Behold: the Ferrari GTB/4, aka, the Daytona – a rare and desirable sports car indeed. In its day, the GTB/4 was the fastest and costliest Ferrari ever built, capable of a staggering 281km/h.
But not just any old GTB/4. This is an ultra rare original 1967 prototype (one of four) and one of a pair presented at the 1968 Paris Auto Salon. After the show, it was gifted to a Ferrari Works driver, before being converted to its current Spyder configuration in the 1970s.
Currently on sale from Sports Classic London in mint condition.
Price on request.

Taxing PUP

While expected tax liability should be modest in most cases for recipients of TWSS & PUP, today’s decision welcome nonetheless. We will continue to work to minimise financial hardship, to the greatest extent possible, on taxpayers challenged by #COVID19 https://t.co/Hn4tOmbqoJ pic.twitter.com/HSypO7iXjY

This afternoon.
The Department of the Taoiseach, Merrion Street, Dublin 2.
Minister for Finance, Paschal Donohoe TD provided an update on the Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme, and announced details of the taxation of amounts received by employees under the Temporary Wage Subsidy Scheme and Pandemic Unemployment Payment.
Meanwhile…
what is the Legal basis for Revenue to tax PUP paid prior to 1 August 2020 ? given that Prior to that date, PUP was paid under S202 of the SWCA 2005 as an ‘Urgent Needs Payment’. Urgent payment are not libel for tax…
