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.

  Yup. And it was this reaction that caused OP to be told they were over the top, and for other adults to laugh at OP. 🤷‍♂️

  Thanks for taking the trouble to do the calculation. To be honest, it’s never occurred to me to report it online. I’ll have to look into it. I’ve just spoken to the ‘helpline’ and, after listening to ten minutes of some, admittedly, not too disagreeable jazz music, eventually got through to the call centre. After a lot of to-ing and fro-ing, during which the operator was clearly reciting from a script, the essential question of why I continue to be billed by the RV method, despite their insistence on fitting a meter three years ago, went unresolved. At first they couldn’t confirm whether I had a meter at all (not their department) but then agreed that I do have one but that it’s ’inactive’ (despite clearly recording usage as detailed above). I was told to contact the ‘meter department’ separately on a different number (Mon-Fri only) and was then asked if I wanted to sign up for various ‘pensioner’ benefits, none of which I understood (probably because I am a pensioner) before being asked to provide ‘feedback’, which I politely declined. Looking forward to listening to some more jazz on Monday morning though.
