Saw a post where someone was talking about "tlt", which i guess is... a book? i don't know, but i wanted to know, and since no one broke down the acronym in the replies or tags (not a criticism of anyone who was talking! they knew what they were talking about), so i looked it up, as one does.

i still don't know what tlt is in the context of that post, but now i do know that "transient lodging taxes" are a thing, and gosh and how but i am super pissed off, i'll tell you what.

Private Sector Good Public Sector Bad

According to textbook definitions,  the “private sector” it is that part of the economy that is owned and controlled by individuals and businesses rather than by government. As such, those individuals and businesses are entitled to pocket ALL profits made, minus taxes paid to government.

According to neoliberal economic theory, a theory much championed by Rishi Sunak and previous Conservative governments, this leads to cost effectiveness and maximised efficiency throughout the economy.

Jolly good! This is very much mainstream economic theory and has been ever since Margaret Thatcher was PM. But what Conservatives (and Labour) never do is follow through on their   economic beliefs! 

If those individuals and businesses in the private sector are entitled to ALL the profit they make, then it follows in my mind that they are also liable for any costs they incur. And it also follows that if they mess up, miscalculate or over-stretch themselves financially, then they should bare ALL of the costs of their own failures.

But that isn’t what happens. Remember the banking crisis? The greedy banks over-reached themselves, lending out too much money on bad assets. We the taxpayer had to bail them out. The last ten years of falling standards of living are in large part due to the Austerity policies introduced by Tory governments to help shore up the privately owned financial sector of the economy.

Nothing has changed. Yesterday, were heard the good news that household yearly energy costs will fall by approximately £150. Whoopee! The bad news is that standing charges energy companies can impose will be allowed to rise and might wipe out the above savings.

Only two of the six big suppliers of energy to the UK are British owned. In 2020, these companies did very well for themselves.

“The UK’s ‘Big Six’ energy companies made over £3billion in profit in 2020."  (Big Issue: 04/02/22)

Hardly a struggling market you would of thought. Yet our Tory government is charging every one of us for those PRIVATE companies that failed in a business where it seems ridiculously easy to make huge profits.

“The secret £200 bill you’ll pay for failed energy firms” Telegraph: 09/0422)

Sunak repeatedly tells us that inflation is the main enemy of the economy yet he raised the standing charge by a massive 80% last year.

“Ofgem refuses to change ‘unjust’ standing charge policy, which has seen fees rocket as much as 80%"  (inews: 18/08/22)

And this year we have this

“Standing charges will rise again…"  (moneysavingexpert: 25/08/23)

The decision to raise standing charges can be laid at the door of government, as it is the government agency Ofgem that  “takes decisions on price controls and enforcement.”  As Martin Lewis rightly tells us,:

“The level of standing charges and unit rates, and the split between the two of them, is set by Ofgem.”  (moneysavingexpert: 04/07/23)

 And as usual in this topsy-turvy world of Tory economic policy it is perfectly acceptable for foreign firms to make huge profits from the British consumer, but not all right for them to take a hit when businesses fail.

The soaring cost of energy in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine has delivered windfall gains to Qatar which this year expects to earn about $76 billion in tax from its energy exports. Qatar's budget surplus last year, buoyed by energy exports, was 45 times bigger than the previous year. The UK's energy exports last year delivered tax revenue that was nine times higher than the previous year, after the Conservative government introduced an Energy Profits Levy to compensate consumers as domestic power bills soared. Despite intense lobbying and continued opposition from the oil giants, the UK lifted its headline tax rate for oil and gas producers to 75 per cent, from 40 per cent. And still the companies delivered record profits to shareholders. The UK government expects to pull in an average of 8.6 billion pounds ($16 billion) over the next six years, compared with a yearly average of just 800 million pounds ($1.5 billion) in the six years to last June.

The Calling of Levi

27 And after these things He went out and beheld a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office, and He said to him, Follow Me. 28 And leaving all, he rose up and followed Him. 29 And Levi gave a great reception for Him in his house; and there was a great crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining at table with them. 30 And the Pharisees and their scribes murmured at His disciples, saying, Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners? 31 And Jesus answered and said to them, Those who are healthy have no need of a physician, but those who are ill; 32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. — Luke 5:27-32 | Recovery Version (REC) The Recovery Version of the Holy Bible © 2009 Living Stream Ministry.

Professional Tax Consulting and Relief Services in Minnesota - Expert Tax Solutions for IRS Challenges

Introduction: Navigating tax issues can be overwhelming, especially when the IRS issues notices or takes action. At Best Tax Pro - Tax Consulting Firm in Minnesota, we specialize in providing effective, professional tax solutions tailored to your unique needs.

With a team of experienced tax attorneys and consultants, we are dedicated to helping clients in Minnesota find relief from IRS back taxes and achieve financial stability.

Understanding IRS Notices and Certified Letters Receiving a notice from the IRS, such as a notice of intent to levy, can be intimidating. These notices typically indicate that the IRS is taking action due to outstanding tax debts or unresolved tax issues. Often, a certified letter from the IRS outlines the immediate steps the taxpayer must take to avoid further penalties or levies. At Best Tax Pro, our tax attorneys and professional consultants understand the importance of quick, accurate responses. We guide clients through each phase of the process, ensuring that they comprehend every detail of the communication and make informed decisions to address the issues at hand.

Why You Need a Professional Tax Consultant The tax code is complex, and any minor miscalculation or misunderstanding can lead to significant penalties. Working with a professional tax consultant brings clarity to your tax situation and provides you with an advocate who can liaise directly with the IRS on your behalf. Our consultants are seasoned in identifying tax discrepancies and strategizing effective solutions for tax relief. From filing back taxes to negotiating with the IRS, we tailor our services to the unique needs of each client, helping them avoid costly consequences while safeguarding their assets.

Addressing IRS Wage Garnishment If you’ve received notice of an IRS wage garnishment, it’s essential to act quickly. Wage garnishment can severely impact your financial stability, as it allows the IRS to directly deduct a portion of your wages to cover unpaid taxes. At Best Tax Pro, we’re skilled at negotiating on behalf of our clients to stop wage garnishment or reduce its impact. Our tax attorneys work closely with clients to develop a practical solution, often through installment agreements or tax debt settlements, to minimize the strain of IRS garnishment on their finances.

Resolving IRS Back Taxes Unresolved IRS back taxes can accumulate quickly, leading to interest charges, penalties, and potential enforcement actions from the IRS. Dealing with back taxes alone can be challenging, especially if you’re unsure of your total liability. Our team offers expert tax resolution services, ensuring that each aspect of your back taxes is carefully analyzed and managed. By partnering with Best Tax Pro, clients benefit from experienced professionals who can assess their situation and develop customized strategies, from payment plans to settlements, to bring them back into compliance with the IRS.
