I think most are probably great people who start it for the love of the job, you don't do 4 years at uni, get in 30k of debt to go do a 25k a year job.
12 hour shifts, not being able to park in car park and having to get park and ride, dealing with rude c**ts. My best mates Mrs is a nurse, nicest person you'll ever meet, hour commute each way, then park and ride, 15 hour nights for 23k a year. She loves it, but in 20 years will she?

I am the same as you unsure and not fully informed but the reality is some people can work and need to ! Super market staff are mixing with the public as safe as possible ! If the virus is so bad we are all doomed but in the mean time people have family’s and the governments money will run out it’s a virus we will all get

I don't understand why you would go back if you are getting £2K plus per month? Are people that f**king greedy? This is a perfect opportunity to spend time with family, take up a hobby etc.

Who’s getting 2k a month in the trade ? Have you got any money yet ?

As far as I'm aware no one gets that money until June, but the June date isn't set in stone so it may take longer. It's also worth noting that the vast majority of trades won't get anything near the maximum £2,500 pcm because of the way they get paid which is as little as possible to avoid tax.

I believe the only payouts available now, or around now, are:-

the grants for businesses with premises. (This is the only 'free' money in the scheme).
you can apply for universal credit.
you (or a business) can apply for a loan.

They all have set criteria for who's eligible.

That grant thing for buisness Is a right shite,we are a ltd company but got no lockup or premises as dont need as got office room and garages etc.every ltd company should of got £10k.pisses me right off,not every1 needs a lockup or premisses
 
Funny thing is some lads will get basic pay out because what there claim,well majority and your tax is guna shoot up like f**k to be in line with employment tax,there will be laughing there tits off will hmrc
 
Some websites say that you have to have lost profits....so if you are still working it could be a double hit.

Best to do what the government says...stay home...protect the NHS (y)

LTD companies seem to have been treated unfairly.
 
Ltd companys,directors..its a shambles.if you've got foresight to set up a legitimate ltd company which comes with more paperwork and insurances etc you should get treated like everyone else,there know directors take small salaries and then top up with dividens,then to not take dividens into account is a absoloute joke

So you want to take dividends to save on tax year in year out and then want to be treated the same as a normal self-employed person when there are handouts going? Fucksake.

If you look at the money that's being made available, how much and to who, it becomes clear that they're giving the most to those who pay most tax compared to other similar companies. Or to put it another way, they're 'giving' it to companies who will eventually pay it all back and more.

That's the thing, operating a Ltd co to pay minimum tax, and using your garage as a store with an office in your house means you're saving tax money. Aside from running a business from home which is against the terms of your mortgage and home insurance, that's fine but you've already had your handout in tax breaks.

I'd imagine most people take the advice of their accountant. The tax advantages only come into play once you start earning above a certain amount, have business assets, need protection from potential claims etc.

From what Rishi Sunak has said I think those trading as a Ltd Co who are basically sole traders will find that the tax advantages are disappearing sooner rather than later. It's a long established loop hole that has been over used so it sounds like it's coming to an end.

That's the point, a lot of Ltd companys are just self employed people using a loop hole and calling themselves a business. That will come to an end either in the 2022 or 2024 budget. I'm quite happy to put money on it.
