Piss
They are taking the piss aren't they.
They changed the law so now small IT businesses are taxed on revenue without being able to deduct legitimate business costs, while at the same time big corporations can continue to avoid paying taxes.
For SMEs this means the flexible IT workers have become 30-50% more expensive. Innovate with that.
Meanwhile they are faffing around with non-issues that companies spent good money to be compliant with and have to continue to be compliant regardless.
Elections can't come soon enough.
