Business owners also clobbered with 'blanket punishment' tax

The new dividend tax rate announced in the Budget came to me a surprise from a Conservative government. I understand that there has been some sharp practice with contractors, but this blanket ruling will hurt the independent businesses just as hard.


There is even a petition. I should quickly add that the petition is nothing to do with me. I wonder how long before there is little choice on Lordship Lane but to drink Frapachinos bought with Amazon vouchers found on Google.


It is getting harder to find the tax breaks for local entrepreneurs and businesses. Something tells me the new rulings will not last in their current form.

    • Another strong recommendation for Niko! As a first time buyer, I was new to choosing my own tradespeople, and Niko was recommended by a neighbour. My jobs were simple -- checking a macerating toilet, replacing the internal water mains stopcock valve, and replacing the tap on a bath so it could become a shower -- but he did them very efficiently and professionally. His prices were very reasonable. He gave good advice on all of the above projects and really cared about helping me adjust to being a homeowner, making sure I was making the best decisions for my house in the long term. This sort of advice is invaluable when you don't yet know what you are doing! I will absolutely be calling him again. 
    • It is not laziness that sends me shopping on the Internet, it's also the better choice, better prices, and also the availability of items impossible to obtain either locally or in central London. I try to avoid Amazon for both ethical and quality issues.  The internet has enabled many small businesses to trade which would not have been possible before, surely that's a good thing.  The genie is well out of the bottle.
    • @Azalea I'm pretty sure that was The Jubilee pool it was off the avenues near the estate. I do miss living in W10!
