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,

FAKE
TRIPADVISOR REVIEWER JAILED. The owner of
an Italian marketing agency that wrote fake
reviews for hotels and restaurants has been
jailed for nine months and ordered to pay costs
of more than £8,000. The agency, PromoSalento,
tried to submit more than 1,000 fake positive
reviews, illegal in Italy before they were caught
and the owner jailed in what is the first conviction
of its kind, though hopefully with more to follow.
TripAdvisor
has sadly not been transparent enough to release
the names of the hotels and restaurants which
were happy to pay to mislead their public, yet.
According to website Fakespot, which aims to
weed out bogus reviews, up to one third of TripAdvisor
reviews are fake, a claim contested by TripAdvisor.

Again?! Perhaps they should revoke the banks'
licences and encourage everyone to keep their
money in empty biscuit tins under their bed,
instead? It would certainly be more reliable
- and leave more money in customers' pockets,
too. Even if it would impact on all that advertising
revenue enjoyed by the criminal banking industry's
mates, the fake news media, as well as large
bungs to corrupt politicians.
School
apologises after pupils handed worksheet suggesting

With the tide of East European migration
well and truly turned since the Brexit vote
and the accompanying campaign of hate-preaching
from Little Ingerlandt's fake tabloid news and
political rabble, the real issue has become
one of skills and labour shortages which are
far from being filled by the indigenous population
- whatever that might be in Britain. Employers
speak in unison however, when they condemn the
'thicko mills' which are the today's schools
producing dummyphone-gazing knobheads who don't
even know how to get out of bed - much less
put in an honest, skilled and productive day's
work.
If
there is anyone 'stealing' UK jobs these days
then it is high time the education system and
educationalists themselves came under closer
scrutiny - and not the latest, convenient scapegoat.
Next thing you know, they will be teaching their
pupils that Britain won World War 2!

UK will be 'unequivocally pro-business' after
Brexit, Theresa May tells American investors.
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/theresa-may-brexit-business-corporation-tax-bloomberg-forum-new-york-un-a8555146.html
Translation: the Tory regime will double
its fagging efforts for evil, tax-dodging American
Big Corp after Brexit is finalised. Which is
why evil American Big Corp manipulated the Brexit
outcome and Britain's political stooges to begin
with. And then tried to blame the Ruskies.
As
for a 'pro-business' message to BRITISH businesses
then - as usual - there ain't one. That would
be 'anti-semitic'.
Mobile
phone charges 'unacceptable' says Ofcom.
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-45652259
Mobile phone charges have been 'unacceptable'
since mobile phones first became available.
Which makes Ofcon now stating the obvious, even
more unacceptable. Unfortunately, when a regime
appoints telecoms crooks as ministers, things
aren't going to change any time soon.

And just like the telecons industry, this
isn't going to change any time soon because
the victims are 'fuckin' plebs' and the 'swinish
multitude' and not bankers on grotesque bonuses
giving bungs to political parties.

The Department for International Trade has launched
a series of consultations on its approach to
negotiating free trade agreements post-Brexit.
The consultations are seeking feedback about
priorities for the UK's future trade relationships
with the United States, Australia, New Zealand
and the 11 countries that make up the Trans-Pacific
Partnership. Once the UK leaves the EU it will
begin negotiating free trade agreements with
a view to bringing them into force from January
2021. The consultations close on 26 October
2018.

One in three smaller business owners want to

best to achieve that growth, according to a
survey carried out by the British Business Bank.
The survey revealed that only 5% of business
owners have considered angel investment and
only 7% have considered crowdfunding. The survey
also revealed that business confidence is high,
with 51% of business owners expecting to increase
their turnover in the next financial year and
just 8% expecting their turnover to decrease.

I would be surprised if even one, single
cabinet minister knew what a 'Canada-style
free trade deal with the EU' would mean.
(The EU permitting.) Just as they have no idea
what being a war criminal means; or a Fag for
America; or a Friend of Israel.

Tory Brexit stooges have been 'opening
negotiations with the rest of the world' since
Brexit was declared. And how many trade deals
have been struck? None. Zilch. Zero. After all,
who wants to sign up to do fresh business with
a country run by lying, thieving war criminals
fagging for American and Israeli terrorists?

Around 40% of businesses that will need to comply
with Making Tax Digital (MTD) are unaware of
their requirement to make digital returns, according
to research from ICAEW. MTD will require most
businesses operating above the VAT threshold
to keep digital records for VAT purposes from
April 2019. However, 25% of VAT-registered businesses
still use paper-based accounting systems, meaning
they will need to upgrade to MTD-compatible
accounting software. The research has revealed
that 34% of businesses surveyed plan to rely
on their accountant or tax adviser for MTD advice,
and 20% have not started preparing for its introduction.

to boost their circulations!! In between carrying

New
VAT threshold for sales of digital services
in the EU. https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/draft-legislation-vat-supplies-of-electronic-telecommunication-and-broadcasting-services-orders-2018
HMRC has launched a consultation on changes
to VAT for businesses selling digital services
to consumers in the EU. The rules will introduce
a €10,000 threshold for total supplies
of digital services to the EU, which means that
a business will only be subject to VAT rules
in their home country if their yearly sales
fall below the threshold. The consultation closes
on 8 October 2018 and the rules are expected
to come into force in January 2019.

