Wow!

the problems I see are that that you are knowingly letting someone abuse the system and 2 you are making it harder for people that need to charge properly..........

1.Well he isnt the first and also for all I know he could be on universal credit and declaring his earnings? Who knows.

2.I price jobs to cater for what I need to charge for my overheads if someone else has bigger overheads than me then obviously they need to charge more.

£358 pay  £150 dayrate for me and a labourer so £158 profit ?

A lot of the firms where i live only pay £10 an hr for trades men.

£10 per hour is ok,  but £40  a day why not least pay minimim wage  even if he is claiming. (Thats a seperate issue)

 

Wouldn't make a huge difference to overall bill.

 

Don't you feel bad paying someone that? ?

Why should I pay him any more when the tax we all pay pays his dole as well 5 days a week at £40 so he gets £200 a week tax free cash his rent and council tax paid for by us and then his dole on top he's on a winner there is he not?

You think it's ok for me to contribute to his dole, rent, and council tax so that you can pay him £40/day?

I never understand why we get these threads where everyone has to put the boot in because someone is prepared to work for a low rate. 

 

Why can't we all charge what we want and not be condemned for it? 

Why?, because it's been explained that someone is claiming our hard earned money in benefits whilst being paid £40/day.

Maybe need to close this thread steve as starting to get silly,Eggsarascal please do not tell me you have never done a job for cash and not declared it to the tax man as its the same thing in my book,Simple fact there are parts in the uk where people charge different rates due to the cost of living simple fact.
