Log sales what % goes to the black economy

Dave you are supposed to be the optomist I am supposed to be the pessamist or are we becoming realists:001_smile: there is another way of looking at it is you are better working and breaking even than doing nothing and making a loss. I think half the country is treading water waiting for the upturn

 

Must be the weather Steve ... plus I am getting sick of the sight of bl**dy wood

So I take it every single log you have sold has gone through your books and the tax man knows every single sale you have done.....

 

So what if other people are selling logs. And how can you say they are on the dole, if they were on the dole how would they get the core timber in the first place......

 

Maybe I'm missing something here.

 

all mine has gone through the books intentionally there are a load of tree surgeons around here and a couple of hauliers who do firewood and only take cash, for 6 years I have intended reporting them but I havnt managed to bring myself to do it yet. I know one of them did around 700 tons last year selling 2.5 cube £130
