Oh my god! Anyone read the daily mail????

Hm revenue and customs are trying to put up tax for cosmetic surgery particularly boob jobs meaning we would have to pay 1000 more for a ba!!! It’s expensive enough as it is!! Glad I’ve paid for mine already!! Would post the link but I’m on my phone!

why are they trying to do this?? x

It’s shocking!! People struggle enough to afford to pay for a ba!! X

This is fucking disgusting in fairness. You should read all the comments on that article too- they’re all for it. Thank god I had mine when I did. x

That George Osbourne is an ugly too. He’s probably only done this cos he’s pissy at all the woman (cosmetically enhanced or otherwise) that have turned him down. Rant over.

Unless people re having it done themselves they can’t understand cosmetic surgery!! Grrrr!!! We are doing it for pschological reasons as well as just physical !! X

I want further surgery in the future which will most likely be effected by this!!! X

As much as this annoys me I think we all need to remember with all the cuts that are happening in the uk this is a tiny issue. At the end of the day we choose to have cosmetic surgery, and e eryone is currently loosing out in some way, jobs, benefits, housing, wage etc.

I understand more than anyone the psychological reasons to having cosmetic surgery and hate that when people find out I have had a boob job they laugh and expect me to be some bimbo wanting to become a footballers wife or something. But unfortunately there are worse things going on. I just think myself lucky that I have been able to just about afford a ba to feel better about myself.

This is Outrageous! MORE women will go to turkey or where ever To avoid vat then when it goes wrong the NHS will end up footin the bill mark my words xx

Hush that’s exactly what my boyfriend said!!! It will become more appealing to pay 2 grand or whatever it is abroad and end up having a botched job! I don’t agree with the new taxing at all it’s not as if we are expecting the tax payer to pay for our boobies! We are funding it ourselves! Well only Time will tell on this one x

And when will this be taking place? I havent paid for mine yet as im having mine in January and knowing my luck ill get the exta thousand added on to it

Gosh thats disgusting. They do things like this and then wonder why everyones iin debt! Agree with you hush, so many mistakes are going to be made xxx

i have got my deposit to pay next week and i have got a loan so my procidure isnt payed for yet as the loan taked 24 months to pay off does this mean the thousand will be added im sligtly confused now as i didnt know about this

xprincessemzzix – dont think anyone knows 100% what will actually happen and when this is going to be fully inforced. ring MYA and see if they have any news about this xx

Technically if you have a loan you’ve paid it off, it’s just the loan company or finance that you owe x

oh haha lol i can be slow at times new to these things haha but yay thats good tho thanks x

Not only boobs many women will opt to have othere surgerys out of the uk and end up lookin like Micheal jackson its completely out of order x x

What crap news. Heres hoping we all get ours paid for before that is enforced. And the comments from those ghastly DM readers!!! Bunch of stuck up, boring bastards they are. Left my two pennies worth…got thumbs down for it, surprise surprise! 😈

i have the daily mail app on my phone i love it, but i never click on the comments anymore cause they make me angry a bunch of over opininated dimwits that dont have a clue about the topic thinking they are right! grrrr x

Hahaha laurakate!!xxx

One word…..w**kers…..that’s all I have to say x

i agree with u hush, its fucking rediculous we pay enough now why the fuck would anyone want to pay more tax on a ba , would deffinatly go abroad if this goes ahead!! xx

I would think that if you’ve already been quoted a figure by your patient co-ordinator and have received a letter saying you must pay that amount by a particular date, then they cannot make that figure any higher suddenly, as it’s already been agreed by you and MYA.

Also both MYA and we (patients) put our signatures at the bottom of a contract confirming the agreed payment amount, so I highly doubt they’d ask anyone to pay an extra thousand pounds all of a sudden if they’ve already agreed to a sum of money with you.

After all, as a company I’m sure they understand that a lot of us have been saving specifically for this for a while, and cannot just russle up an extra £1000 whenever we want!

think this is NOT a good idea at all, there are many people including myself who have gone through hell for years hating the way they looked not been able to have a normal happy relationship with a partner, even been so down that they cant do “normal” activities such as swimming as their appearance botheres them so much! i myself had counselling, was offered to see a psycologist…but would have to wait 1 year to even speak to them!! i have finally managed to have my operation and after all those years of unhappiness i can finally enjoy the life i wanted! its hard enough as it is having to wait to save up for surgery for us that needed it for psycological reasons so putting more tax on this will not help those people at all.

said my bit lol!! x

maybe they should think more about adding tax onto things like cigerettes and alchol of which the health effects cost the NHS billions of pounds each year. Or, stop taking so much from the hard working… but, for our WEAK government, it’s much easier to sting the innocent.

The worst pair is ur payin for the surgery with wages that have been taxed then ur gettin taxed again! this will put the surgery out of reach to some ladies its simpley not fair x
