By
way of explanation. The
term 'home business' consists of two words.
'Business' is the second one; it's there to
qualify and support the word 'home' and all
that goes with it - and not vice versa. Consequently,
we also list below, items which are of interest
and value to the home. Whether in its context
as an office or as a part of your family and
lifestyle but always
directed at the improved prospects and enjoyment
that running a business from home, in its entirety,
can bring.
For a current, multi-part
overview of
starting and running a
business from home,

Small
businesses say tax system is unfair. https://www.britishchambers.org.uk/news/2019/04/bcc-small-businesses-dont-see-uk-tax-system-as-level-playing-field
Small businesses believe that the current UK
tax system is unfair and want more support to
meet their tax obligations, a survey by the
British Chambers of Commerce has found. The
survey revealed that 70% of micro-businesses
believe that HMRC applies tax rules unfairly
and 51% believe that HMRC does not provide them
with enough support. Many small businesses also
believe that HMRC underestimates the time and
money needed to meet their tax obligations.

Dead Facebook account holders ‘could outnumber
living in fifty years’. https://www.aol.co.uk/news/2019/04/25/dead-facebook-account-holders-a-could-outnumber-living-in-fifty/
Hardly a surprise; you need to be brain-dead
to subscribe to Facebook in the first place.
Phones4U
tycoon says he will flee UK rather than be 'raped'
if Corbyn wins next election. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/phones4u-john-caudwell-leave-uk-monaco-taxes-corbyn-a8885796.html
The country's Semitic, hate-preaching media
never miss the slightest chance to throw some
shite at Mr Corbyn and the non-Blairite Labour
Party. From trumped-up conspiracies of 'anti-Semitism'
to the rantings of occasional 'tycoons' who
have made their money from screwing the British
public and already have substantial overseas
assets anyway, it must have occurred even to
the thickest of the thick that there are substantial,
criminal elements in British society which prefer
the country to remain subjugated to American
and Israeli war criminals along with record
levels of terrorism, poverty, bankruptcy, homelessness,
hunger, pollution, etc, etc, etc.
Donald
Trump to withdraw US from Arms Trade Treaty.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-48076262
The US has never paid more than lip service
to the Arms Trade Treaty and has always been
the world's leading exporter of the tools of
murder as well as sponsored terrorism to ensure
that business remains profitable. The problem
is that its fagging colonies like Little Ingerlandt
and EU NATO-member countries will now be under
pressure to 'come out' and increase their evil
trade still further. As if 30 million dead (the
equivalent of 6 holocausts - as not reported
by western Semitic media/propaganda) since World
War Two alone and 50 million refugees, isn't
damage enough. All financed by the taxpayer,
of course - and tens of millions of small businesses
- from all around the world.

Just as he has promised to do.

Still a few hundred % to go before house

The Tory regime's priority spending on starving

East is clearly bearing fruit.
End
free TV licences and bus passes for pensioners,
peers say. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-48046595
This menacing graffiti has been on the Tory
bog wall for years and coupled to the suggestion
that the savings thus made could be used to
benefit todays' youth in this Age of Stupid
instead, is a recurring fake news story. Mind
you, I suppose there are the naive and gullible
who believe that that is what the tax cuts will
be used for - just as they believed that Brexit
would see £ billions more being pumped
into the NHS. Before it was sold to the USA.

Is this one reason why the leading American
war criminal, terrorist, coward and serial liar,
Donald The Trump, is coming to visit his colony,
Little Ingerlandt? To promote the USA's latest
business trend? (As well as rally his Judas
troops, the fagging Tories and Blairites.)

Yes, most of the world (except Brexit Knobheads
and selfie-takers) have known that for twenty
years. So - does this mean MPs themselves will
now abandon social media or isn't Wshington
too keen on the idea?
Notre-Dame
fire: Has too much money been given to rebuild
it? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-48039770
You'd have thought that the French regime
would have the decency to divert the surplus
to all the children they have been starving
and bombing in Yemen, Libya and Syria, especially
if the rebuilding work goes to sensibly-priced,
international, skilled craftsmen and not any
of the worthless, French fake Artisanat, who
are responsibe for Notre Dame having gone up

Britain's 'influence' in Washington vanished
when Margaret Thatcher and her stooges began
selling the country's silver to American terrorists
behind the smokescreen which infamously became
referred to as the 'special relationship.' As
for French collabos, they have form going
back a few millennia.

