MancWanderer Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Someone round here had their newly installed fence panels stolen the other day. Composite ones. Apparently they cost a fortune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve nothing else to base the amount on. Unless you’re fiddling furlough. In that case you’re not a one man band. And have staff who are on PAYE. Its pretty much one or the other. Is it ok to spend furlough money on mercs and speedboats by the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caused real resentment in our place where site staff we had to furlough due to distancing measures went and did cash in hand work on top of furlough pay. Mate who has a motorcycle repair garage and spares shop claimed 2 x 10K grants despite garage staying open throughout under premise of MOTs and 90% of shop trade being online. Sorry for being bitter about all of this but you may recall me telling how I took 10% payout to subsidise furlough payments and then had staff take most of December off with holiday they hadn't used while on furlough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was alluding to this has all been a free for all for businesses rather than self employed folk. If you didn’t pay tax on last few years, you got nothing. Which is fair enough. It’s the grants and furlough shaggers that have been the pigs in shit. HMRC are going to go after people big style when all this is done. If you’ve claimed a grant and still made money, you’ll be fucked. They’ll want as much back as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted March 20, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted March 20, 2021 Mentioned it previously HMRC have already set up teams tasked with rooting out the pisstakers. They are confident of clawing back of great deal of money. This isn’t some long established fiddle that accountants have spent years working through loopholes etc.. This is new and there will be people who’ve knowingly took the piss and will be held to account. We all know the certainties in life. Death and taxes. All I would say is that if you sent as much as a single email whilst on furlough, you’d better make sure you’ve deleted any evidence from not just your laptops but also your company & remote servers. HMRC can access those by law and will be doing so. If you furloughed 20 people and 1 of them is found to have done any work, they’ll get all the money back for everyone you claimed for plus a fine plus interest. I guarantee that by the end of 2022 the courts are full of failed appeals and folk complaining. Theyre already targeting companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underpants Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I am utterly shit at DIY. Having said that I will have a go at most things. Swapped some bathroom taps out the other day. I was chuffed with myself. Not a fan of going up ladders outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
