Business owners also clobbered with 'blanket punishment' tax

[Coman]

The new dividend tax rate announced in the Budget came to me a surprise from a Conservative government. I understand that there has been some sharp practice with contractors, but this blanket ruling will hurt the independent businesses just as hard.

There is even a petition. I should quickly add that the petition is nothing to do with me. I wonder how long before there is little choice on Lordship Lane but to drink Frapachinos bought with Amazon vouchers found on Google.

It is getting harder to find the tax breaks for local entrepreneurs and businesses. Something tells me the new rulings will not last in their current form.