Brexit. https://www.accountancydaily.co/hmrc-outlines-no-deal-preparations-eu-only-uk-traders
HMRC has written to VAT registered UK businesses
that only trade in the EU to help them prepare
for a 'no-deal' Brexit. In the letter, HMRC
has confirmed that EU-only traders would be
required to complete customs declarations for
the first time from March 2019. The letter also
confirms that UK traders would have to apply
customs, excise and VAT procedures in the event
of a 'no-deal'. A separate version of the letter
has been sent to businesses in Northern Ireland
in which the Government reaffirms its commitment
to avoiding a hard border between the Republic
and Northern Ireland.

civil war: Poll shows most Britons oppose Saudi

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/yemen-civil-war-uk-saudi-arabia-arms-sales-bombing-emergency-debate-stephen-twigg-a8532191.html
Firstly, let's not 'pretty up' the situation.
It's not a 'civil war'. It's the continuing
mass-murder of millions of defenceless civilians
by cowardly Saudi, American and British terrorist
and war criminal scum and their temple money-lender
backers. So, on a similar basis, most Britons
opposed the invasion of Iraq. Just as most Britons
are now opposed to Brexit. In fact, most Britons
would be opposed to most things the corrupt,

A proposed tax cut for the self-employed has
been scrapped by the Treasury. The abolition
of Class 2 NICs was originally due to be introduced
in April 2018, but was delayed by 12 months.
It was expected to save over three million self-employed
workers an extra £130 a year if they made
a profit of £6,205. The Federation of
Small Businesses has said the move is “extremely
disappointing” and John McDonnell, shadow
chancellor, has described the move as “yet
another betrayal of the self-employed”.

get such a good tax deal then there's nothing

Trump
adviser (terrorist scum) threatens sanctions

This is not 'news' and despite Britain's
media heads stuffed up American terrorists'
arses so far they can't breathe, this is no
'surprise', either. Since WW2, the USA economy,
every bit as much as its populist culture, has
been dependent on war crimes, crimes against
humanity, cowardly terrorism, mass-murder, theft
and lies. Each and every one of the 50 countries
it has invaded and the 20 million civilians
it has murdered since then, have suffered in
the same way - and that is common knowledge,
no matter what some American spokeshite might
say.
Yet,
despite these horrific, inhuman credentials,
there are elements within British politics and
the media which are actually trying to persuade
us to do business with this filth. Like handing
over our children to a group of rampant paedophiles
or cannibals. Or asking a butcher not to vote

There have been dozens of calls from dozens
of credible sources for dozens of years urging
a 'fundamental structural shift' of the UK economy.
As not reported by the UK's mainstream fake
news media. Which requires a 'fundamental structural
shift' itself, because there are millions of
mugs out there who believe they are actually
reading or listening to 'the news' rather than
taxpayer-funded state hate-preaching, fake news
and propaganda! If you don't want the Daily

American investment in 9/11 and the war against

Labour
antisemitism causing British Jews to consider
leaving country, says leading rabbi. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/jeremy-corbyn-labour-antisemitism-lord-jonathan-sacks-zionist-enoch-powell-a8519221.html
Now, I wonder how many other immigrants
to Britain's shores have already left Britain
because of the lying, hate-preaching, Jewish-owned
and edited media? Or been terrorised, murdered
and forced out of their homes in Palestine?
Or been terrorised, murdered and forced out
of their homes in their millions and MILLIONS,
all around the world, by successive American-Jewish
war criminal administrations and their Jewish-owned
fake news media/propaganda? What are the hitherto
silently held views of a Jewish religious extremist,
speaking on behalf of a small, unrepresentative,
Jewish corporate minority, have to say about
that?
IF
there is a growing wave of anti-Jewish sentiment
- and that is a big 'IF' in the real world divorced
from hysterical, disproportionate and fabricated
media smear campaigns - then it has been fuelled
by an interest group which sees a Labour party
- or any opposition party without Blairite/Tory
war criminal type supporters of Israeli or American-Jewish
terrorism - as a threat.
To
the rest of us who don't make our livings from
hate-preaching, lying, thieving and murdering,
then the vast majority of Jews, just like any
other citizens of the world, are our friends
and lovers; our business associates and customers.
The huge majority who quietly go about trying
to make the world a richer and a happier and
a safer place. Which doesn't float everyone's
boat, apparently.

HMRC celebrity 'blacklist' over tax avoidance
