United Kingdom

People who live in areas with good schools and low crime rates could be facing huge increases in council tax. Homeowners and tenants can expect to pay four times more than they already do if their locality is deemed more desirable than others, according to The Sunday Telegraph. hmm so yet again the good people of the UK are going to subsidise the scum if you live in a high crime rate area you should pay for the cost of policing, I already pay enough Tax etc why should i have to pay more ?

I've lived in england all my life and I cant believe we are letting our government get away with the stuff they are doing..specifically Council Tax... I understand that they may have to reform how council tax is calculated but I cant decide who's more stupid..them for thinking they can get away with what they are doing or us for letting them.

When did this country become a dictatorship... since when was it ok for someone to come in to your home, that you have spent your hard earned money buying and (some people scraping a living) making comfortable and nice, and they want to come in to your home and decide that they take more money for your hard work... plus the tax that you have already spent buying stuff, tax on your wages etc....I understand if you have added 5 bathrooms and a swimming pool as this may cause more demand on services for your house but most improvements are cosmetic....and now they are rumouring that they will tax us on where we live!?

This government won't be happy till we all live in a crap whole... where is the insentive for the more run down areas, where lets face it people may not be able to afford to spend much money on their houses, especially if there council tax goes up for the privalige... and now it will go up even more if they spend money on the outside of the house.

They complain that people are spending less...but what do they think happens when they take the money from us before we get the chance to buy food and clothes.

What do people think...is it about time the government listen to the people who pays there over infalted wages!

Does anyone know how to escape paying inheritance tax if your parents own a business and you work for them? I know there's a way around it by issuing shares in the company and possibly setting up offshore trusts. Anyone know?????

I am 54 years old . I am an expatriate from the UK for 23 years never living there or working there since 23 August 1984. I now live in Philippines and I am married with Pilipino wife who only has Philippines passport. I have 3 children all with British nationality and British passports. They also have Pilipino passports. I have a girl 6 years old, a girl 4 years old, a boy one month old. I have just been diagnosed with a disease that will cause me to have to give up work due to ill health when I’m probably 60 years old. My mother had to stop working with same disease when she was 60 and my father finally had attendance allowance. I remember my mother and father both worked never unemployed in UK for 30 years but the government still refused for many years to pay them their allowances. So I am going to try and find out what I should do before I accept any job in UK as LTD Company or as Permanent Staff.

I have been paying my Class 2 self employed contributions to pay for my UK pension all the 23 years I have been abroad. These payments are fully paid up to UK Government.


A COMPANY IN UNITED KINGDOM OFFERED ME 50,000 TO JOIN THEM AS ENGINEER IN LONDON WITH STAFF AND PENSION PAID. Or 35 pounds an hour contract to an ltd company.

IS IT BETTER I JOIN THE PEOPLE STAFF OR AS CONTRACTOR. IF YOU ARE CONTRACT IN UK CAN YOU CLAIM FROM GOVERNMENT IF YOU ARE SICK OR NEED ATTENDANCE ALLOWANCES, CAN YOU CLAIM UNEMPLOYMENT BENFITS WHEN YOUR WERE WORKING PREVIOUSLY AS A LTD COMPANY. I HAVE AN UNDETECTABLE ILLNESS THAT WILL HIT ME 5 TO 7 YEARS TIME AND I'M THINKING OF WORKING IN UK AND GOING ONTO BENEFITS WHEN I GET SICK . I HAVE NEVER EVER BEEN UNEMPLOYED AND HAVE NO IDEA HOW I WOULD GO ABOUT FINDING OUT THESE THINGS IE HOW TO FIND OUT WHAT I COULD CLAIM IF I'M SICK IN UK. NOW IVE GOT 3 KIDS SCHOOLING WOULD BE FREE, MEDICAL FREE WOULD THEY PAY CHILDREN ALLOWANCES, RENTAL OR INTEREST ON MORTGAGE.

OR CAN I JUST GO TO UK WHEN I'M SICK IN 7 YEARS TIME AND CLAIM BENEFITS. MY MATE WENT HOME TO UK WITH HIS WIFE AND DIDN'T GET ANY MONEY FOR 2 YEARS HE WAS THERE.

WHERE CAN I FIND OUT SUCH INFORMATION? I REALLY HAVE NO IDEA.
WHAT CAN I CLAIM AND HOW MUCH THE VALUE WOULD BE.

I always thought if you're property was over £285,000 you paid 40% inheritance tax. I have heard now that sum £125,000 holds some significance. I have tried reading it up but do not understand this technical jargon, can someone please let me know what it means. thanks. x

can a business contract in a professional remedial therapist, to treat back pain neck pain or any soft tissue problems, in the office in order to lower the annual sick days taken? People may also have sporting injuries that limit their working ability and these could be addresses inhouse too.

How do rich people manage to find ways of paying less tax? I read that they employ people to find ways of reducing the amount of tax they have to pay and I was wondering what kind of things they do.

not only do you have to suffer the pain and loss of lossing a loved one but then the UK Government (aka robbing B*******S) come along and say 'well if your going to get anymore than £285,000 then we want 40% of anything above!!'.......... just because!

it was 275,000 so they have increased the amount.... but thats only in line with house prices.... watch when they drop, the threshold will to!

just wondering what you folks think
