JordanGlover Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) Supporting the mental health and well-being of teachers and all key workers is crucial. Addressing housing costs and fair compensation for frontline healthcare professionals should be a priority. It's a complex issue, but considering measures like taxing profitable companies can be part of the solution. In the end, it's about finding a balance that ensures everyone's needs are met. And if anyone's struggling with mental health, remember there are crisis hotlines like Mental Health Crisis Hotline - 866-903-3787 available for support.

joebean Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Stress comes from grappling with competing priorities. First, a culture where success is measured by examination results. Second, where children’s rights to behave and express themselves as they want is secondary to discipline. It happens in all walks of life where standards were once absolute but are now eroded. Personally I would have hated being a teacher and the competing demands of that job would have had me soon claiming mental health issues. The same applies now to my ex-profession, where standards have slipped dramatically. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladys Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Just now, WTF said: vat based on turnover ? If they are registered for VAT on sales (which is really a tax on the buyer) or make purchases subject to VAT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The business just collects it and passes it on to government. VAT is added to the selling price of the product, not part of it. If anything it makes the business money because it can sit in their account for a few months earning interest when it’s not actually their money.

Your analysis only applies to sales paid for at point of delivery. Lots of business invoice and customers take months to pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
