https://www.gov.uk/government/publi...-1-january-2021 Hey anyone mentioned this piece of poo poo yet? No other country in the world does it and basically means small companies selling into the U.K. are going to be hit with multiple thousand pound bills just for doing business here. Several small companies have already said online “were selling worldwide! excluding U.K.” because of how ridiculous it is. TLDR: they’re expecting and demanding any company that sells stuff into the U.K. that it will register as a British company and file tax returns for vat as if it was a British company, even if they actually don’t do anything in the U.K. Anyone who still thinks the tories are the party of business are delusional.

Just heard the man on the telly speaking on behalf of the prime minister say "there is a risk of an escaped mutant". Its like one of those low budget horror movies where they use real bbc people talking on a telly in the background to make things seem more crazy realistic.

Its been mentioned, bike saddles as an example, and pointed out that Captain Kirk told us about this months ago (that tweet is from October) but then everyone lost interest and started talking about how much of a prick shatner was and how Sisko was much better.

stev posted:Oh he's saying they're going to 'look at' wasted uni accommodation costs. Which they didn't do anything about during the last two lockdowns. I'm sure that'll go really far. You know why they kept all that uni accommodation open - because for the past few years, my email inbox has been flooded with 'opportunities' to buy 'units' in student accommodation blocks with guaranteed returns for at least 3 years of about 6-7%. And in some cases Guaranteed buy back of your unit should you want to sell. Obviously these property companies are losing money hand over fist if students aren't living there. Wouldn't like to take a guess at how many tory mps and ministers are connected with these companies.

I'm not sure in itself it's a bad idea just badly implemented. You don't want businesses like Netflix or Amazon AWS to be able to always undercut British businesses by 20%. It needs sensible implementations like minimum volumes and/or easy ways for smaller companies to co-operate.

Isn't this a tax on businesses operating in the UK but headquartered elsewhere? It smells an awful like a step in the right direction to me. I assume I'm misunderstanding the implications...

Critical Role's UK shop has had the opposite problem - they registered it as a UK outpost so they could easily deliver to EU countries, but now they've had to stop delivering to https://shop.critrole.co.uk/pages/faq Wouldn't be surprised if they relocated to Ireland and stopped shipping to the UK.

Was there no pre-warning on this change? Because this is going to cause massive economic disruptions that will materially affect people's ability to get supplies and keep their job during already strained financial times.

My missus works in a wholesaler who thought they would be able to export to EU with the 'deal', turns out that as they import stuff for export, it's not covered, so they have to pay tariffs. So all EU orders have cancelled since this morning.

Yes, there was plenty of pre-warning, but it was an EU idea, and as we've decided to leave the EU but keep implementing all of their lovely ideas I guess this is happening but just for the UK now. Guess that's a good business opportunity for a Parcel Motel type thing but on the other side of the border oh no wait border's in the sea now. Also VAT is a lovely regressive tax.

The biggest issue with corporate agile adoption is that the most important success factor for it is to empower workers and let them do the job in a way that they deem most appropriate, with a lot of support but with minimal oversight. Since this goes against the power structures in most major companies, what actually happens is an attempt to cargo cult their way into success by forcing workers to do Scrum ceremonies with no understanding of what they are meant to be for. This isn't unique to agile, and really is just a part of a 100 year management theory back and forth between "empowered and motivated workers increase productivity" and "but then how do I oppress the workers and prevent them from organising". The only thing that really depresses me about it is when I hear workers blaming the (pretty sound, very pro-worker, arguably anarchist) ideas rather than their lovely corporate culture.

Nah it's all on the money they made available as loans to Universities for student accommodation a few years back - they don't have to repay as long 1 out of every 2 years they show they're not losing money. Guess which year it was for loads of Unis in 2020? So the none...Russell group is it? ones went to the Government and said 'shore us up with £40 million and we can see it through' and they predictably told them to do one. Hence them still charging for the student shitshow the last 10 months. (source, a friend who works at a big London Uni, literally this morning, although he'd told me this before) I think someone said it here, there's nothing pro-active with any of these despicable fuckers, it's always reactive, and always to the point of being too late and costing far more money than it would've if any of them listened or weren't so concerned with their own interests. Who eats that cost? We do, as taxpayers. gently caress them all.

I assume I'm misunderstanding the implications... The tax is already collected, it’s just collected at the border by HMRC who then get that from the courier which then passes it onto you. It’s why you’ll occasionally get a bill from fedex or have to pay tax at the post office to pick up a parcel. The U.K. government is demanding that companies to register and pay the vat directly, and actually pay for the privilege of doing so, as well as having to fill in a bunch of forms, and register and suchlike.

Bobby Deluxe posted:A good motivator I read about was reframing the question from 'I should do the thing' to 'when am I going to do the thing.' It feels more resolved. There's weird rules that stop a lot of self employed people claiming anything other than the one off loan. Claiming dividends I think was a common one.

∆∆∆ will it not be that they need a certificate of a negative test not earlier than 48 hours or whatever before travel? I think it's actually only for international foreign arrivals too? As in not for ex pats or returning British holiday makers.

They need to just bite the bullet and adopt the NZ model where no one gets in and those that have to get in are forced to isolate (rather than just asked to). They won't do it but until they do we'll just continually import and export new varients until we're all dead.
