Deutsche Bank proposes tax on remote workers

[NoXion]

The same cunts who lent Trump money are proposing this divide-and-rule bullshit:

Work from home? A big bank wants to slap a 5% tax on you

Deutsche Bank suggests taxing remote workers to help rebuild from COVID and create a more inclusive economy.

As someone who works from home, they can fuck right off.

 

[Argonia]

They certainly can fuck right off. And then fuck right off some more.

Somebody has a lot of commercial property on their balance sheet then

yes “For years, we have needed a tax on remote workers” - why ?

this is hilariously un capitalist if you think about it - taxing people who don’t buy smart trousers !

 

[xenon]

How about, you know, taxing the rich, regardless where they work. Bit old fashioned I spose.

expect that its further gaming the system for the benefit of those who see life as a game of monopoly which is about as capitalist as you can get.

Precisely.

Besides, this idea that home working invariably saves money is bullshit. It does if you'd otherwise commute, but plenty of people live close enough to their work to walk or cycle so there's no saving there, and although you do save a bit through not buying coffees and lunches, that's offset by higher energy bills.

If they're taxing anyone, should it not be all those employers who're saving a fortune on offices?

 

[Wolveryeti]

This couldn't be the same Deutsche Bank with a huge interest in commercial real estate lending, could it?

Deutsche Bank, Goldman and JP Morgan top commercial real estate finance, despite COVID-19 cracks

Several big banks are dominating a funding corner for hotels, shopping centers and other commercial properties despite the pandemic. Here's a look at what's...

Definitely not conflicted then...

 

[Elpenor]

How about a tax on deutschbank instead

 

[DotCommunist]

I seem to remember when the idea of increased tax on people earning over 80k was deemed rank bolshevism, back ye olden days of last year.

Would be better if they passed on the savings to those working from home.

 

[frogwoman]

They can fuck off.

By their logic they should also tax me for cycling to work and bringing a packed lunch.
Should I also be taxed for bargain shopping, buying second hand goods and doing d.i.y?

Do we tax construction workers or handy men who work close to home?

They must surely know they are being twats. As mentioned before, probably have quite a lot of dosh invested in office / shop rental property etc. Wankers.

haha - tax people for shopping at Lidl and avoiding the extra vat they would have paid at Harrod’s

Exactly, they are not giving enough to the economy. Probably just walked to the local Lidi. You have to get on a train to get to Harrods, maybe a taxi or whatever, you might even pay one of your staff to pick up your shopping for you. The poor need to pay more taxes because they are not spending enough.

Tax on empty business properties.

I completely and enthusiastically agree. Oh wait, I misheard you. I disappointedly agree.
