peanut- posted:I can't find a link to it now but I definitely read a study that showed for any decrease in business rates, 100% of the cost saving ends up being passed on to commercial landlords. Which makes logical sense, rent & rates are combined fixed premises costs and if the tax element falls the other one will raise. Not always. Depends where. In my local high at shops are rented from landlords at fixed rents with regular rises built in (RPI or whatever, different leases different rules). Business rates are entirely a matter for the business. Small retailers were absolutely hammered in the last rating revaluation. For example local chippy went from rateable value < £6000 therefore full rates relief to over £15000 no rates relief. A local burger place would have had to sell 60000 burgers a year just to pay rates + rent before even got to ingredients and staff. Town population 12000. There is no advantage to the landlords in reducing business rates.

Feeling encouraged to post more and lurk less. You all brought this upon yourself. I've been following UKMT for years now, altough I did bounce off the thread during the Milliband years because it seemed just pages of arguing about Zizek from my limited exposure at the time. Over time thread has has helped me crystalize my political leanings from 'uncritcally votes labour (blair was good), gently caress the tories' to 'Full socialism now, purge the hated blarites and wreckers but especially gently caress the tories'. It also opened my eyes reading other peoples experiences with gender and identity itt and I got to say 'I am a homosexual' to my parents for the first time last night and I've never been happier. Feeling positive and optimistic despite everything rn.

It would even cover ridiculous edge cases caused by dogmatic adherence to formulae! "Ability to pay" is where all tax avoidance schemes live... an, ahem, dogmatic adherence to this formula would not be able to distinguish between a going concern with high operating costs and hence no ability to pay, vs a tax shelter vehicle that exists to accumulate capital gains But I don't think that's what you really have in mind, and it's worth pointing out that the intuition leads to strange places. The Soviet Union itself, of course, merely hoped for to-each-according-to-his-contribution; it never dared to aim so high as from-each-according-to-his-ability.

The party who's have proven repeatedly that they are untrustworthy, and who's Tory-esque enabling of austerity actually caused people let down by the system to vote in protest at it, thus causing Brexit? ^ that's an argument I used with a LD friend, they iffed and butted, and eventually changed the topic.
