Regulars may recall me cunting HM Revenue & Customs recently, for describing their purpose of screwing tax out of us as providing us with a ‘service’. Gee thanks.
Well today I’m pissed off on a related theme, namely, Value Added Tax (VAT). Our roof needs some repair and maintenance work done, and the likely cost is the thick end of £4k if the first estimate is anything to go by.
Now that’s bad news in its own right, but what makes my blood boil is the fact that on top of this, I’ve got to fork out an additional 20% in tax, ie about another £770. That’s right; £770 to the fucking government simply for the ‘privilege’ of keeping a secure roof over our heads.
‘I’ll tax the street, if you try to sit I’ll tax your seat
If you get too cold I’ll tax the heat
If you take a walk I’ll tax your feet
Cos I’m the taxman, and you’re working for no-one but me’
The Beatles, ‘Taxman’
Great tune Ron and very true C.A.
I think we’ll just pop over to France and get on board a rubber dingy back, then the government will provide a roof over our heads for us, plus all the other things we’ll need to live into the bargain. No fucking worries.
I’m just surprised they haven’t brought a salt tax or window tax back yet. How about a tax on shagging or breathing? A couple of nice little earners there, you’d think.
Born free, taxed to death.
Nominated by Ron Knee.
From a company owner’s point of view IVA (VAT in the UK) is fucking daylight robbery.
The government takes 21% of my turnover.
This comes straight out of the company income with no thought of if a company remains profitable.
The penalty for evading this tax is up to 5 years in the slammer and huge fines.
So 21% of my turnover.
Another 20% of my profits, not based on the profits for the previous year but the projected profits for the year still to come.
That is paid quarterly too.
Then for the honour of being self employed I have to pay almost 500 euros per month in ‘autónomo’ contribution.
This covers my pension and health care.
Licences to trade last only a few years before they have to be renewed at additional cost.
Fucking bandits!
14
And last month I brought a new company van.
To claim back only half of the IVA (that’s all that the cunts will give you) I have to prove that it is exclusively used for the company and never for personal use.
It’s sign written with the company logo, but that isn’t good enough.
I asked my accountant how I could prove that it is only for company use and he told me that you can’t.
So that was another 4 grand they have had off me.
9
And don’t forget – you have to pay your quarterly VAT even on invoices to clients that you may have issued by may not necessarily have been paid. You are therefore bankrolling the government out of your own pot.

I bought my eighteenth century cottage in 2009 lived in it for 11 years and rented it out when Lady G and myself moved to Cornwall.
Whilst I lived n it I spent a small fortune on it but have now decided to sell the place. Apparently, HMRC want to charge me 18 % capital gains tax whilst it was rented out on the difference between want I paid for it in 2009 and what it sells for. I intend to get a good accountant to drive the tax bill down to sweet fuck all.
I object to this bunch of cunts screwing decent people whilst showering the great unwashed, illegal migrants and themselves with the fruits of the money tree.

Today’s an appropriate day to publish this nomination, as the complaints girl has just increased:
Employer’s NI
Road Tax
TV Tax
Stamp Duty
Plastic Tax
Alcohol duty (in February)
and no doubt a few others I can’t remember off hand.
Added to that there are increases today in
Council Tax
Water rates
Gas and electricity
Broadband
Minimum wage (ultimately paid for by the consumer, of course).
So enjoy getting fucked up the arse, everyone.
Those 4 star hotels for the invading army won’t pay for themselves you know.

I’ve just read Guzziguy’s post, which has reminded me we can add Capital Gains Tax to the list above.

The only mitigation (for some employers) is that the NI relief is going up from £5k to £10.5k, so smaller businesses with fewer employees may no be affected or may even pay less.

If you want good public services and a gold standard NHS you have to pay for it, don’t laugh, the cunts in charge tell us that with a straight face.
I just heard deputy PM no knickers say that we are better off and energy prices will come down with more renewables (she knows that because Ed told her), what a dumb ass.
How about scrapping VAT on energy and then go one better scrap the net zero nonsense
17
Erm, yeah. About that renewables bollocks.
Crazy Ed and his net zero insanity bullshit have shut down any new north sea oil and gas licenses.
This has directly cost the UK economy £150 billion and upped everyone’s energy bills by £900 per year..
Apart from the dinghy filth and MPs of course. We get to pay their energy bills too.
Revolution anyone?

