[quote][i]Originally posted by Ian[/i] To expand on the grant situation, three people, all self-employed. Guy who has my old workshop, which is for rates purposes is valued at about 4000 I think. So being that is under 15k he gets the grant of 10k in to his bank. This is to pay for premises costs, which when I was there was 200 quid a month for the building an about the same a quarter for the electricity. As you can see 10k must feel like Christmas, that's 37 months of premises paid for. He also won't be alone - there is no lower limit to rates valuations so you could have an RV of even less and still get it. The only exceptions were stuff like if it was a car parking space or a phone mast you wouldn't get it. But if it was a premises such as a small office you were paying a few hundred quid for you'd still be eligible. There will be people paying 150 quid a month for their office who now have 10k in the bank. Then you have the other people. Guy A renting an office off guy H. H rented the floor off J who owned the building. Now H had the whole floor assessed as one unit for rates purposes. So didn't have a premises of his own because all of the offices on that floor were rented by guy A, guy B, guy C etc. Because the floor is the rateable hereditament, Guy H got the 10 grand. Guy A, B, C, etc. got zero despite them having a rates contribution in their rent! When the guy they were paying "rates" to was actually getting 100% discount because his rates bill was under 12k. Obviously guys A, B, C etc. are pissed. Guy H still asking for rent off A, B, C etc. despite receiving the 10k. Guy in a garage rated at 15250, limited company director paying himself in dividends. Zero for the premises, very little PAYE because that figure will have been below his personal allowance. Now I had limited sympathy for this position initially because fuck that guy, he's avoiding tax. Whereas actually some people would do it because they have a basic salary but actually don't know how much they're going to earn. Hence when they have a good month they'll take a dividend. Now none of those good months are covered. Meaning the payment will be far below the 80% that a sole trader will get, even if the take-home was similar as an aggregate amount over the time period in question. Not to mention the other categories although they are mostly because you are too wealthy so I've not really championed those causes :lol: Although they all now have a grievance which I think will manifest itself in higher taxes for those who did OK.
