FCMR Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Manx Radio News have just stated that the Vat rate on refurbished properties is to return to the old rate of17.5% as of today, this is due to Poland objecting to the lower rate. That being the case then why dont the Government kick the F*****G Polish workers off the Island. And while on the subject I witnessed 2 poles collect their benifits from the post office yesterday, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GD4ELI Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 They're EU citizens. Shut up. Indeed. If they have paid NI on the Island then then they are entitled to benefits, just as the moaner would be in Poland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replying to the thread you started whould have meant FCMR was acknowledging you as the new Queen of the Skeet. I guess he isn't ready to concede the crown just yet.

TheTool Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 What a topic lol Its was started with a good topic and ends up as a slagging match. Lets get back to the topic please. What FCMR is trying to tell you is that not so local companies are employing polish labour and when they finish with them they are staying here and WORKING ASWELL AS CLAIMING. Double bubble as us locals call it. What will happen now the VAT rate has gone up is it will have a knock on effect and locals will lose work from it. Get ready for a rise in unemployment.
