Oh dear, did I hit a nerve? Actually, I charge fees for helping people mitigate the problems they have with HMRC because, like you , they have misinterpreted the rules or taken their advice from someone else in the pub who doesn't understand. I loathe HMRC because when you deal with them on a...

For those setting up shops on Etsy and Ebay, dont forget that HMRC now receives details of shop accounts and is actively looking for cases of tax evasion. Setting up a shop will be deemed to be a business enterprise and HMRC will expect profits to be declared and the appropriate tax paid. Some...

Agreed.

Very interesting points there - I wasn't aware of them. But, and without mitigating these claims if true, the whole thing would carry a bit more weight if it wasn't written by someone quite so biased by such a biased magazine. Know what I mean? Again, not defending the GMG, but it'd be more...

Hysterical right wing media? You clearly don't watch the BBC or Sky.

Funny how Trump s getting stick for his alleged comments by the same people that stick up for Bill Clinton and his odious wife who are guilty of far worse,

Yes but the easy way to avoid this is to introduce slight design/spec differences so the items are not directly comparable. Also, dont use the same promo photos for your retail display and Etsy

Sale or return is a bad deal for the supplier because you have all the risk and the cost of stock production with the uncertainty of any sales. A better model would be a demo unit and offer a bespoke made to measure service, that way the supplier downside risk is minimised. If the range takes...

It is difficult to comment without knowing the nature of the product and where it is to be sold, but in general for bespoke products the retailers I have dealt with start off by adding 100% to cost and target a 50% margin on sales value (after vat), more if they think the product can command a...

I tend to agree. Having looked at the Hudsoncontract web site it seems that they charge £16 per operative per week i.e. £832 per year for providing an almost meaningless guarantee and acting as middleman between subbie and contractor and for dealing with the CIS verification process and monthly...

I dont see how using an agent absolves an employer from misapplication of the CIS rules. I also note that Hudsoncontract states "It's simple. If HMRC or an employment tribunal successfully challenges the status of the operatives on a Hudson contract, we will provide and pay for the legal team...

If you are employing self employed sub contractors under CIS and correctly verify the subbies prior to payment, I think HMRC would have a difficult job challenging their use. The protection offered by EEbs is illusory. As for a possible claim under an employment tribunal, again I think that if...

I bought a set of these a year or so ago and I am pleased with them. Whether they would stand up to professional use day in day out I can't say but for the hobbyist I think they are good value and it is very useful to know that you'll have a bit that will cut the size of hole you need. Of...

Comparison of the spend per head is meaningless in isolation. When you compare outcomes and see how countries that spend less per head than the UK have better survival rates for strokes, cancers and heart attacks you realise that the NHS model may not be fit for the 21st century and the blind...

The government has been printing money (QE) since the financial crash, devaluation and inflation are the inevitable result. There is an argument that Sterling was overvalued anyway. The Greeks would love to be able to devalue their currency but they can't, they are stuck in the Euro. It is...

I had a chat with a medical consultant at a christmas party who was banging on about the need for more money in the NHS. I said that if a Uk national required medical treatment abroad there was invariably a charge to the patient and/or an additional charge to the NHS from the country providing...

It is a pub that is built into the sandstone on which Nottingham Castle stands and is supposed to date from the time of the crusades. some of the rooms are actually caves that have been carved out of the sandstone. None of the Premiers in Nottingham are far from the the Trip which usually has a...
