Digging and digging and digging. One other comment was I wouldnt use your kit cos I don’t self tan and her response was it is just there for those that do. How though? We were told it was sold out. Another comment - since deleted - had three replies all the exact same but written by three different people. This is beyond shady.
For someone so shady it’s clear why she needs to self tan constantly as those rays just ain’t getting in
So stop dm'ing her and instead comment, this coincidentally gives her an algorithm boost
Just be an adult Lydia and admit that your greedy scam failed. That's the only way to claw back a shred of dignity from the whole globy calamity.
Pathetic to hear a buisness going #bekind after they fucked up.
How often are these youtubers audited?Technically only home items that serve a purpose to their work. They would be able to save on things like their office furniture but not the tit she uses to style the shelves etc she could make some bills tax deductible like their broadband, internet, electrics, travel and car used for business purposes but things for the home like that lv trunk they won't regardless of how many times she posts pictures of it. Unless they have a dodgy accountant.
Technically they have to list everything they have received for free (including trips and holidays) as they could be liable to pay tax on said items if they had been gifted them instead of taking a payment from a company. It is all included in their personal allowance of £12,500.
She also should really include any sales from her depop but fat chance of her doing that
Not mean!!!
She has demonstrated that she can't survive 5 minutes in the real world! She's in a bubble, a different reality. She's pathetic.
Go and cry in the corner Lidl. If you were an employee you would have been sacked for this!
As it is, it's just a small ripple in her life.
Not sure but since it is still a relatively new industry but generates a heck of a lot of money, I would imagine they are watched quite carefully as the rules do keep changing for them although the rules are easily twisted to suit their agenda.
For example if an influencer is gifted something worth £5000 retail in exchange for them writing a blog post or making a video about it, they could have written in their contract the cost price instead so when they declare it they can pay less tax on it.
I highly doubt any of them declare even a fraction of their freebies /items given as a payment. Most accountants wouldn't even think to ask for things on that.
Remember when Lydia did a whole post about her accountant telling her off for buying a lux handbag and Lydia went on about how hard she works and that she deserves it. It's definitely in grey areas if she's buying a bag then posting a photo and claiming it as a business expense. HMRC are underfunded as it is, but they are likely to target one of these infuencers taking the piss to make an example of. It's pretty grim someone earning a good wage but still doing as much avoidance of tax as possible.
I would bet... never. They are all as bad as each other. Beggars and tax avoiders.
Was it Lidl or Josie or both who said they couldn't recall what was gifted and what they bought? I hope they are paying their accountants well because they must be the clients from hell.
If they don't and they get caught they are pretty fucked
She technically isn't allowed to write her Dior bag off even if she uses it for work and posts 100 photos of it, as it wouldn't be considered a uniform just an everyday piece of clothing.
Clothing expenses
You can claim allowable business expenses for:
- uniforms
- protective clothing needed for your work
- costumes for actors or entertainers
By law all influencers should be declaring the monetary value of all items gifted to them in lieu of payment, if they recieve an item unexpectedly say to their po box without any prior knowledge of it being sent they don't have to declare it however if they then use that item in videos or on instagram and then gain an income from that product they may have to declare it.
I wouldn't say there are many grey areas as there are some pretty straight forward rules regarding it, it's just that they twist the rules to suit themselves and have yet to be caught out for it.
They should keep every receipt and contract, that should clear up any confusion as I'd assume for either of them the pile of contracts would be a lot bigger than the pile of receipts.
This is a real disappointment. It’s the second (that’s been out on the internet anyway) hamper they have received from this company.This is disgusting
Why oh why are these places giving free food to twats that can actually AFFORD FOOD!
There are poor people struggling to put food on their table for their family and the moronic idiots get food for free
I personally couldn't accept this never mind showing off about it on social media
How about you tell these places to send it all to food banks etc. You are and all youtubers that accept food like this are a DISGRACE
YOU HAVE NO CONCIENCE AND NO MORALS!
DISGUSTING JUST DISGUSTING

I wish small business‘ wouldn’t give free food in return for exposure like this.
Someone with a heart would surely be willing to promote but for the food to be gifted to someone in with far greater needs.
Lidya appears to have to shame. She doesn’t eat veg.
By law there's lots of things they should do, but don't because they think they're above it all.
They all operate as limited companies right? And expenses are a bit different compared to self employed? My accountant wouldn't even let me expense the rent of a second bedroom as an office (she said it would be classified as income
). Maybe they have accounts that are pretty lapse and they don't bother declaring all the gifted things instead of payment. Lydia similarly said she gets gifted so much she can't remember and said it didn't matter as "normal" people don't care about things like that IIRC.“Tough time privately offline?” Lydia- since you clearly read here: WE’RE ALL HAVING A bleeping TOUGH TIME RIGHT NOW.
People are losing loved ones, losing their jobs or their businesses, struggling to pay their bills and put food on the table and you think you have it tough?
Get a bleeping grip of yourself. You put out a shitter of a product and asked £50+ for it simply because you felt like you could. You live in a house where no expense is spared as someone else will pay for anything your heart desires, you have your health and a husband who loves you. A team of people fawning over you. It doesn’t matter if this sorry excuse for a business isn’t successful as someone else’s hard work or your own materialistic greed will keep you in the lifestyle you have unfortunately become accustomed to. Just delete those nasty comments and bullshit that it was a success. It doesn’t matter. I’m sure your next tough time will be deciding what size Louis Vuitton trunk you need to beg for or maybe in deciding what shade of £50 paint you need to get the decorators in for to redo a wall you did six months ago?
Meanwhile those who have lost actual livelihoods here in the real world will wonder how they are going to bounce back from this, if at all.
You are where you all solely because you were one of the lucky few who makes it as an influencer. You make a pretty picture or video and put words on a screen. That’s it. If Instagram/YouTube became obsolete where would you be? Living back in the real world perhaps? However would you manage!
So cut the tit. Look around you. Recognise how bloody privileged you are. Sob stories aren’t going to work now. People are seeing through influencers and you are a perfect example.
Tough times? You don’t know the bleeping meaning of the word.

In the case of influencer work trading as a limited company or self employed doesn't make too much of a difference unless they go bankrupt. If they are are a limited company they are not held personally responsible for it. the rule of tax deductibles still aplies and any tools or equipment the purchase must solely be for their work to claim it as an expense. So they can't just go buy a bunch of clothes or furniture and claim it as a business expense (unless its office furniture) as they will be using it for personal use too.By law there's lots of things they should do, but don't because they think they're above it all.

Lydia is an idiot and I hope she as well as Josie and the many like them get caught.
Are you self employed, is the bedroom converted to an office for yourself? As I know you can't charge yourself rent (if that makes sense) in a house/flat you already own or live in.
Brave of you too, hope you're ok x x
Absolutely brilliant response. I really hope she reads this!
"Tough time private offline" Give us a damn break. Her content hasn't slowed down at all. She's just unable or unwilling to admit she made a mistake using cheap products as her first brand launch. I think she's seeing she got scammed herself. She probably does not allow product returns because she cannot return to the supplier. If she got returns, she'd have to burn it in her so-called "woodland."
In one of her vlogs when she first started talking about her launch, I can’t remember which one. She said people couldn’t ignore her anymore and would have to work with her, something along those lines
Yes! Ya know, if she did that... showed some humility, I really respect her more.
Well they are all clowns so I guess they can declare everything as costumes.If they don't and they get caught they are pretty fucked