The taxman is only a useful scapegoat.
It’s not him who sits in Whitehall luxury and does fuck all about the dinghies, not him who puts up grinning feckless parasites in hotels whilst condemning them to the status of infested and uninhabitable shit holes for all time, not him who gives billions in benefits to fraudulent ADHD cunts when a good working over would permanently sort out the lazy cunts, not him who gives Motability cars to scrounging fuckers who drive to a hypermarket and then walk three miles around the place every day and it’s not him who gives billions in foreign aid to cunts who despise us. It’s the fuckers whose pampered arses besmirch green leather benches in a heavily subsidised palace who are responsible. They only care about filling in expense forms and make a balls up of that.
13
How odd that despite leaving the EU nearly a decade ago the cunts in London never removed the EU mandated 5% VAT on domestic gas and electricity,which of course they promised they would do during the “Brexit” campaign.
Another sack of shit for the cesspit of British politics.

John Lennon hated taxes.
Taxes , haircuts, getting shot and spending time with his kids.
I’m with him on taxes ( an getting shot).
The cunts will squeeze you till your dry.
The patriot in me says a cut of my hard earned money should contribute to the benefit of society
Bin collections, roads paved, etc
The gyppo in me says fuck them.
They give it all to immigrants!
Bins hardly ever emptied,
Roads like downtown Mogadishu.
It’s a right racket👎
We should all refuse to pay taxes till they deport those hotel fuckers.

Downtown Birmingham, the place is such a shithole its taken 3 weeks before the council noticed the piles of rubbish in the streets.

What gets my goat is the way that 4 eyed fucker Starmer lies about Labour being good for business, like the lies about our energy bills being lower, and they are deporting more illegal immigrants, it is the meanderings of a compulsive liar and he should be loudly told to shut the fuck up. Better still Diane Abbott should sit on his face immediately after an especially malodorous bowel movement and finish him off. What a way to go!

MNCs scenario has given me an idea for a new Boggs Pornographic Film Productions (Taiwan) Limited project – The Return Of The Killer Buttocks”. Diane takes revenge on the right wing Labour fuckers by subjecting them to torture before killing them: Pat McFadden practising lying in his coffin gets sat upon by Diane and a massive fart does for him. Elsewhere, confirmed bachelor Chris Bryant is brass rubbing (they can’t prosecute you for it) in the crypt when Diane creeps into the crypt for a crap, and does it on the reverends face – he expires ,
aphyixiated , meanwhile Streeting is strapped to an operating table and the great gaping arse comes close to his nostrils and he expires from a heart attack, a grin of horror on his face. Meanwhile, in Washington (it is an international thriller of course), Mandy enters a cubicle in a public washroom for a bit of hows-your-father, when the great Diane pushes him into the pan and she does a dump on him – killed in a couple of minutes. Finally mad scientist Ed Miliband wants her droppings to power one of his green energy plants – he feeds her sulphur tablets, cascara and Brussel sprouts, she locks him in the control room and lets out a barrage of farts which overpower him and he falls 600 feet to his death.
It will make a great follow up to my new version of Frenzy.

Property tax really pisses me off. Follow my logic here….
If you own your property outright, why would you keep paying tax on something you actually own?
If the property tax liability is based upon property ownership and you still have a mortgage, why isn’t the mortgage company liable for a % of the property tax since they still own a % of the property?
Same logic applies to home insurance. If you still have a mortgage, then you must carry home insurance because a third party (the mortgage company) still as a financial interest in the property. Fine. Then why isn’t the mortgage company also partly responsible for the home insurance premium? You’re effectively paying out of your own pocket their % of the premium which protects their financial interest. How is that legal?
Back to property tax. If the property tax is not based upon ownership per se (it is), but rather the consumption of services at that property, then the argument would be the mortgage company doesn’t consume or benefit from those services, so shouldn’t pay for them. Fine. But then why is the home owner forced to pay for services they also don’t consume? For example, a large % of the property tax goes to the local school district. I wasn’t educated in the US, have no children and won’t ever have either. So why I am forced to subsidise the education of other people’s fucking bastard scumbag leeching kids? Same for local libraries and parks. I don’t use or benefit from those either. Police, fire service, street lighting, road projects, etc. all fine. I get it. But all the other things I don’t want or need, I should not have to pay for, but am still forced to. How is that legal?
Things may have changed in the UK since I lived there, but the UK equivalent is council tax. That used to be based upon 2 people living in a single dwelling. Fine. I always lived alone in the UK, but the ‘discount’ for single occupancy was only 25%. Why wasn’t it 50%?
Scams are everywhere and all designed to keep people down, poorer and subservient to the authorities. No wonder alcohol was invented – and they tax that too!

