Windfall tax

As people were told.

Raising tax doesn't automatically lead to greater receipts.

Jeremy hunts windfall tax on gas and oil companies that helped oust liz was estimated to return 41.6bn to the treasury.

It's now estimated the uk will receive 26bn. A 40% difference.

Remember we were told gilts only went as high as they did because of the Truss budget...they're higher bow than when the " disaster budget" was announced.

We were told minford was an idiot and that Truss policies would lead to a 5% base rate...we now have a 5% base rate.

But apparently sunaks and hunts budgets were the ones to protect the uk. Long may they flounder.

Maybe Truss’s cabinet and Sunak’s cabinet are equally inept.

Who’d have thunk it?

The argument of imposing windfall taxes to bring down prices is a lie.

Think about it.You're running a profitable business. The government then decides that you're not paying enough tax and so increases the amount you are required to pay.

How do you respond?

You increase your prices to compensate and if the tax burden gets too high, you cease to invest and move your company abroad

I don’t recall Sunak having any sort of vision. Let alone one that was championed.

But that doesn’t mean Truss wasn’t a disaster

"

It’s just incompetence - from 2010 until 2023. Criminal incompetence.

The fact is that investors and the markets have no faith in this Government. All the questions remain, but the Government have never had any long-term answers.

The economy is crumbling and investors are fleeing. All the while incompetent charlatans hang on to their jobs terrified of what might happen if they were honest enough to accept that they really do need to call an election.

For the sake of the country, they need to accept that their time is up and that they are out of ideas.

But they won’t

Cunts.

No

They extended the current scheme at a calculation of 40bn and increased the windfall from 25% to 35%.

When you hit companies hard with tax, they stop investing and they reduce profits.

We will never know.

What we have seen though is that increasing tax doesn't result in the receipts automatically increasing in line with the tax change though.

In fact.

Not even close.

So even though the windfall didn’t bring in c.£40bn it did still bring in c.£26bn (sorry need to scroll up to check exact numbers but can’t while posting). So how would Truss’ approach have brought in c.£26bn?

Truss was very unpopular at Oxford. Few friends. One of those awkward dweebs that nobody really spoke to or ever wanted to invite to any social type event. Just wanted to be liked so easy to manipulate.

You’ve lost me. No need to be cryptic this isn’t the Crystal Maze...

You said


"Jeremy hunts windfall tax on gas and oil companies that helped oust liz was estimated to return 41.6bn to the treasury.

It's now estimated the uk will receive 26bn. A 40% difference."

So while less than expected is that not still a net gain?

Whaley Bridge,Nr Buxton,


"The argument of imposing windfall taxes to bring down prices is a lie.

Think about it.You're running a profitable business. The government then decides that you're not paying enough tax and so increases the amount you are required to pay.

How do you respond?

You increase your prices to compensate and if the tax burden gets too high, you cease to invest and move your company abroad"

Exactly what happened in France,also with their "wealth/assets" tax.Companies planned to withdraw from France.Wealthy people planned to leave,they can go elsewhere because they can afford to because they are....errr...wealthy.Taking their money with them that they are not spending in France,or investing in businesses or startups,which create jobs which creates tax revenue,not just IT but VAT on stuff employed people can afford to buy.Who pays for the poor?It sure as hell isn't the poor.

"As people were told.

Raising tax doesn't automatically lead to greater receipts.

Jeremy hunts windfall tax on gas and oil companies that helped oust liz was estimated to return 41.6bn to the treasury.

It's now estimated the uk will receive 26bn. A 40% difference.

Remember we were told gilts only went as high as they did because of the Truss budget...they're higher bow than when the " disaster budget" was announced.

We were told minford was an idiot and that Truss policies would lead to a 5% base rate...we now have a 5% base rate.

But apparently sunaks and hunts budgets were the ones to protect the uk. Long may they flounder.

"

The oil and gas industry could write off the windfall tax against new investments in oil and gas, so guess what they have done...

What has this got to do with Truss' budget?

Gilt yields rose due to her budget because the market did not want to lend against unfunded tax cuts in the hope that this would magically create growth to provide additional taxes. The BoE had to purchase its own debt to artificially create demand to maintain the value.

A more sensible budget allowed this debt to be sold back.

Inflation has since risen dramatically and is starting to look embedded for longer than expected. This requires a higher yield to make the debt attractive. The Government does not have direct control over the biggest driver of inflation which has been fossil fuel prices. Over a decade of below inflation pay rises has led to a sudden demand due to the high rise in the cost of living.

Truss' increase in the yield was sudden due to market panic. The current rise has happened over several months due to gradually worsening expectations.

Minford and Gudgen and Truss were idiots according to the market.

The market decides, not you.
