The biggest tax which affects business's is fuel tax. It drives up the general cost of everything including electricity to light the business, the cost of delivering and receiving stock, and even the cost of the dinner time sandwich.

Re: UK unemployment increases to 2.62m
 

Totally agree.

However, if these taxes aren't collected, difficult to support what the Government spend (as Governments have no actual money, just that which they collect in taxes).

Re: UK unemployment increases to 2.62m
 

I understand that, but we should cut fuel tax first, instead of anything else including corporation tax and income tax.

Re: UK unemployment increases to 2.62m
 

Yes paying out for fuel is becoming a financial noose round households and businesses neck at the present time and its likely to get worse then get better.

Re: UK unemployment increases to 2.62m
 

Wow - "a financial noose"!

Sure it isn't a "gullotine cutting of the life-blood of families", or "a plague decimating our countries spirit".

Do you have a "Daily Mail/Express Handy Headlines For All Occasions*" booklet? - it seems that way....:D



*never use a rational phrase that may inspire reasoned discussion when you can use a rabble-rousing emotive one that will get peoples' danders up.....;)

Re: UK unemployment increases to 2.62m
 

Perhaps a bit over the top but in our family and l suspect many others fuel and energy bills have reduced our disposable income significantly and even you will admit its going to get worse before it gets better and as for a handbook perhaps you can suggest something.:D


And l do like your signature below and l wonder who does that remind me of.;)

Re: UK unemployment increases to 2.62m
 

Yes, it will get worse before it gets better - that would be that world-wide recession thingy......

As for the handbook - read what you write, and if you think "that reads like something from a Daily Mail / Express / Metro headline", re-write it...;)

Re: UK unemployment increases to 2.62m
 

l do not take many headlines from the above mentioned as l am a Guardian / BBC man myself and remember most media and news organisations all have a particular bias one way or another towards a headline or story to suit their political whims of the day.

Re: UK unemployment increases to 2.62m
 

I think it is now time for this Government to resign and we should have a new election in 2012 or 2013

or

we need to start some big infrastucture projects, increase taxes (for the rich most of all) and launch a state owned development bank for small, medium and large business based in britain

Re: UK unemployment increases to 2.62m
 

The government doesn't have a clue on how to solve it, and slightly changed of subject, it been said that if NHS hospital don't do the 18 week waiting list the hospitals will get fined.

The NHS is having problems as well, and yet the government will fine them.

The government are always talking about what we can do to help the unemployed, but even hospitals are cutting back on staff.

Why do we have this trouble when there is Tory government, riots, unemployment going up, The puppets have one rule for the rich and one for the poor.

I found this atricle from the Guardian interesting this morning. Apparently the young employed are now required to work voluntarily to get jobseekers allowance. I wonder why the policy is not for all unemployed people regardless of age.

Re: UK unemployment increases to 2.62m
 

Because the Tories are a butch of rich losers :D

Re: UK unemployment increases to 2.62m
 

Are we sure Alan and Arthur are different people?

Re: UK unemployment increases to 2.62m
 

So they are "losers" with lots of money?

Interesting concept......;)

Re: UK unemployment increases to 2.62m
 

they are rich, but they are also idots
