Budget 2013

@glasagusban

You thought it would be another 3 years of cutting circa 3 billion a year before we would get to where we are today? If you told people five years back that that we’d have five years of austerity to arrive at the stunning achievement of a return to zero growth with massive unemployment I don’t think many would have gone taken that option.

Do you honestly think there was an easier better way? The lads getting the blame here aren’t the lads at fault . The lads at fault are sitting pretty with fat pensions or theyre families are living veey comfortably off their ill gotten gains while they are gone to God.

Also 5 years ago I don’t think people realised how much in the shiter we were.

From the 100 odd people I know who have left only a handful have a meaningful job or pay rent on their own place even. 90% are treating it like a J1. That is not making a life for yourself. On the piss 4 nights a week.

You must hang around with an right shower of apes

You seem to think the boys have done a great job. They haven’t. You also seem to have some sort of masochistic appetite for more austerity, which suggests you are fucked up in the head or were much less hit than most.

I’m pretty sure we did.

They need banks to be capitalised and have healthy reserve ratios as well and they increase DIRT to 41%.

DIRT increase won’t have any impact on capital ratios, though the levy will. Can’t see the DIRT increase having a huge impact on liquidity ratios either to be honest.

One good thing I’ve spotted for some Businesses is the extension of the Threshold for accounting for VAT on a Cash Receipts basis to €2m.

Care to elaborate on this for the non accountants. How does this help your average retailer?

Average retailers will be cash businesses so wont really effect them. If you have a business that gives credit and therefore have debtors usually you will pay VAT on the sale when the invoice is raised. This caused cash flow problems for businesses because they might allow 90 days credit but will pay VAT bi monthly. A company paying on the cash receipts basis will pay VAT only in the VAT period in which the debtor pays for that sale.

Don’t think RTÉ have put one person with a positive thing to say about the Budget in their audience for Prime Time. The Government would have reasonable grounds for complaint here.

Be a bit harsh to expect kids under 5 to take part in the debate.
