Official Contractor UK Budget Thread 2017

[BrilloPad]

They don't know what the individual is getting when C&A fleece them for 2k/day though. They see a contractor's invoice though, with VAT on it to make it look even worse.

Maybe we need some PR people. Our slogan "we are less evil than cr4pita, GAFA and Lord Ashcroft".

Does anyone else feel like they are in front of a firing squad and the gun has just jammed?

Yep or sat in the chair, waiting for them to throw the switch and there has been a power cut.

Don't worry, well get the power back on and try again tomorrow.

Official threads get on average a lot more responses than otherwise

In my case it just makes my current property much easier to sell, which is why I said it is time to move house.

Are you moving out of London?

Nice headline tax break, but in reality does a £5k tax cut really address the problem of first time buyers not being able to afford property (down south anyway)?

It might be a long time since you bought your first house, but £5k less cash to find is pretty significant. On a 95% LTV for a £300k house, you've cut the cash needed by 25%.



This thread is hilarious to read in hindsight. Page after page of smug "oh but he's just about to do X" posts all left hanging, as if proof were needed that CUKkers know jack tulip about these things

Seems like it's all OK for now. Crisis staved off for another year.

If they did, they'd be really angry at the value for money...

Higher NICS and Lower Dividend threshold.

Can't find any mention of lower dividend threshold in the Autumn version. Does that mean its still happening or has it now been dropped?

I assume you mean the reduction in the zero-rated band. Yes, it's there. Still declining to 2k from April 2018 onwards.
