Hi all

Went to view a job Saturday morning, to build a chicken run,

I've just emailed the quote over now,

Does it annoy you when you get this response?

 

 

Hi Josh,

 

Many thanks for the quote, I will contact you again once the other quotes are in and we have come to a decision.

 

Any reduction for cash?!!!

 

Regards

 

John

 

 

... My reply was,

Thanks for the quick reply, I've given you my best price be it cash or cheque,

 

Do people think if I offer the builders merchants cash they will do it cheaper 😕👎?

 

Rant over

Josh

I get this all the time. I always respond the same way as you did, by stating that it would be the same either way. As it all goes to the bank so that my books balance. In all honesty I'm not clever enough to juggle cash payments to dodge the tax. I'm better off just putting it all in the bank. It only goes on takeaways if I do bring it home.

If nothing else, you don't know what the client does for a job.

 

I have heard tale of a tax inspector who was a bit of a git. Whenever he had a tradesman come round to give a quote for whatever work - he would always do the any discount for cash line.

 

Unfortunately, he would also follow up with a tax inspection if any of the tradesmen took the bait...
