Cheaper beer as well!!!

 

:lol: I thought of you when he smarmed that one out. Talk about low-hanging fruit.

 

The irresponsible support for another house price bubble is exactly what they crucified Gordon Brown for.

Tax threshold raised to 10k. Good.

New employer allowance is also a good idea. 2k N.I. let off for everyone employed.

 

 

The Mittlestand (small to middlegroup employers in germany gets loads of these kinds of breaks).

 

Would have taken pensioners off council tax....

Massive news for people wanting to buy homes!

 

Good stuff by the sounds of it.

 

Doubt I'll be able to buy a home despite the fact they've finally unfrozen my wages and are handing me a silver plate with 1% on it!

 

Nurses feel REALLY valued getting 1% pay rise since 2010. Must run out and buy food for my child!

I've always believed there should be institutional help for nurses wether it's tax credits or loyalty bonuses for staying in the NHS. Vote Parky!

Public Sector only gets a 1% pay rise but they aren't going to raise taxes on beer?

 

Genius

'Right lads, it's either the beer thing or making public service wages rise with inflation. One or the other, they are definitely linked.'

I get a Working tax credit for being a single mother and having to pay nursery fees (so that I can go to work) I get £8 per week. It costs me £30 per day for his nursery fees.

Nurseries should be free in a country that is the 5th richest in the world. The nhs is a working environment that large I'm sure it should have its own nurseries for all workers in need of one. Not sure but still think it's free in France.

 

It's a universal right in Austria. Free childcare. The worked out the Govt would get more tax from women working etc...Than it would cost to fund it..

Good to see corporation tax being cut. They're having a hell of a time.

 

Silly government trying to recruit big business to the UK. tut tut!

 

Corporation tax falls almost entirely on workers’ wages: a recent study of European countries by economists at the Universities of Warwick and Oxford found that, in the long run, 92% of any rise in corporation tax falls on wages, not profits.

 

In Ireland, corporation tax receipts more than doubled after it cut corporation taxes from 40% to 12.5%, thanks to big increases in foreign direct investment by multinational corporations. Ireland still has the lowest corporation tax rate in Western Europe, and even in its recession has attracted big name firms like Google, Amazon and Twitter to headquarter there instead of London. Ireland is making the strongest comeback from its recession of any Eurozone country, thanks largely to its business-friendly tax regime.

We do have a nursery at work (ran by the local council) but it caters for the 9-5'ers. I think it shuts at 6pm and our dayshifts finish at 8pm. It's exclusively for hospital staff but effectively it's a private nursery with the fees that go with that.
