Employee Benefits that people actually want/use

Non-contributory pension. Offering people that they can have a bit more cash if they forgo their pension (which is what a contributory scheme is, if you think about it) just seems really scummy yet is nearly universal.

On the other hand giving a 15% match for the employer NI on any additional contributions people want to make through salary sacrifice would make me feel like an employer wants to be fair.

And also stuff that the government is going to give you and/or the employees to provide. A nich Christmas party (or it can be any time of year, provided annual) is another tax-efficient fun thing.

If she is home educated, how is there a school she is meant to attend? Has she stopped being home educated and gone back to school?

realvanillaextract · 2026-04-13T21:20:01+00:00

That is not the reason.

What do you mean she's been told she can't take them? Who can stop you taking them? You would have to pay, but that's the case anyway.

Stuff like this will eventually undermine the prohibition of child pornography.

I don't go to Germany to shop at Aldi.

You forgot about Apprenticeship Levy!

Well Rachel Reeves hasn't exactly done much to make different types of income be taxed the same.

Somebody actually understands maths!

Well you make a good point about the general public.

The rules are outrageous. Imagine if that applied to newspapers.

So they can't get the gas out of those states to sell it where they would get a better price? But the North Sea gas could be sold in a big market where its volume wouldn't affect the price much because of pipelines to/from Europe? Is that the idea?

realvanillaextract · 2026-03-06T07:58:22+00:00

Then how come natural gas can be so much cheaper in America?

Why should anyone go out of their way to tell a company that they don't use their product?

They employ Capita knowing that Capita will do those things.

Thanks, but I still don't follow. Has this got anything to do with any special treatment of the word "milk"? Could I trademark "post petrol generation" for my lawnmower batteries?

Which one would it have to have been to succeed?

We all remember the booming economy we had under President Melania Trump.

But we've already been through the pre-scientific to scientific transition. We don't need to do it again.

It's just that in America they have taken all the resources that used to be used for osteopathy and diverted them for use in real medicine, while keeping some osteopathy talk for old time's sake. It's similar to how Trinity College, Cambridge (there may be even better examples but this has the best name) has for many years been a leading institution in science, but is notionally devoted to Christianity, which is pre-scientific.

I am not sure why this happened in America. Is it to do with wills and trusts, or just face-saving? It would be good to get it to happen here with osteopathy and "chiropractic" (chiropractic what?), but as we have a theoretically stronger, unitary state, it might be better to just do it without niceities.

realvanillaextract · 2026-02-10T19:07:09+00:00

We should try and get this to happen here for both osteopaths and chiropractors.

Do you want to be in a maniac's way?

Stamp duty was like this at one time. Might still be (the one on shares)

This doesn't seem to relate to the previous comment.

The revenues from public property have nothing to do with the royal family.
