I don't want commercial work though, my client base is 90% domestic. I don't want the hassle that comes with commercial work.

When I employed someone I had to charge more, this was to cover ppe, holidays and national insurance/tax contributions. Over a 12 month period it added up to quite a lot which pushed me to the vat limit.

As someone who uses labour only contractors I'm in a similar position, I use a guy 4/5 days a week when I need him, I can't afford to employ him as that would put me over the vat limit so he invoices me and I pay the invoice. The problem is I don know if he will pay the tax or his NI, I am asking him for his UTR number when we go back and seeing if he is even registered, I don't want to loose him As he is a good worker. Any ideas? Sorry for the thread hi jack:)

I was just asking, plenty of people try to avoid it. I would speak to your accountant, I had a lad who worked when I needed him, he used to do 3 days then he may only do 1, in the eyes of the tax lot I should have been employing him, my argument was that I don't all ways have the work to sustain him. I now use a couple of different lads and if the tax man comes asking I will take it up with them then. A lot of my mates are builders and are in the cis scheme, maybe there should be something similar for our job. You could all ways ask the guy u work for just to make sure he has your utr number and then if they do say anything they have proof you are paying the tax as you can be traced. As for NI, you should be paying this monthly yourself so you are covered there. The other way round it could be not to invoice the employer for days worked but jobs worked? Just an idea:)

And you need to be able to prove that you have been operating for that length of time.

You should take a look at the Deeds to your house as often there can be covenant prohibiting operating from home.

My company was faced with the same problem. You say you don't like it as you get paid less but you don't because the tax and NI he takes off you will be deducted from the tax you owe so should work out the same, or are you not paying tax?? I went through the same and ended up employing the lad, after a year I had to lay him off as by employing him put me over the vat limit.

I had the same problem, the council served me with an enforcement notice as they said I was operating from home without permission.

Now husky have sorted the problems out they are a stinking saw! I sent mine back and got an ms 362 until it was sorted, I now have the husky back and its awesome. Get one. -
I thought this was going to be a joke? I can't find the punch line though?

My 346 XP has a blue coil, well I think it's the coil, under the starter cover at the front with wires coming from it?? The tach came today, nice bit of kit, wireless too:)

Welcome to the forum. If you are paying £1100 quid for an artic load of timber, work out your cost from there, cost of labour and fuel to cut and split, bagging costs and delvery, add on your profit and that's how much you should sell them for. Up here a net of hardwood is around 3.75-4 I'm a garage.

I will ask him, thanks.
-
Cheers, I will ask him but I think the price will be a bit high. Thanks anyway.
-
Does anyone do wholesale bulk bags of seasoned hardwood? I have a customer wanting maybe 10-20 bags. PM me please with info. I know its a long shot but I said I would try:)
-
Cheers spud, I ordered the tach today from the company suggested. Thanks for the info.

I really want to be able to tune my own saws, I have a good mechanical knowledge as I many moons ago I trained as a mechanic, I just don't know where to get the right information from, there are so many articles on the web. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks in advance.
