Apparently - Employers are not working people

I contemplated started a thread in this very subject yesterday.

DH and I are still employers, and have been for over 40 years.

This statement made my blood boil to be honest. It brought back all the times I have had to drive around the country, at all hours with a child or two in the back of the car asleep when an employee has called in sick.

All the times we have worked excessive hours to the detriment of family life, juggling childcare, school runs etc.. Paying employees before ourselves when the cash flow was overly tight

I could go on, but it’s not good for my blood pressure…

Yes pretty much my husband's reaction GG he's jut been listening to the Black Belt Barrister discussing it. What planet is she on ? Shockingly Clueless about how small businesses operate. Chief Secretary to the Treasury as well

My friend's DH employs several people and works long hours himself even though he is over retirement age.
To say employers don't work is complete nonsense

Careless talk, I think. If she was meaning to distinguish between paid employees and their employers she's not exactly chosen her words well.

I have every sympathy with your objections.

Of course employers are working people.

Tax on rents and interest is income tax.

Tax on rents and interest is charged under ITTOIA05 which stands for the Income Tax (Trading and Other Income) Act 2005.

The clue to whether it is income tax or not is right there in the name of the Act.

Gosh I worked in my business 24/7.- well it seemed like it!
It was never out of my thoughts!
I also remember my father wondering why I didn’t have a new car every year. Isn’t that what business owners did?
