Eugene's Lair I tend to be torn with movie awards ceremonies: I'm interested in the results, but usually can't be bothered watching the ceremony itself. (Perhaps significantly, I used to watch the ceremonies back in the days when I usually hadn't seen many of the films up for nomination.) I finally managed to see "Trumbo" on Saturday", so of the "big" awards (Best Film, Best Director, and the 4 acting awards) the only BAFTA-nominated films I haven't seen are "The Lobster" (nominated for Outstanding...

For anyone who has to complete tax returns and the new quarterly digital reporting
El LoroEl Loro
El Loro In the example shown above in the Who will report? section it says that interest will not be allowable against rental income. I don't know why that's the case as interest is allowable at present. I think it's to do with the change from April 2017 in the way that interest is claimable by landlords. Over a period of 4 years, the amount of tax relief will be reduced from the landlord's top rate of tax down to the basic rate of 20%. the tax relief will be given as a deduction from their tax bill...

El Loro I think the chances of it rolling out smoothly are less than winning the jackpot on the national lottery 10 times in a row. It will be a thousand times more problematic than RTI which was simple in comparison. [ more ]
Cinds I imagine it will roll out as smoothly as RTI did for PAYE. *HUGE EYE ROLL* [ more ]

Eugene's Lair The breaks are primarily for adverts, CS. It's huge business: apparently a 30 second slot at tonight's game can cost up to $5 million! However because we're seeing it on the BBC they have to fill the slots with something-else... [ more ]

Aimee I've just cancelled some things with Virgin as my bill was nearly £80 a month Daughter bought me a new phone for Christmas with apayg SIM with o2, 4hrs call time, 1000 texts & 500mbps £10 a month, I'm quite happy with that and like Jen said you don't know what's round the corner so no contract is a bonus, it hasn't stopped Virgin ringing me trying to get me to add more packages even though I've just told them I've reduced it cause I couldn't afford it [ more ]
Former Member That's not bad Fluffy [ more ]
Yogi19 I'm with Virgin. It's a SIM only, PAYG rolling contract. £8 a month 1250 free minutes unlimited texts 500mb I mostly text and only make a few calls, and I rarely use my phone for internet. [ more ]

Enthusiastic Contrafibularities Vidal Sassoon hair dryers made by an American conglomerate who bought the VS name to add some cache to their products I wonder how many people buy the dryers because of the name? Nicky Clarke hair dryer that says it contains diamonds, well, they smashed one to pieces and could not find any. [ more ]
Former Member Nae probs Velvet. Sure its basically just Mindfulness, and that's everywhere at the minute. There are just as good materials online, for nothing. Don't mind me, trying to push stuff on you [ In truth, I'm a self help hoarder ...bought a whole hape o' stuff and never looked at it yet ] I'd be better off getting a wee cat or dog only they're not allowed in this building.

BIG companies not paying tax or paying too little tax
Enthusiastic ContrafibularitiesEnthusiastic Contrafibularities
Jen-Star I thought this was interesting, i just tried it and it's true! [ more ]
El Loro There was an article in the Times today about six big companies in the UK who declared no taxable profits in 2014. Shell, BAT and Lloyds. Don't know about Shell or BAT but I can understand why Lloyds wouldn't and that's because of the huge losses they had to provide for PPI claims in recent years. With company tax, a company could have made profits every year for years and paid tax on it. Then one year it makes a huge loss. Not surprisingly it pays no tax that year. It is able to carry back...

Terry Wogan dies (77)

Former Member R.I.P Terry I have to say, how much i respect the family for keeping his illness quiet. Cant have been easy these days. He did wonderful work for Children In Need, i know many who have benefited from it. He not only fronted the yearly show, he did actually visit places where the money had gone and took a great interest. [ more ]
Yogi19 Sad news. R.I.P Terry. [ more ]
Eugene's Lair I think that's what struck me most while watching the tributes to him today - the sheer range of stuff he's been involved in meant that although you may not like everything he did, there was a good chance there was something you would like. For example I never listened to that much radio, and I could take or leave his chat shows. However I loved Blankety Blank, I probably wouldn't even have bothered watching Eurovision in the later years if it hadn't been for Terry, and I admired his work... [ more ]