Over half of small businesses expect recession.
https://www.bridgingandcommercial.co.uk/article-desc-14732_57%20per%20cent%20of%20SMEs%20expect%20UK%20recession%20this%20year
Over half of small and medium sized businesses
believe that the UK economy will fall into recession
in 2019, according to the SME confidence tracker
published by Bibby Financial Services. The tracker
has revealed that the average amount of capital
smaller businesses plan to invest in their business
has fallen to £64,600 in Q1 2019, down
from £103,648 in Q1 2018 due to continuing
economic uncertainty.
Increase in numbers of self-employed.
https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/employmentandemployeetypes/bulletins/uklabourmarket/april2019
Figures published by the Office for National

1.34 million self-employed people in the December
2018 to February 2019 period. This is an increase
of 76,000 when compared to the same period 12
months previously. The number of self-employed
people working full time increased by 3% but
the number working part time fell by 1.7%. Increase?
Weren't there supposed to have been over '5
million' self-employed (bogus, admittedly)?
Or is thish shome mishtake?
Guidance

HRMC has published guidance for the private

rules, also known as IR35, from 6 April 2020.
HMRC is advising businesses to look at their
workforce and identify any contractors or freelancers
who are supplying their services through PSCs
(Personal Service Companies). Businesses should
then discuss with their contractors whether
the off-payroll rules apply to them, and put
processes in place to determine whether the
off-payroll rules apply to future contractors.

We'll soon see just how many fake Brexit

as always, it's the genuine, ordinary majority
which will end up being hit the hardest just
to subsidise the freaks and morons. In the meantime,
we can always hope that Brexit Knobheads remain

No shortage of police or bent judges when
it comes to arresting and prosecuting a tiny
handful of people protesting for the future
of the planet. Unlike the taxpayers' £millions
spent on inviting, parading and above all, protecting
American, Israeli and Saudi terrorists and war
criminals who have caused all the damage in
the first place. And will continue to do so
with the full support of Little Ingerlandt's
police state.

However, we can now expect British jurisprudence

And the Tory regime and the Semitic establishment
(especially the mainstream, fake news, hate-preaching
media) need to do more to deal with the Islamophobia
they have been fomenting for the past three
decades. And when they have done that, they
can turn to 'dealing' with all the other groups
and nationalities they have targeted over the

humanity. Then, the vast majority of Jews -
who have nothing whatsoever to do with Lord

it will be the ending of the myth that corrupt,

self-serving, fake news, war criminal propaganda/media

Apart from French hysteria at losing Britain's
huge contribution to that mainstay of their
economy - EU subventions - it should
also be remembered that Macron is a NATO/Bilderberg
appointee and as such, also represents many
interests which would do well out of a messy
Brexit. The only question M. Macron really has
to address is, on which side of his bread does
he want his butter? While true to French political
tradition, he continues to set an example of
how not to run his own country.

for Competition has fined Google £1.3
billion for abusing its monopoly on online advertising
over the last 10 years, acting illegally by
barring its clients from displaying any advertising
from rival advertisers. This, said the Commissioner,
prevented Google's rivals from growing and deprived
consumers the benefits of free competition.
This
is the third such censure of Google by the Commissioner,
totalling fines of £7.1 billion. Last
year Google were fined £3.7 billion for
abusing the dominant market position of its
Android operating system, and in 2017 were fined
£2.1 billion for artificially boosting
its own "Google shopping" price comparison
service in search results.
The
fines, representing 1.29% of Google's 2018 turnover,
are still a long way shy of the 10% of turnover
the Commissioner could impose on Google. https://ezinematters.com/

every day.

French
campaigners go to EU over hunting and trapping
of birds. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/apr/01/france-accused-of-failing-to-protect-endangered-birds
It's a shame that France's chasseurs,
who claim to be nature's allies and the guardians
of 'tradition', continue to associate themselves
with mere barbarism while lapping-up modernism
in every other aspect of their activities: peering
at dummyphones, posing with their 4x4s, noise
pollution, a danger to the public as well as
wildlife, drunk and disorderly, anti-social,
irresponsible, selfish, dumb, criminal - the
list goes on. Little wonder the French President,
the Islamophobe and war criminal, M. Macron,
has been cuddling up to them recently to try
and enhance his lack of popularity. A fitting
alliance, many French people say, as even the
vast majority of chasseurs see through
it all - although that doesn't stop them taking
selfies of the President in their midst.

Making
Tax Digital for VAT now in force. https://www.accountancydaily.co/hmrc-fires-starting-pistol-making-tax-digital
From 1 April 2019, most VAT-registered businesses
in the UK with a turnover above £85,000
must sign up to keep and file digital records
following the introduction of Making Tax Digital
(MTD) for VAT. HMRC figures have revealed that
100,000 businesses have already signed up to
use the new service. HMRC has confirmed that
it will take a light touch approach to issuing
penalties for non-compliance as long as a business
takes reasonable steps to comply with the new
MTD requirements.

Brexiteer and Little Ingerlandt's first American

Businesses that have a .co.uk or .org.uk website
domain have less than three months to secure
the .uk equivalent before the domains are opened
up to the general public. The .uk domain name
was released in June 2014 under a five-year
right of registration to allow owners of certain
domain names registered before 28 October 2013
time to secure the .uk equivalent. The right
to registration expires at 5am on 25 June 2019
when all unregistered .uk domain names will
be freely available.

and it is they who should be banned from pubs
and not just their IT codpieces.

just one, tiny minority extremist brings cross-Channel

should move to France there to be embraced by
the country's criminal trade unionists - with
full state and police blessing! (Mind you, anybody
but Eurostar management would have resolved
this inconvenience in just a couple of minutes.)
