Diary of a Small Business Owner: 3 staff out 1 on holidays, 2 sick All getting paid Diesel’s gone up Monthly toll bill now €630 “Need to up prices…” But for every €1 increase, ~25c goes on VAT + Stripe fees. Generated ~€300k in taxes last year. Still can’t get a mortgage. The more I understand how Govt spends our taxes, the deeper the despair. Genuinely, what is the point?
