Declan Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 IOM Govt can't levy a windfall tax from Manx Utilities - it would be taxing itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Manx gas is losing money so only option is more handouts which they should finance from massive increases in fuel duty/VAT they have been raking in from higher oil prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyJoe Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 CoMin will announce assistance for the very vulnerable, declare they can't help everyone & forge ahead with government without obvious policy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandits Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 At the end of the day we will promise a lot and do virtually nothing. Ashy might even think he’s dodged a bullet after all his empty promises about assisting people who are struggling (which we were never going to do anyway). More business for the food bank and maybe rope in Mountain Warehouse to supply some thermal layers next time they’re on sale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
