Sweep Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 Just now, Mounts Kipper said: I would like to see Pre 2016 export figures compared to where we are today. Indeed, looking at Growth since COVID, will skew it slightly. I know our business initially suffered, but we got around that by closing a UK warehouse, and opening one up in Poland. It's still a bit painful trying to ship some parts, especially anything battery related.....fucking hell that's hideous, compared to what it used to be. There must be some businesses doing well out of it though, as it's definitely not all bad Quote

As soon as your 67 and have residency you get access to Spanish National healthcare. You just need to cover health insurance until you are a pensioner. Quote

As I said earlier, we closed down a UK warehouse, and opened up a new one in Poland (that the Polish Government made very easy and low cost) - we made 12 people in Newbury redundant, but we employed about 40 over in Poland, and it's made our life a lot easier. So, that's actually been a Brexit benefit for us, as a company 🙂 Quote

Cheese Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 The Government have until 4PM today to hand over all Boris Johnson's unredacted Whatsapp messages and diaries to the Covid Enquiry. Probably a good time to have a major BBC scandal that they've known about since May.... Quote

Sunak said they would, so I'd expect they have done so.......unless he wasn't telling the truth of course 🙂 Whilst on about The Conservative Party, Nadine Dorries, who was resigning with immediate effect on 9th June, is still an MP, and it's not just over a year since she last spoke in Parliament (she's earned over £95K in that time as an MP and a minister) Quote

It's not lost a "new opportunity" - it's lost an existing opportunity. For my company, it's made us more profitable and more efficient though, as apparently this place in Poland was falling over itself to welcome us there, with cheap rates etc. If it wasn't for Brexit, I doubt we'd have been looking, but we did and it's benefitted all those who work at our company (other than the warehouse lot who got fucked off) Quote

Tax awareness vital or your worldwide assets can become subject to Spanish tax. We already pay enough (too much IMO) in the other places. Considered residencia at one point. Too costly. Quote
