Budget Impact?

[mneylon]

So what does everyone think of the budget?

What impact will it have on you?

It'll be interesting to see what will stick.

Maybe I'm imagining it but I think Fianna Fail always throw in stupid things that have to be taken out again - they did it with the pensioners christmas payment and they did it with the couples tax thing years ago. It's like they throw in something guaranteed to create uproar - which effectively drowns out the other the noise and then pull it in. Its clever if annoying

I'm not sure if it will impact me so much as a sole trader, or did I miss something? But as a mum, it sure will be a different story.

VAT went down by .5% so unless your selling less than €37,500 you'll have to change the VAT on your invoices and claims going forward?

 

[raphaele]

Indeed I do sell less than €37,500, so change in VAT won't affect me, but it will surely affect most of self-employed out there.

Other than my markup going up by 0.5% because Im (just) not in the tax band!
