AYBABTU Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Trade at a loss..pay no tax on profits! How can you trade at a loss - and yet make profits...? Companies that trade at a loss - usually go bust (eventually)...that loss has to be covered at some point.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending how the companies are set up, if one was making lots of money the losses of the other could be offset to tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodStar Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Depending how the companies are set up, if one was making lots of money the losses of the other could be offset to tax. Indeed..and the brewery business is supposedly doing very well. I wonder what price the pub side of the business buys the beer at from the brewery side of the business.

dondada Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I cannot understand what people are complaining about - Thornbridge are taking over run-down pubs and revitalising them by installing quality beers and most often very good quality food. To take two examples, I would not have gone near The Greystones or The Stag in their previous guises. I can only speak of The Greystones, but now it has become a welcoming destination pub, with great beer and live music. It also provides a huge boost to the area in terms of passing trade and sociability. Same goes to the group who are changing round places like The Broadfield and The Old House. It's a winning formula, and I'd personally prefer some annoying brattish kids running around on a Sunday than being threatened by some knuckleheaded locals (to take The Broadfield as an example!). There was absolutely nothing wrong whatsoever with The Stag in its previous guise. Well, nothing that couldn't have been fixed by the scumbag owners not screwing the landlord to the wall so he had to leave. The food was restaurant standard, the beer good and with no idiots.

dondada Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I suspect the attitude towards Thornbridge is more to do with peoples dislike (Jealousy?) of Emma Harrison than the quality of their pubs/ales. Regards Doom Jealousy? No. Morality? Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
