Cumbrian flood claims top £200m
January 23rd, 2010 admin
The cost of damage caused by last November’s flooding in Cumbria has topped £200 million. According to the Association of British Insurers (ABI), its members have handled 36,000 flood and storm damage claims totalling an estimate £206 million, with 60% of the sum relating to business damage. Interim payments made by insurers to homeowners and firms have ranged from £250 to £400,000, and alternative temporary accommodation has been necessary for 470 policyholders whose flood-damaged properties were left uninhabitable until repairs were carried out.

Idaho Commerce - Business News and...MUCH LIKE WITH INDIVIDUALS, HOW MUCH A BUSINESS PAYS IN TAXES DEPENDS ON WHERE IT IS LOCATED. THATʼS ONE REASON STATE AND LOCAL TAXES ARE IMPORTANT FACTORS WHEN A COMPANY IS LOOKING TO RELOCATE. BUSINESSES NEED TO CREATE A COMPLETE COST PICTURE WHEN CONSIDERING A NEW LOCATION, AND TAXES ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF THAT PICTURE. PROFITS CAN BE EATEN AWAY BY TAXES SUCH AS WORKERSʼ COMPENSATION AND PROPERTY TAXES. ALSO, A COMPANY THAT TRUCKS MOST OF ITS RAW MATERIALS AND GOODS WILL WANT TO PAY ATTENTION TO FUEL TAXES. OTHER TAXES TO CONSIDER INCLUDE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE AND WHETHER A STATE CHARGES A BUSINESS AND OCCUPATION TAX. STILL, TAXES ARE JUST PART OF THE PICTURE. IF IDAHO DIDNʼT HAVE THE RIGHT LIFESTYLE ELEMENTS, SEMICONDUCTOR FIRM COMTECH AHA WOULDNʼT HAVE CONSIDERED MOVING THERE. BUT A LOW CRIME RATE, GREAT OUTDOOR RECREATION AND A FAMILY-FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT MADE THE LOCATION ATTRACTIVE. WITH ITS LOWER TAXES, THE MOVE TO IDAHO MADE GOOD BUSINESS SENSE AS WELL.
