Re: Any Help for Self Employed
This is one of the reasons why the Spanish economy is on the verge of collapse!!!
A property developer friend is owed 260,000 euro iva by the hacienda ,he had a meeting with them and they told him `off the record` not to persue it as they did not have the funds to refund him for at least 6 months!!!Very Scary

Are you saying Spanish people should buy more stuff to support the economy?

Consumerism is good for all, it boosts the economy and creates wealth and jobs
You dont have to buy into it if you dont like it.

it's almost like the myth that every day in Spain is hot & sunny, and that if it rains it falls mainly on the plain!

Spain must just be a beach to so many people in the UK, but then I guess why should they care?

I don't see this changing much in many western countries. All the labour intensive factory stuff is now long gone.

Did you know in the UK that if you add up those who qualify for job -seekers to the "ineconomically-inactive" figures (eg those who claim disability or sickness benefit instead of jobseekers) you get nearly 10 million ? Ok, so that figure includes some house wives and people who are so rich they don't need to work, but it's still frightening. Just shows how figures can be manipulated.
