-elected whilst our debt stays as is and growth is almost non-existent. We need something radical and soon but no-ones got the balls (including the culpable man of the same name on the opposite bench) and the electorate doesn't want the pain that we need....i can see years of this ahead.
...why pensioners get nothing cut is beyond me, everyone acts like they are the wartime generation when infact many of them are asset and cash rich baby boomers with great final salary pensions...but touch them and the papers (of all persuasion) will be full of pictures of Gideon's hand in an old ladies purse. Winter fuel allowance for hordes of this group is a joke - means test it.

    • Had council stock not been sold off then it wouldn't have needed replacing. Whilst I agree that the prohibition on spending revenue from sales on new council housing was a contributory factor, where, in places where building land is scarce and expensive such as London, would these replacement homes have been built. Don't mention infill land! The whole right to buy issue made me so angry when it was introduced and I'm still fuming 40 odd years later. If I could see it was just creating problems for the future, how come Thatcher didn't. I suspect though she did, was more interested in buying votes, and just didn't care about a scarcity of housing impacting the next generations.
    • Actually I don't think so. What caused the problem was the ban on councils using the revenues from sales to build more houses. Had councils been able to reinvest in more housing then we would have had a boom in building. And councils would have been relieved, through the sales, of the cost of maintaining old housing stock. Thatcher believed that council tenants didn't vote Conservative, and home owners did. Which may have been, at the time a correct assumption. But it was the ban on councils building more from the sales revenues which was the real killer here. Not the sales themselves. 
    • I agree with Jenjenjen. Guarantees are provided for works and services actually carried out; they are not an insurance policy for leaks anywhere else on the roof. Assuming that the rendering at the chimney stopped the leak that you asked the roofer to repair, then the guarantee will cover that rendering work. Indeed, if at some time in the future it leaked again at that exact same spot but by another cause, that would not be covered. Failure of rendering around a chimney is pretty common so, if re-rendering did resolve that leak, there is no particular reason to link it to the holes in the felt elsewhere across the roof. 
    • Hey, I am on the first floor and I am directly impacted if roof leaks. We got a roofing company to do repair work which was supposed to be guaranteed. However, when it started leaking again, we were informed that the guarantee is just for a new roof and not repair work. Each time the company that did the repair work came out again over the next few years, we had to pay additional amounts. The roof continues to leak, so I have just organised another company to fix the roof instead, as the guarantee doesn't mean anything.
