i work local with 9 other people and we asked about the new government cycle scheam set up to cut cars on the road! well we all cycle to work and thought we could buy nice new bikes as we were led to believe theres a tax offset and it would reduce the tax from our wages to part pay for the bikes ?? Our boss looked into it thinking it sounded like a great enviromental idea untill he found out that he would have to pay for the bikes and they would be company property forever....and we could buy them but it would mess their tax paperwork about so much its not worth the accountantcy fees.

dead right robert,if you are on incapacity benefit then you are not classed as unemployed ,so the more people that were put on that, the better the unemployment figures looked ( it was all about juggling the books ) merthyr tidfil is about 10 miles from me, and I think there is about 70% unemployment, the other valley towns are bad, but not as bad as merthyr, trouble is the youngsters see their fathers and grandfathers not working and when the time comes for them to look for work most of them just sign on instead .its a never ending circle
as for tax cuts did you honestly think the powers that be would give you anything( we are not immigrants ( legal or illegal we are just the british taxpayer that they have s--t on for years.
