I can't imagine that even rich dudes wouldn't suffer under that if no company wants to bother sending poo poo to the UK because they don't want to bother with UK tax law even at a mark up.

Wonder if Britain will realize that they're not an empire anymore, and lots of people will just cease to trade with them, the existence of the EU kinda cushioned that particular realization in the past.

UK wants to bring back notable UK enterprises that made them famous! Like Lucas, Rover, Vauxhall, Austin Morris..... ....oh wait, now I remember why they joined the EU in the first place: Because they thought their dog poo poo could compete with European and Japanese markets and they were woefully inept and uninformed about how bad their products were.

Attorneys for the men charged in the death of Ahmaud Arbery don’t want him called a ‘victim’.quote:Another motion asks the court to limit photos of Arbery to just one in the trial, and that he appear by himself. It also requests that a non-related witness identify Arbery in the photograph, instead of a relative, "to avoid creating cumulative prejudicial error in the trial of this case."

Shatner has enough money. He's going to stop selling his poo poo in the UK because of what equates to a tax accountant fee on his end? Does he not profit more than $1000/year from the sales of his trinkets in the UK or do the losses start cutting into his History Channel bullshit show money? I'm not really a fan. Dude always came off as a tremendous douche to me and that's not a reason to celebrate a person.

The Washington Examiner is a lovely right-wing periodical so it makes sense they would run something by Andy NGO. Then you have the Washington Times, which is another lovely right wing newspaper run by the Moonies. Finally, we have the Washington Post, which is the #DemocracyDiesInDarkness #Resist paper that loves centrists and reliably wrings its hands about progressives and their desired policies.

Does he not profit more than $1000/year from the sales of his trinkets in the UK or do the losses start cutting into his History Channel bullshit show money? Almost $1400 once converting from pounds to dollars - and that's just to file the registration paperwork. They then have to pay an additional 20% tax on everything they sell. The UK has levied what is effectively a 20% tariff on virtually all goods that could be imported. A lot of people are going to stop selling to the UK rather than have to go through the additional cost of registering and paying the VAT. It's difficult to pass through a 20% increase to customers and maintain enough business to justify operating.

CRUSTY MINGE posted:poo poo yeah they did. It would end up being 25% to cover the VAT entirely because it's based upon the final sale price. For example, a widget costs $100 pre-VAT. If you just increased that to $120 to offset the 20% tax, you'd pay $24 in VAT ($120*20%) and end up only getting $96 for the widget. To balance that, widget maker will actually have to charge $125 (vat = $25) to get the same $100. A sudden 25% increase in the cost of goods (which is already probably higher because of shipping costs) is going to cause a large dropoff in orders. Dropoffs in sales mean you get less benefit from bulk shipping, etc. There are cascading effects of such large tariffs and they effectively stop the sale of the good because the price is too high compared to domestic alternatives. For a real world example, the chicken tax put a 25% tariff on imported trucks which has basically killed all foreign truck sales in the united states for almost 50 years or so. The chicken tax is why toyota trucks and the like sold in America are made in America. Mr. Nice! fucked around with this message at 17:16 on Jan 3, 2021 |

Yeah, I figured there were larger consequences beyond "just raise the price" but there are effectively products and goods that it's just going to happen with, so in order to break even, every importer will charge more. What does the UK even make anymore?
