Alistar Darling is announcing how much vaseline we will need to be buying this year...........

 

Keep us updated mate

 

ive got it on sky news.

 

unsure if i heard that bit correctly, did he just say income tax will drop 2p in the pound?

 

I missed that bit Kelv, went to get a brew

 

Is it mean or does he talk in riddles as to totally baffle peoples heads as to what he said exactly? I am listening to him but not hearing him lol

 

don't feel left out, you can update us as well

 

My sentiments - talking bollocks.

Why can't he list stuff he is increasing and then list stuff that he is leaving alone and then list the very few things that he will lower tax on. Tosser he is

 

the basic rate will drop but the lowest rate is going to be scraped

effectivly making us all pay more income tax

but it's "stealthy" and all cloak and dagger like what the russians used to do in the cold war

i bet he dyes his eyebrows

 

I've got ring sting just thinking about it

 

 

confused as buggery, think ill wait for him to finish then read the full update of whats up and down.

seem to be catching so many different bits of what hes saying and half of it seems to make no sense.

 

I'm just going to check on it later, the bloke winds me right up

 

here we go the owners of old smoking cossies are going to get bent riiiiiight over lol

 

Looks like we're fucked from 2009..................

 

did beer go up?

 

One thing that has juse pissed me off

New cars with low emission - free road tax for first year.

How about the depreciation on the cunting thing - may aswell buy something that pollutes like a crackwhore and enjoy low depreciation

 

Yes - not sure how much tho

Cigarettes went up 11p a pack from tonight

 

Spirits up 55p a bottle
Wine up 14p a bottle
Beer up something similar.......

 

beer up 4p a pint,nothing really,

 

6% rise on beer

 

Showroom tax - WTF

 

Delayed stamp duty untill 80% of property is owned is a good idea aswell

 

You may be excited and jump for joy about that Paul, but when thousands of people give up because its too expensive where do you think the government are going to get their missing money from? Thats right, a tax added onto something else

 

I'm only jumping with joy as it may make my old man think about how much the fucking things cost and actually quit

I know the tax HAS to come from elsewhere Rich, Just waiting to see where

 

So basically.........

*Asking the European Commission for tougher targets on car fuel emissions
*From 2009, major reform of the vehicle excise duty. For new cars from 2010, the lowest polluting cars will pay no road tax in the first year. Higher polluting cars will pay more.
*Cigarettes up 11p a packet.
*Beer up by 4p a pint, wine 14p a bottle, spirits 55p a bottle and cider 3p a litre by Sunday.
*Duties on alcohol will go up by 2% above inflation for next four years.
*Winter fuel allowance will go up from Ł200 to Ł250 for the over 60s and from Ł300 to Ł400 for the over 80s.
*For environmental reasons, fuel duty will rise by 0.5p per litre in real terms in 2010. He said he was postponing the 2p increase in fuel duty until October this year.

 

When will this take effect?? As a friend of mine is just in the process of buying a house

 

Stamp duty of what though the value of the property when firt bought or in 20 years time when 80% is paid off, o and what if you just keep remorgaging lol

 

Stamp duty only applies to shared ownership properties

 

i thought you payed stamp duty on a purchase of a house bougth over a certain amount?

 

You do.

The "delayed" stamp duty is to allow first time buyers to purchase with less initial capital outlay.

e.g. - if you buy a 200k house on shared ownership or other incentive scheme, then the stamp duty is delayed, rather than paying the Ł2000 prior to purchase.

 

profesional coutersy stops me taking the piss out of you mate, but if you believe that you believe that gorden brown is a better prime minister than tony b liar

you buy a house aver a certain vaule and you HAVE to pay a certain % of it in stamp duty

which is basicly the governments way of giving them a who lump of cash for doing fuck all

 

they'll save money on treating smokers on nhs tho

(eventually)

 

Taking all smoking related illnesses and treatments into account, the tax on cigarettes far far outweighs the cost to nhs.
People don't like that fact though.
Smokers should go to front of the queue, put a lot more in financially.

 

Where's my violin

 

To shove up your arse?
Sorry for pointing out the way it is

I'd love it if everyone quit smoking, all these banging on about the drain on the nhs, soon find out what the score really is.
Although would no doubt end up a lot worse off as the massive loss of revenue from tobacco would have to be found from all, not just smokers.

 

get yourfags on the blackmarket plenty of people selling them, and then a big to our taxman

 

Rest assured, he won't get the choice of using vaseline if I meet him...

 

Don't happen to smoke do you mate?

 

Nah I don't smoke mate.
