Tarne Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Nice to see the biggest tax capper on the island with a net increase in wealth of 800m is still paying about £1 in tax for every £50k he earns... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, bacause he has done fuck all for the island either right? Not sure why it bothers you. If anyone believed you then he keeps you in housing and tesco shite pizza.

Technically you still have to pay it and then claim it back from the government. Over 75 you're entitled to, whatever your income, but under (but still over retirement age) you have to be on Income Support as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed that the reality of it actually happening would have been nil? Pretty much so. The problem is that both housing authorities have to give permission. I can't see that being acceptable unless the tenant moving to the Island was Manx-qualified and UK HA might also have similar requirements. I suppose there's always scope for dodgy dealings with HA connivance, but that's always true. It all sounds like wishful thinking to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
