The effect for the shareholder is an acceleration and absolute increase in their tax burden. You've made that up to the extent that I'm fairly sure you've invented words. |

Be careful for wishing for a vaguely fair and level playing field, where the big boys have to pay the same rates as tax as the minnows? Doesn't strike me as too much of a Utopian dream, nor too much to wish for, but hey, what do I know. |

But you probably don’t take more than £150k a year and leave the rest in, so max 32.5% on that lot. I recall you saying you can’t sell the business so come retirement you’ll liquidate and get the rest out at CGT of 20% (maybe even 10%). That’s a marginal tax rate of 35% on that balance, lower if you get Entrepreneurs relief (but that building cash balance will jeopardise that as your accountant has warned you). Sub parte F equivalent if CT was scrapped would be 47% tax on every penny of profits, extracted or not, every year. |

David Davis is now conceding Parliament will get a vote on the final Brexit deal, but if it votes no we'll leave the EU with no deal. It'll be a clever move if he gets away with it. Parliament won't be able to say no to even a ropey deal if the alternative is grounded flights and cancelled chemotherapy. So whatever ropey deal he can assemble can be forever stamped with Parliamentary approval, ensuring he can spread around the blame for the inevitable downsides. |

My father was an automotive component engineer. I can easily believe the industry's just-in-time supply lines are now that intricate and that fragile. Just as laissez-faire economics demand, all fat has been trimmed from the system -- but fat reserves are what you fall back on to survive in lean times. If you've engineered out every single part of your supply chain to remove stock warehousing you're gonna have a bad time when stuff goes wrong. |

There'll be just enough slack built in to the system to tolerate routine incidents like that, but probably not an ounce more. Automotive companies invented lean manufacturing and they're very good at it. |

The choice of photos and headline on that 'Telegraph' front page feels very counter-productive, almost as if they want us to celebrate them. If we're supposed to fear them, any half-decent photo editor would know where bad or sinister photos of each person pictured would be found, or could easily sketch some devil horns on to each of them. |

No-one knows if we can unilaterally withdraw our A50 notification and just stay in. Lots of people think so. The thinking here from Davis, apparently, is that if we don't set the date we're leaving and Parliament votes to reject the final deal, we end up not leaving at all. So he wants to set the date now so if Parliament rejects the deal we cliff-edge out instead. |

DExEU, April: Quote: But a spokeswoman for the Brexit department said in a statement: “No decisions have been taken about the location of the European Banking Authority or the European Medicines Agency, these will be subject to the exit negotiations.” “As part of these negotiations the government will discuss with the EU and member states how best to continue cooperation in the fields of banking and medicines regulation in the best interests of both the UK and the EU.” Today: Quote: London is losing the European Medicines Agency to Amsterdam and the European Banking Authority to Paris, in one of the first concrete signs of Brexit as the UK prepares to leave the European Union. Another DExEU reassurance turns out to be fairy dust and moonbeams. Sources: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/3348057/t ... t-insists/ https://www.theguardian.com/politics/20 ... SApp_Other |

Despite all the bluster, thete's very little activity, which suggests there isn't the will in Parliament to do this. I think the UK'll take a few more hits like the 2 agencies leaving, then not leave, and Cras would be right all along. |

Banned! Quote: UK cities, including Leeds, which are bidding to be crowned the European Capital of Culture have had their hopes dashed by Brussels as a result of Brexit, prompting a furious political backlash.... Arts Minister John Glen hit out at the "crazy decision by (the) European Commission", adding: "We're leaving the EU - not Europe! My team at DCMS are speaking with the five cities right now on the way forward."
But a European Commission spokesman said: "The decision to nominate Hungary and the UK as hosts of the European Capitals of Culture for 2023 was taken by the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers in 2014, two years before the UK decided to leave the EU. "As one of the many concrete consequences of that UK decision, UK participation is no longer possible. It therefore makes sense to discontinue the selection process." |

Good writeup of the consequences of a hard brexit on UK aviation from the FT. https://www.ft.com/content/e7674638-d07 ... 4ce08b24dc Quote: In the area of aviation in particular, the European Commission sees little room for creativity or “bespoke” arrangement that the UK is hoping to negotiate, according to a presentation to the EU member states seen by the Financial Times. If Britain left the single market, the paper states, UK-owned airlines would automatically lose existing flying rights in Europe’s “fully liberalised” aviation market, and would no longer be entitled to EU recognition of approvals for parts or certificates for airworthiness. Ownership restrictions would also apply, forcing groups such as Ryanair and International Airlines Group to buy out British shareholders to ensure they were 50 per cent owned and controlled by EU nationals, in order to continue operating routes within the EU. “UK red lines mean exit from the single market,” the commission presentation said. “All rights, obligations and benefits derived cease. No traffic rights — end of market access; ownership & control rules — third country restrictions kick in; end of mutual recognition of certificates; end of participation in European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).” “Air freedoms [are] granted by way of international agreement. What is not expressly agreed is prohibited,” the paper adds. If strictly applied in a no-deal Brexit scenario, such an approach would lead to the grounding of many UK flights — something British ministers have dismissed as scaremongering. The paper notes there are no World Trade Organisation fallback options for aviation and makes clear that “old bilateral agreements between member states and the UK are not revived”. Quote: “Does anybody seriously think the Spanish government, which would see hotel bookings collapse in 2019, is going to intervene to stop the planes flying? Of course they’re not,” Mr [Chris] Grayling told the BBC. Let's hope these shallow, reflexive reassurances turn out better than "of course we will prevail in talks, BMW sell us too many cars" or "of course the EU won't move the medicine's agency from London" or "of course we will hold trade talks in parallel with the divorce bill negotiation" or "of course we can easily sort out the border in Ireland". And let us hope that Mr Grayling's casual dismissal of the risk does not imply he's equally casual about doing the hard yards and negotiating an agreement that avoids that risk.
