Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

[Wolf]

I am simply asking that the government uses stronger language about what they require of us - absolutely nothing more. I am also simply asking for more detail - it is clearly desperately required but many - though I'm clear on what I must and must not do.

That you see my hopes and wishes of the government through a political prism is your issue not mine.

No you keep keep stating they must. That's not asking them to do anything its you banging the same drum digging at them as usual because it doesn't meet your criteria. The government arw doing a good job in exceptionally trying circumstances. They are giving factual info based on expert guidance and not just winging it.

They have given all of us everything they have so far and are continuing to do so. What we must do is listen and follow the guidance given nothing more and nothing less. It's as simple as that, as long as you do what you know you should do then let the authorities deal with idiots that don't. That's all that must be done for now..

As for my views on your political prism it's not my issue at all, its you who continues to post about your views on them!

What if you haven't made a tax return yet? I must get my son to do his 2018/2019 tax return (it's complicated and yes he is late but HMRC know) - it'll be his first. But we'll find a way.

How old is your Son If you dont mind me asking?

I always do my tax return in April so I can spend my rebate in May. Winner winner ?

Nothing. He didn't really understand (or probably he didn't want to understand in truth) that even although he was earning diddly-squat he still had to do a tax return. He only registered as sole-trader in February - he started work on a sole-trader basis April 2018. He has another 6 weeks or so to get his tax return for 2018/19 done (3months is given following registration to get first one done). I must sit with him sometime today or this evening to get it done. Might be to late.

That said he can provide evidence from his bank account of his last X months income as a sole-trader as it comes solely from two event management companies.

It sounds as though it is in his hands then.

It also sounds as though at some point he needs to speak to a business advisor to run himself correctly. I would have thought, for example, that he would have been better setting himself up as a ltd company rather than a sole trader (don't take my word for it, he needs to speak to someone who knows his business, I don't) . If this is your son in Sheffield then go through this site, https://www.syob.net/uk/start-a-business/South-Yorkshire/1608 This should be a council run agency and he will not have to pay for any of the advice or courses etc. He really needs to go through that going forward and get some advice.

I think his post hinted that he’s staying in Mexico rather than coming back. Can’t fault him. Siesta!

He’s a scab,all for themselves that lot ?‍

If the country is in lockdown and we are forced to stay home why is anyone who wants still going to work? What is the point, either we all do it or it's pointless.

Shopped last Thursday. Last night; fever, dry throat and cough. Threw up about 2:30am. Feel like crap this morning, still with a fever. Chest feels like it stinging inside, front and back. Here's hoping its just a cold... a bit anxious to say the least.

Fingers crossed it is just a cold Brian. Keep us updated.

Thanks you. My son is currently on the phone trying to get through to his bank asking them to consider stopping applying charges to his overdraft, and put in place a payment plan to pay it off. He has had to chase as he wrote to them some weeks ago asking same and they have not got back to him - and have continued to apply charges...

BTW There is a low earning self employment exemption around, if his self employed income is very low btw.

If he is going to do it himself, then he needs to register to submit his tax return online as soon as possible as registration takes quite a time btw(normally this is a separate exercise to just registering to declare his income/need to complete a tax return), so do now rather than later. Be sensible with claims. I would say I did read your other thread, but did not comment as do not really give advice on forums due to claims and not taking on new clients and whilst I appreciate the advice given on the forum is well meaning, quite a bit of what was posted in your other thread was incorrect advice tbh.

If he is going to take advice, then get him to speak to someone who knows what they are doing and has been recommended to you.

All the best in these testing times.

Not sure it's appropriate to "like" your post. But get well soon - hope you are ok

If she could do without it I would just say to leave it but needs must! Being a main dealer would they not maybe offer to drop it off to you?

Thanks mate, just called Audi and they will deliver her car back home . I owe you one when this is over

Pray you don't. The ambulance will be 2 hours or more before it arrives. It'll be busy elsewhere.

I pray I don't every day of the week. Nothing to do with Covid-19.

I assume that the "you might have an accident" applies to Cyclists too, or are Lycra warriors exempt form this too, like many seem to think they are exempt from one-way systems.

I had to drive the breadth of the country this morning (before anyone gets on a high horse I had been working at a client site that was open until 1130 last night (and I had had 2 beers by that point). Roads were still busy but the sheer number of Cyclonazis was astounding.

He's 27 and has been 'trading' since End April 2018. He did not register as a sole trader until late January this year. He has until End April to submit his tax return for 2018/2019. His income for that tax year will be maybe £14k tops. Even with minimal expenses claimed as tax deductible his tax bill shouldn't be that much. Mind you it will still be too much for him at the moment as his income is now zero...joys...hopefully HMRC will not demand immediate payment.
