Hi Everyone,

 

Another thread on the self employed stuff. Reason being I'm struggling to find some of the other threads that have passed so any links to those would be great.

 

Main questions are:

• how do I register?
  
• what insurances do I need as I will be subbing myself to other companies etc?
  
• is it worth getting an acountant? or are books fairly easy to keep yourself?
  
• can I claim back VAT on things purchased for work i.e. fuel, travel expences, new chains/ gear etc?
  
• any useful hints & tips?
  

Thanks alot for help that comes in guys

Hey Jack, you might want to ask them if they have employers' liability covering you. If they have you might not have to get any!

But as the guys said, public liability will cover you if you cause any damage or injury etc. On here Public liability insurance - Compare quotes | Simply Business you can look at different quotes next to eachother

Thanks for the welcome everyone! More knowledgeable on landscaping elements and interested in learning more about arboriculture and felling. Great to be here, have read a lot of interesting things already!

Great costumes! Beats the old bin liner any day

Thanks Mikeh How's the weather in the Midlands today?

Not sure if they cover for extreme sports but I think they do some sort of personal accident cover (not sure if that applies?)

But Public liability insurance - Compare quotes | Simply Business are good because they show you quotes from a few different insurers

Day or half day rate. Off hand I think £300 a day for a competent miller.

 

Its been a while since I read any threads about it.

Agreed, day or half-day rate works best IMO!

Horrible rain yesterday around London, anyone get caught in it?

Hello guys! Been browsing the forum for a while and thought it was about time I signed up! Good to be here
