Looks promising, thanks. I'll call them on Monday.

Think he said he was going to Nice. Or maybe he said it was nice where he was...

Thought I had logged onto Facebook for a minute....
-
I was only 2% out! 😂😂

What's your category Peter? I'm using forestry and fishing at 10.5% Closest I could find to tree surgery / arb.

A little bed time reading for you Stevie 👍 https://www.gov.uk/vat-flat-rate-scheme/overview
-
It's £150,000 or less excluding vat.
-
If you can show it to the vat man when he asks to see it then yes. Don't think fuel would be classed as a capital asset somehow Johny😥
-
No you can't Steve. If your turnover is between certain amounts then you can apply to go on the flat rate scheme. You charge out at 20% as normal but only pay the vat man 10.5%. You don't need to keep receipts or add them up as the 7.5% difference is for your your purchases. If you buy an asset that cost £2000 or more including the vat, you can claim the vat back. If you buy a few assets that total £2000 Inc vat you can claim back as well. If you sell an asset you have to declare the vat. I can't dummie it down anymore than that!😂😂

I let my step mum aka book keeper sort it out! I know she had to set up a profit on vat account, as I wasn't paying as much vat as normal. You can only be on a flat rate scheme upto a certain turnover. Went on it when the recession started and turnover dropped, but getting close to having to come off it again now.

Have a tree felling job in Brighton on Thursday next week. A little out of my normal area and will need to off load some woodchip and wood. Can anyone help please? Cheers.....Al
-
It's done using a Picus Tomograph.
-
Unless you are making purchases just under the 2k all the time it doesn't matter, the difference in percentage more than allows for the purchases. I pay less vat on the flat rate scheme than on the normal scheme.

It's a burr Geoff. Wood turner would love to get hold of that!
-
What's with the curly bits in yours? Not seen that before.
-
Cheers. It had a couple of ganoderma brackets in the buttresses which I advised indicated decay, but the client wanted to retain the tree if possible as it was quite a feature. They are building multi-million pound house within falling distance do needed to be sure. £200 for a Picus test was nothing compared to what they are spending!
-
I've tried all sorts of jackets, and they all make me just as wet with sweat, might as well not worn one.
-
Cheers Paul. The picus test was done about 1/2 metre off the ground due to the large buttress roots. The decay was worse lower down as suspected.
-
Decayed Hemlock felled today.
-
Took the Hemlock down today. Was as decayed as the Picus said!
-
There is a setting that can be changed when plugged into a pc that cancels out all back ground noise.

Hi Steve Are you referring to the arborcom headset? I had some of these originally and like you had to send them away to be fixed. Came back, broke again, repaired again and then I sold them before they broke yet again Now use sena smh10 headsets. Way better, cheaper and can connect to up to 4 headsets.
-
Having a sunroof helps so you can see the tree from more than one perspective! Evoque with a panoramic roof is ideal.😂

Is that Sean on the lorry JB?

I wouldn't use wd40. Too oily and will attract dirt and grit to make a nice grinding paste! Carb cleaner works well as it evaporates.