I’ve gone past the point when I want to elect a better government, I just want to see the government torn down. Bunch of cunts in a power trip.
Anarchy in the UK.

You can’t trust a politician.
It’s their basic nature to be corrupt, self serving , lying cunts.

He’ll be ordering a bespoke duck house for his moat as I type.

Indeed MNC. What wouldn’t you give for a genuine far-right, nationalist party in any European or Western country.
It’s just different grifters pandering to a different part of the voting base to extract the maximum gain for themselves. You’d have to be a retard to buy into it body and soul, tripe and bowels but Lord knows they are out there.
Le Pen was one of the more promising sounding but she’s probably just another Putin-sympathising stooge like Farage and the Orange Messiah.
I almost despise them more for leading the flock astray; at least the Starmers of this world wear their cuntitude on their sleeves.

I see that Marine Le Pen’s been found guilty of a financial fiddle, and prevented for running for president in 2027.
An establishment stitch up is being alleged.

Wouldn’t surprise me at all if she was guilty, being a politician and all, but I’d wager no more than her opponents across the aisle.

A good example being Christine Lagarde.
Found guilty of (ahem) negligence is a major fraud case and now the head of the European central bank.
A bit like Tony ‘Satan’s envoy on earth’ Blair being made EU middle east peace envoy.
Depends what side of the aisle you sit on I suppose.

Lawfare.
That’s what they call it.
Getting rid of a political rival by manufactturng charges against them and imprisoning them.
It’s all the rage at the moment.
Dunno if Le Pen was filling her handbag with francs,
But if so shed not be on her own.
When all around you are going a bit Viv Nicol’s, it’d be hard to resist getting some of the action.
Greed is a human trait.

The EU are terrified of her.

I think we have that pederast Heath to blame for VAT, back in 1973 when we entered the then EEC. It replaced purchase tax I believe.
It was a shock.

Don’t see the fucking point of working anymore in a job of any responsibility.
I don’t let it bother me usually but my bonus got fucking decimated recently.
Yea, a performance based bonus for exceeding target, meaning more TAX on more revenue and the reward, an extra fucking TAX on my bottom line.
If the minimum wage hits £30k in the next 4 years I’m fucking this job off. Or unless they put the higher TAX bracket up, which they won’t.
Taxed at nett, taxed at buying shit. Taxed at selling 2nd hand goods which have already had tax paid on them multiple times. (or under investigation if you are selling the odd item) Taxed when you die on shit you been taxed on already etc etc.
That and because I drive a diesel I’m subsidising petrol and electric drivers…Communist fuckers.
I’m quite glad more and more working population aren’t having children. This country deserves to get a dick firmly shoved up itta arsehole for a change, and we all know it’s going to be Leroys, so I can’t wait to see it happen. It might be MAD, but I’m going to get fucked anyway so might as well see them bell ends take the punishment they like to hand out.
There was a comment earlier on, but it wasn’t a joke. It’s coming, as sure as night follows day: water and air will be taxed.

Indeed, ECO.
History tells us that once upon a time there was such a thing as a window tax. No joke:
https://historyandmystery.org/interesting-history/the-window-tax-when-england-taxed-sunlight/
They’ll tax anything they think they can get away with. Plain and simple. We know all politicians lie, but the present Labour crew have set a new benchmark in lies and deception. If they’d told the country up front what they were going to do, they wouldn’t have got the vote share they did – such as it was.
Earlier on I moaned about property tax. Let me add to that farce. The amount of property tax you’re forced to pay is based upon the assessed value of your property (i.e. the physical structure and the land it sits on). You work hard, save up some money and have your kitchen remodelled. A nice reward and upgrade you can enjoy everyday because you put in some graft. But wait! An updated kitchen means the assessed value of your home goes up and……wait for it…..your property taxes go up as a result. So you’re effectively punished for trying to do better and improve your standard of living. It is fucking insane.

It’s the same with boilers. I would like to replace my 20 year old standard efficient boiler (78%) with a new a-rated boiler (96%) saving energy. A new Worcester Bosch 8000 35kW is £3500 installed with all the fittings (flue, timer, filter, changes to pipework). It would be £2916 ex vat. It’s not a luxury item, it is to stop us from freezing to death. I want to do the right thing and reduce gas consumption yet twats get £7000 to install a heat pump that won’t work on a 100+ year old house.
VAT was originally 15%, 17.5% was a “temporary measure” and now it is 20% with no signs of ever returning to 15%. A disgrace.
