It's about trust, I think a large chunk of the population have little trust in farmers. They almost claim poverty, but evidence would suggest otherwise. A lack of transparency about a company like this one doesn't help. Come clean and they'll probably get more sympathy with their grievances.

Nope, all companies with Lloyd Baker linked dissolved, except one, while the DoB seems about right, company only formed in 2023.

To be fair they don't look like they sell anything online, phone or in person only, which makes sense I suppose.

True, but that's an expensive tractor he's driving, wouldn't that mean he had to pay VAT on it on not reclaim it? Also, should still have the company number on the website.

No VAT number etc on the website either, I think that's a legal requirement.

The BBC weather app changed recently as well, same thing, it was fine the way it was before! You used to scroll across to get weather later in the day, coming days, now the same thing changes the location!

Also 18% of Iceland's population are foreign born. Worth pointing out too.

So basically little point in contributing more than 2k a year. Way to lose your voter base! Are they trying to get below 10% in the polls?

So potentially another 20% as well? That's going to piss a lot of people off! All because they didn't want to do what they should have and put income tax up a percent or 2!

Currently, any pension contributions go straight out before employer NI. So if this is introduced I'll pay 15% on any contributions above 2k? And what about tax relief, if that changes then I'll also pay extra tax? Sounds great! Think I'll be working part time.

I'm struggling to understand that too. What's really the difference between employer contributions and salary sacrifice? I work through an umbrella company (a legit one, no dodgy stuff!) and am worried any pension contributions will be taxed.

And where employer NI and apprenticeship levy (which I think is unfair for someone effectively self employed!) comes off. Personally I don't think total tax should ever be more than 50%, and with a fair taxation system doesn't need to be.

I'm a tech contractor, working inside IR35. I can work fewer hours to avoid these cliff edges, if salary sacrifice for pension contributions is significantly reduced then I'll work even fewer hours. You have a good idea how it works when you are paid a gross hourly rate....

You know how Germany had a reunification tax, we should have a new 2% Brexit tax.
