Viewpoint by Len Tondel, from 1st November 2018
By
way of explanation. The
term 'home business' consists of two words.
'Business' is the second one; it's there to
qualify and support the word 'home' and all
that goes with it - and not vice versa. Consequently,
we also list below, items which are of interest
and value to the home. Whether in its context
as an office or as a part of your family and
lifestyle but always
directed at the improved prospects and enjoyment
that running a business from home, in its entirety,
can bring.
For a current, multi-part
overview of
starting and running a
business from home,
go here: http://www.homebusiness.org.uk/features.htm
 30.11.2018:
As consumer confidence slumps, it's clear Britons
weren't buying the Brexiteers' pitch even before
Carney's dire warning. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/comment/brexit-consumer-confidence-yougov-cebr-brexiteers-mark-carney-uk-economy-a8657626.html
Well - it's not as if the average Brit wants
armaments or offshore tax avoidance schemes,
is it?
Less
than half of businesses ready for no-deal Brexit,
warns Bank chief. https://www.aol.co.uk/news/2018/11/29/less-than-half-of-businesses-ready-for-no-deal-brexit-warns-ban/
As many as 'less than half'?! I'd be surprised
if the real figure was 10%.
Brexit
hastening business automation, study suggests.
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/brexit-hastening-business-automation-study-suggests-a8656666.html
And just in case 'the fuckin' plebs' think
this applies to Big Business only, let's not
forget the Aussies have already been showing
off a robot builder which can build a house
in 3 days; and who's got an AI speaker or even
a smart kettle in their homes? Soon, there won't
be any jobs for humans left at all. Which, given
the performance of Millennium Man, won't be
a surprise, either.
Did
British Spies Really Hack EU Negotiations?

Letting
agent 'demanding money to view properties'.
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-46111015
Don't use letting agents, then. Professional
landlords have better things to do with their
money.
As
Vienna rallies against Instagram, is it time
to ‘unhashtag’ travel everywhere?
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/long_reads/instagram-hashtag-tourism-travel-holiday-unhashtag-vienna-a8646111.html
Or, simply avoid popular tourist traps for
'fuckin' plebs'.
Tory
MP Johnny Mercer says there's 'nothing wrong'
with killing for what you believe in. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/johnny-mercer-conservative-mp-plymouth-army-tweet-killing-believe-for-values-a8655996.html
That's a new ideological take on politicians
fagging for American and Israeli terrorism and
Big Corp but if it's now OK with them, I'm sure
there will be millions of people from around
the world eagerly waiting to pull the trigger
or tighten the noose on Westminster's cabal
of craven war criminals.
Sex
for rent is a form of modern day slavery –
so why aren't we prosecuting abusive landlords?
https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/sex-for-rent-landlord-tenant-modern-slavery-housing-crisis-homelessness-rape-abuse-a8657561.html
I've
been a landlord for fifty years - and I have
yet to encounter, or hear of a specific case
of sex abuse for rent. Which is not to say it
doesn't happen: I'm sure it does. But isn't
the underlying problem a scandalous insufficiency
of affordable property? As 750,000 houses stand
empty. And developers, builders and shareholders
pay themselves thousands of millions in bonuses
and dividends to build middle-class homes only?
Not that the country's fake news media would
want to be upsetting their advertisers by pinpointing
the real problems, of course.

Brexit: Trump says May's Brexit plan could hurt
UK-US trade deal. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-46352463
The only 'US-UK trade deal' Trump and the
Americans are interested in is retaining the
UK for useful idiots and gofers to help them
profit from the killing of millions of innocent
civilians (currently standing at between 20
and 30 million since 1945 alone) plus the usual
bit of thieving on top of that. In terms of
profit to the UK and the UK taxpayer especially,
there is none; there never has been; and there
never will be.

Paris
protest: ‘People are in the red. They can’t

Perhaps the protesters (and French protesters
haven't had a single, original thought since
Voltaire passed away) should appeal for a bung
from their compatriots in the Connards Gontre
Travailleurs (CGT) movement who go on strike
every time they have a bowel motion, costing
the economy billions a day amid promises that
they are en greve for everyone's benefit.
However, to this day I don't know of anyone
in France outside minority French emmerdeur
trade unions who has ever enjoyed a solitary
sous of the benefits regularly granted
to the country's parasite-fonctionnaires.
And now, as always of course, it's time to
pay the piper. So as far as trade union criminals
are concerned, fuck their compatriots and let
the under-privileged majority pick up the tab
yet again.

83% of survey respondents expect their family

a third believe they will be exporting to new
international markets in two years' time. While
53% of family businesses plan to improve their
digital capabilities over the next two years,
54% believe they are vulnerable to a cyberattack
and 42% are concerned about digital disruption.

is recommending that banks should provide smaller
businesses with access to local advice and support
and greater transparency about fees and charges.

