Clinical Waste

personnaly L4, i dont think u have a clue about wot u are sayin,, i reckon u have a serious chip on ur shoulder towards students and people who are ''well off'',,

i think u are just jealous cos u didn't go to college, have no achievments, are stuck in a ****ty job goin no where and u are just lookin for people to blame cos u fukd up your own life,,

as far as the budget goes,, i cant believe that the minimum wage wasn't increased.. its ****in disgracefull!!

L4 - I've been reading some of your posts on this thread and elsewhere and frankly they seem to fit into a certain mindset. Now being a trinners grad - I've been taught not to be closed minded - and so I was hoping you could answer the following so that I don't start to generalise...

1. Do you now or have you ever owned a white van? [are you in fact an example of 'white van man']

2. Do you feel that Sky News and the Sun offer a rigorous and considered view on world affairs?

3. Do you feel that Richard Littlejohn (of the above) is a wise man who should be listened to more?

4. Have your opinions ever been proved wrong (perhaps by practical experience of actual farmers\non-stereotypical students), and did you accept the alternative viewpoint?

Thanks for putting my mind to rest.

Peace

TROLL to the max.

The minimum wage isn't part of the budget. And it is being increased to €7.00 (some exceptions) on 1st February.

Any ways :rolleyes:

Clinical Waste> the employee PAYE Tax Credit for 2003 is €800.00, so for 2004 all employees are getting a raise in Tax Credit of €240.00 .... wup di do basil :rolleyes:

The most worrying thing for me about this budget is the closing of the loop hole for VAT on sites ... AFAIK, the builders used to transfer the site to the eventual purchaser without VAT, so that the VAT would only be charged on the construction cost of the house ... but Charlie [to be known hereafter as the Horsie Crowd Loving Fcuk Head ] has closed the loophole, so we'll all have to pay even more money for houses :mad: :mad:

Plus, what the fcuk is it with €240.00 increase in Tax Credits ... he might as well give us nothing, because it's fcuking wiped out by inflation!!

& what about the non indexation of the Tax Bands ... pure unadulterated sh!te ... the Irish times is reporting tha 50k more people are going to be pushed into the higher tax band in 2004, due to cost of living rises [in line with inflation] !!

You still got to pay either VAT or stamp duty, not a whole lot of difference.

I thought that stamp duty was 4% on land between €31,750.00 & €63,500.00 and 5% on land between €63,500.00 & €76,200.00, with 6% on land above €76,200.00!!

So even if the site cost was >€76,200.00, the saving over VAT is 7.5% which is a fair whack of money!!
