I had a go one year. Got as far as registering with the SA tax authorities. They welcomed me and said an official would ring me within four weeks. I am still waiting.

It is mentioned, late on in the statement. You are almost right. Not scrapped but mothballed.

No mention of vets. What a surprise.

No mention of new contracts. Hold the Front Page!

PS. The article has come up separately on my Google feed so you will be able to check the essence for yourself before being asked to pay.

He is a newspaper executive and one-time proprietor who has made a bid for Reach in the past.

The article claims he has backing for a bid, and is putting in his own money. It claims many journalists will be sacked and that there is great potential for other cost savings by rationalising Mirror and Express operations and services.

Can post article but you would have to pay to read it.

I guess we will see if there is anything in this story at 0800 on Monday!

.......according to Daily Telegraph online. David Montgomery (again!). £450m cf current valuation of £220m.

Nice, if the story is right.

New digital tool.....not us I assume....?

A dreary update this morning.

Abd, again, no mention of India. Spooky.

Chinese tariffs on American coal imports....surely good for Thungela...?

You are right (see notice below). But it's a £2m contract shared between 81 suppliers!

It's OK. I've got it. One's JSE the other's LSE

Anyone else scratching their head about this? Dividend Max which I rely on for all dividend dates has consistently said 23rd September.

But I've discovered another narrative that says 7th October.

And I haven't been paid yet, although that in itself is not unusual a payment has to go through a number of recipients before it gets to me.

Anyone know for sure which is the correct date?

Thanks

Anyone know

Tempting. I've already got plenty..unfortunately. And to think it hit 30 in the not too distant past

Nm

I cant get a quote from IG either. I'm riging them, and hanging on....!

It was tipped in The Sunday Times, in the Business Section,

Thank you to The Clive for his helpful input.

For me it is worthwhile to apply Income tax rather than CGT because , unfortunately, I have tax losses from prior years that I can offset against gains.

For those who are taking a prurient interest in my Don Quixote-like tangle with the SA tax authorities, I have news.

My registration has been accepted, with no questions asked, and i have had a Live Chat. I am promised a phone call within 21 business days from a "consultant" who will tell me how to reclaim the WT. I remain sceptical but, hey, it's better than walking the streets.

I've never been able to understand why, if the asset is "world class", it's always been so difficult to secure external funding. Is it because the asset is not what it's cracked up to be or because the economic abd financial situation in SA is more cracked up than it should be?

Yup. If I make any substantive progress I will let you know.

Yes. I hear everyone's pain.

Well, amazingly, i have made a start. I have registered on the site and submitted the documents asked for and receipt has been acknowledged! Let's see what happens next although please don't think I am optimistic.

Thanks for the response.

I am registered as a sole trader, my business being share trading. So trading gains/losses count as income alongside dividends, PAYE earnings, pension, interest etc. I cam also offset income against prior year trading losses. So if it turns out that I don't have to pay tax in 23/4, or at least not much, the my thinking is that i could reclaim the tax paid in SA (I assume there is a double taxation agreement with the UK.)

anyway, more in hope than expectation, i have registered on www.sars.gov.za to see if i can make any progress