Russia

terrorists, says head of Army. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/russia-isis-al-qaeda-british-army-chief-moscow-military-threat-uk-a8649686.html
Makes you wonder why the British taxpayer
has spent trillions on financing the country's
professional murderers, terrorists, a dozen
illegal invasions and millions of refugees from
the Middle East and Africa, then. When that
money could have been spent on peaceful, profitable
trading by hundreds of thousands of small businesses
who have received just threepence hal'penny,
instead. Still, we can see why it's time to
shift to another target now that the Americans
- and Obama especially - have stopped financing
ISIS. (Israeli Settlers In Syria.) Although
it would seem North Korea and Iran are more
manageable targets than the Ruskies, who are
now leading the arms race as well - according
to independent military expertise. Not just
looking to augment their extravagant pension
pots still further.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/brexit-no-deal-normandy-customs-checks-france-herve-morin-third-country-food-a8644736.html
Perhaps Brexiteers, lying, treacherous, fagging
scum though they might be, are simply following
the French model for 'not telling the truth'?
And not 'the European model' as suggested by
the French regional 'president'. Especially
when it comes to (not) dealing with endless
criminal strikes targetting its innocent neighbours
who simply want to go about their work! Or even
producing some 'truthful' reporting instead
of endless state propaganda.

This serial-lying, war criminal being groomed

he had actually earned, eh? In the meantime,
French criminal striker-merde and domestic
terrorist groups like Les Chasseurs, aided and
abetted by the gendarmes, get away quite
literally with murder and the loss of billions
of euros every day! In fact, if lawless, scrounging
France itself were to be evicted from the EU
for 'misconduct' - and quite rightly so - it
would be an altogether more appropriate and
tempting proposition for Britain to remain.

murdering terrorists. Unlike Little Ingerlandt's

Trump
inflated importance of Saudi arms sales to US
job market, report says. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/nov/20/donald-trump-saudi-arabia-arms-sales-jamal-khashoggi
White House terrorists and war criminals
have always inflated the importance of the US
murder industry - to a handful of corporate
temple moneylenders and amoral, trailer-trash
employees who don't care how much blood is spilt
to finance their latest, ugly, Shite Made In
America SUVs.

Water
cannon bought by Boris Johnson sold for fraction
of cost. https://www.aol.co.uk/news/2018/11/19/water-cannon-bought-by-boris-johnson-sold-for-fraction-of-cost/
These being the water cannon bought from
Germany by American political waster and war
criminal, leading the Brexit Knobhead charge
plus assorted acts of treason against Great
Britain, who receives so much fawning attention
in the country's offshore, fake news media.
(Well - it used to be 'Great' before Johnson

Home-based
businesses lack support. https://esrc.ukri.org/news-events-and-publications/news/news-items/home-based-businesses-lack-policy-support/
Home-based businesses are underestimated and
don't have their needs met by government policy,
according to research carried out by the universities
of Southampton, Middlesex and Glasgow and Delft
University of Technology. According to the research,
business and enterprise policies such as Enterprise
Zones do not benefit home-based businesses,
and different ideas and policies about increasing
economic growth that include home-based business
are required. According to the research 59%
of sole traders and 24% of small businesses
in the UK are home-based.
What
do you know? Despite the personal backing of
British war criminal and ex-leader of the Tory
regime, David Cameron, and much propaganda from
Tory brownshirts, fake gurus and fake statistics
(especially in the run-up to the last elections),
home businesses remain, as they always have
been, 'lacking in support'.

https://www.fwi.co.uk/business/diversification/farms-failing-to-consider-tax-implications-of-diversifying
A significant number of famers are failing to
consider the tax implications of diversifying
their farm business which is leading to higher
levels of tax, according to research by NFU
Mutual. The research has revealed that less
than a third of farmers had considered inheritance
tax reliefs when preparing a diversification
strategy for their business. According to NFU
Mutual, farmers must choose the right structure
for their business when diversifying to ensure
they remain eligible for inheritance tax reliefs.
The research has also indicated that caravan
or camping sites, holiday accommodation and
renewable energy schemes are the most common
types of diversification projects.

Stricter
rules for entrepreneurs' relief. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/changes-to-personal-company-tests-for-entrepreneurs-relief/capital-gains-tax-entrepreneurs-relief-definition-of-a-personal-company
Companies are now required to meet stricter
requirements to qualify for entrepreneurs' relief,
under new measures announced in the 2018 Budget.
In particular, HMRC has introduced two new 'personal
company' tests that a claimant must meet to
be eligible for the relief. To meet the definition
of a 'personal company', a claimant must have
a 5% interest in both the distributable profits
and the net assets of the company. Entrepreneurs'
relief reduces the amount of CGT paid on the
sale of a business, or shares in a personal
company, by offering a reduced 10% tax rate.
The new rules apply from 29 October 2018.

Changes
to IR35 rules announced. Employers should
start preparing for the changes to IR35 rules
announced in the 2018 Budget, industry experts
have warned. Under the new rules, which come
into force in April 2020, medium-sized and large
private sector employers will be responsible
for deciding whether to deduct tax and NI from
contractors, as well as paying employers' NI
contributions. Research by Contractor Calculator
revealed that 98% of contractors will avoid
working on private sector contracts that place
them inside the IR35 rules and predicted that
the private sector will face rising costs, a
shortage of workers and legal challenges to
IR35 status assessments.

Plans

HMRC is set to announce plans to introduce mandatory
tax registration checks for anyone who applies
for certain trading licences. The plans are
expected to be confirmed in the Finance Bill
2019 and will affect applicants for street and
market trading licences, taxi and private hire
driver and operator licences, and massage and
special treatment premises licences. Under the
plans, applicants would need to provide proof
that they are registered with HMRC for tax purposes
before they are granted a licence.
