I've just seen that the number of deaths has risen by over 100 today (total 578)! For me that seems like a massive jump. I'm using the Johns Hopkins figures to follow trends. Are other people following other sites? coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.htmlMisleading figure. They only recorded 8 hours yesterday

Lockdown day 12 done here in Lanzarote, minimum 18 to go, its tough lads. The UK needs to wake up quick, it will be interesting to see peoples attitudes on here in 10 days time, once the novelty has worn off... Strap in Stokies, we are in for the long haul. The weather definitely helps. Next week will be harder. Yes it does mate, and we do have outside space, pool to pass the time. I just think the attitude of all back home is around 10 days behind us and I see it on this message board. I was the same a couple of weeks ago but everything has changed now!! Stay safe.

That applies once your profits hit a certain level as there is a small NI saving but if your income is not much more than your personal allowance its better to take it as salary. Fair play

Thanks for the advice. She does have an accountant but he’s getting on a bit and not the best. She didn’t go down the salary route because work and hence turnover is very sparodic and the money taken is only really used for our treats - like holidays etc. That wouldn't have prevented her going via salary, I have done accounts for similar businesses who take out money as and when all you need to do is take it as a director loan then before the end of the tax year or once you get to £10k declare it as salary and you pay no tax provided her income is under her personal allowance.

They only recorded 8 hours yesterday I wondered why there was no great gnashing of teeth and wailing when they announced it on the news. I assume it's 139 over 2 days then? So averaging at 70. Not great but not yet Italy proportions.

This I should add its not a tax fiddle either some people have sporadic income so have no idea on how much they will earn in a year so cant take out £200 a week or whatever as they could £2k 1 month nothing the next £500 the month after etc etc. So at the end of the year they work out their profit and then how much they can pay themselves as salary.

Tax avoidance/mitigation/minimization = legal Tax evasion = illegal The scenario above is most definitely minimization and perfectly acceptable.

Good lads, I'm glad that you have.
Was a bit sad to see no one on my street doing it, considering as well the street I'm on actually has people who are cared for! Still, I clapped anyway, even if I was on my own, they deserve our support.

I asked my mate that, he's been told all UK production to cease across all sites with immediate effect. Think Dyson must have stepped in instead fella..... It's a bit of a worry though, if it's turned out that that these companies aren't actually capable of manufacturing them. I'd love to know WHY JCB are now not going to manufacture them. Dyson designing and can also build it in huge numbers. Better expertise than JCB perhaps?

Somebody around here was doing fireworks for the nurses, which kind of drowned any clapping out!

I hope those on the front line get to see the best of the images and know how much we appreciate them!

Can see me pressuring her into sorting this situation out for the future. It's currently one of those - "can't be bothered" situations with her.

Still, I clapped anyway, even if I was on my own, they deserve our support. Quite alot did on our street... Was nice to see! I video called my mum who is a nurse and she was in the nurses station waiting for her shift to start all the other nurses etc and they were well chuffed. My mate just posted this on our group chat Omg the funniest thing just happened the whole street was out clapping and a gay couple across the road pulled up, got out the car and said what you clapping at us for 😂😂😂

I’ve been trying to work out how my better half goes on. She has her own limited company working from home and doesn’t employ anyone. She gets her salary as drawings and only upto about £12k per year. All her work has dried up but doesn’t seem to be any financial help for her or others in the same boat unless anyone knows otherwise You can’t take “drawings” from a limited company Either: She takes a salary or directors fees both subject to paye She takes a dividend from the company as a shareholder and this is taxed through self assessment She takes a loan from the company and this is subject to BIK and should be declared through self assessment
