The Charity Tax Group and @CFGtweets have submitted Budget representations to @hmtreasury calling for an improved tax system for #charities in the aftermath of Brexit and COVID #charitytax 1/ https://t.co/mCiCpSQj2g

Existing charity tax reliefs should be protected & tax compliance and administration simplified. Protecting existing business rates & VAT reliefs is crucial as is future-proofing tax systems and legislation #charitytax #budget2021 2/
COVID-related support measures, such as the #JobRetentionScheme, #ExpandedRetailDiscount & temporary #5percentVAT rate on hospitality, hotel & holiday accommodation and admissions have helped many charities * should continue where possible while lockdown restrictions continue 3/
We call on Government to review the structural distortions caused by the VAT system resulting in significant #irrecoverableVAT for #charities. We also call on the Government to protect VAT reliefs and exemptions in the aftermath of Brexit #charityvat /4 https://t.co/tmYEtciBmB
We call on the Government to protect #charity #businessrates relief in England (worth almost £2bn) following the recent “Fundamental Review”. Compliance measures are important but should be targeted and proportionate #budget2021 /5 https://t.co/RVfmk6nzDQ
Government should continue investing in the Future of #GiftAid project to help ensure Gift Aid is fit for the digital age, including, where relevant allowing minor changes to legislation. Automation can increase Gift Aid claims and reduce errors /6 https://t.co/YewWDqKjPi
Government must adopt a flexible #subsidycontrol system post-Brexit to ensure that that charities with large property portfolios do not miss out on essential #businessgrants (worth £millions), designed to help mitigate the impacts of lockdown /7 https://t.co/2Fk8HLYxmv
To support #charities recover from COVID-19 and the shutting of charity shops and fundraising events, the Government should consider a temporary increase in the value of #GiftAid, incentivising giving in the process 8/ https://t.co/vHLzVNdtoa
Aside from these core policy asks we also call on Government to bring forward the review of #advertising and the associated tax treatment for #charities, extending the VAT zero rate to #socialmedia advertising #charityvat 9/ https://t.co/KykxFfSpMK
To recognise the unprecedented impact of #COVID19 charities have also asked for an extension of the 9 month time limit for payment of Gift Aid payments from trading subsidiaries to parent charities /10
In addition, we reinforce our response to the Government's #PlanningfortheFuture consultation in calling for the charity exemption to the #CommunityInfrastructureLevy to be retained if the Tariff is replaced /11 https://t.co/NEFivnIJ0v
To avoid the #ApprenticeshipLevy simply becoming another tax that many charities cannot make full use of, we have also called on the Government to extend the Levy to training and/or volunteer costs /12
In a similar vein we also call on the Government to review the appropriateness of #InsurancePremiumTax on charitable activities and to commit to no further increases /13
Lastly the submission calls on the Government to extend the funding for the #ListedPlacesofWorshipGrantScheme in advance of considering the reinstatement of a suitable charity listed buildings tax relief now that EU VAT rules are no longer an obstacle to this #charityvat /14

Ok here is the explanation. Grab a cup of coffee and read on. If you have not read/noticed this, you will see intraday options movement in a new light.


Say we have two options, one 50 delta ATM options and another 30 delta OTM option. Normally for a 100 point move, the ATM option will move 50 points and the OTM option will move 30 points. But in a high volatile environment, the OTM option will also move nearly 50 points

To understand why this happens, first understand why an ATM option is 50 delta. An ATM option has the probability of 50% of expiring as ITM. The price just has to close a rupee above the strike for the CE to be ITM and vice versa for PEs

Now think of a highly volatile day like today. If someone is asked where the BNF will close for the day or expiry, no one can answer. BNF can close freakin anywhere, That makes every option of an equal probability of being ITM. So all options have a 50% probability of being ITM

Hence, when a huge volatile move starts, all OTM options behave like ATM options. This phenomenon was first observed in the Black Monday crash of 1987 at Wall Street, which also gave rise to the volatility skew/smirk

There is no better way of learning the craft of product, or proving your potential to employers, than just doing it.

You do not need anybody's permission. We don't have diplomas, nor doctorates. We can barely agree on a single standard of what a Product Manager is supposed to do.

But – there is at least one blindingly obvious industry consensus – a Product Manager makes Products.

And they don't need to be kept at the exact right temperature, given endless resource, or carefully protected in order to do this.

They find their own way.
