Lockdown diaries - COVID-19 matters!

[Resistance]

And seeing ARYANTO on Google ...
SARS Commissioner Edward Kieswetter said the losses in tax revenue from beer and alcohol in April were:

• R664 million lost in excise duties from beer.
• R300 million lost in excise duties from wine.
• R400 million lost in excise duties from spirits.
• R300 million lost in duties from cigarettes.

“So, year to date, our under recovery from these activities is R1.5 billion and we’re just through the first month,” said Kieswetter.

As long as they get paid what do they care. With that figures and people still living in shacks you wonder alot what's happening with it. And then there's unemployment.
They could have used some of that funds to start something beneficial for the economy ,but capitalism rejects that option.

Yeah I think they need to reconsider this lockdown though.
Alot of what is being forced on us doesn't seem to be thought out properly.
Becoming somewhat totalitarian.

Nevermind the financial impact which most of us will never live long enough to recover fully from. Maybe our grandkids will see the economic recovery. We won't, neither will our kids.

Once your down 'n broke there's only one way forward and that's up.

Good morning everybody , there is nothing new to complain about -yet , It was another all niter , not tired ,too stressed about financials [I know different but my mind goes on it's own mission , like worst case etc...] - Interesting question , If UIF pay your salary via your employer , do you pay tax on it again or is it straight into your pocket ? Imagine paying UIF on money from UIF as well. I think too much.

Not too sure (as in don't have experience) but I believe they pay you directly.

Forget the virus, what if your neighbour was binging on some extra hot biryanis before got locked up.

Edit : @Dela Rey Steyn we know what has been on your menu these last few weeks. No crossing provincial borders for you.

MY BROADBAND :
All South African employees must wear masks at work: labour minister
SA News3 May 2020


With a number of workers set to return to work from Monday under level 4 of lockdown, the Labour Department has drafted the minimum guidelines for employers to ensure the workplace is safe for returning employees.

These guidelines come as government gradually reopens the economy under level 4 of lockdown while ensuring that the spread of Covid-19 is contained.

Under these guidelines, returning employees must wear masks at work. Employers must also require members of the public entering a workplace to wear masks.

@ARYANTO its the UIF TERS benefit that is free from SDL, UIF and tax bud. Your employer can pay either a lower salary and claim an additional amount to make up the loss from UIF. And then claim the entire amount from UIF if you are not getting any salary during the lockdown. Entire amount I don't mean your entire salary unfortunately.

Not too sure (as in don't have experience) but I believe they pay you directly.

Your employer will need to setup a dedicated account (although not always the case) for these payments to go into when it comes from UIF. The employer then has a limited time to distribute these funds to their employees.

Good and valid point.
The way it looks.

The way I see it.
If I see a light at the end of the tunnel there's a way out.
Follow the light

Beautiful sunset. Went to check in on my mom. We social distanced and had a cup of coffee in the garden. It was just what we both needed.

Day 39,
Can someone explain to me why on earth should we waste money on fumigating or spraying bleach water in offices before people can come back to work? Is the bloody virus dormant and waiting for them to come back to work
I’m already missing the Level 5.

I think its more for peace of mind. People feel more at ease when something is done rather than nothing.

The same with schools. Principals were ordered to return to schools to coordinate sterilisation of classrooms. Nobody has been there for over a month.

Fresh batch of Guava Beer. Don't know what those people brewed with. But I'm still here, don't worry guys!
