  1. makes no difference they just don't pay any tax! Just register for CIS and you will be on 20%.
  2. letter detailing all the faults (in case you need it in court). tell him via phone to fu** himself. £1000 for 2 days work. Having a laugh after messing you about for 3 months. I'd have paid him £300 150/day and not a penny more. so much scum 'tradesman' about.
  3. you are probably too late to re-invoice as CIS has to be paid by the 5th on the following month.
  4. They dont have a choice and are breaking the Law if they DONT stop the CIS. You havent actually lost anything as its tax you will be paying anyway any surplus HMRC will return.
  5. we use the dewalt 54v one for fencing/roofing. You can rapid charge the 54v battery faster than once can be emptied. Great bit of kit. No smoke/noise/smell.
  6. cant pay the secretary divvies though !
  7. shares can be allocated to other family members as well so they can receive a dividend. Especially if the mrs doesnt work.
  8. register for VAT, can reclaim a fair few years worth of purchases on your first return. Little machines do hold their money well mind so you may not lose as much as you think. Losses are tax deductable ..
  9. HMRC decide what your stopped as I said earlier. good record of paying tax and can demonstrate high 4 figures in the bank and you will get 0% no problem.
  10. Should glabal warming really exist, and im not convinced. If you boil it all down there is too many people on the planet. Before electric everyone burned fossil fuels for cooking/heating. We do the same now but more efficiently. Is any of this going to change ? No.
  11. just think of it as your hard earned tax being given to feckless scum to watch sky tv in their free house. Labour is great.... I try not.
  12. cant reclaim the vat on their bills either......
  13. as a main contractor i get this a lot. People who do regular work for builders and have a few quid in the bank are mostly on 0% CIS. Most though on 20% which means HMRC dont trust you to pay your tax in full and ontime. It really doesnt matter to me as the bill is the same irrespective, the subbie gets to borrow the tax man some cash. I know a sparky who had a £15k fine for repeatedly putting everything down as materials thinking he was somehow getting one over on the taxman. He thought wrong.
  14. they dont need gas all electric. they are a different tool than a gas gone as they do have a lot of recoil. A lot heavier as well. You know youve done a day putting ceiling joist noggings in with one thats for sure.

    DBS Check

    I've had s shotty cert since I was 15. Age is nothing to do with it, if you have a need and can justify it and as long as they have no reason to say your a nutjob lunatic then you will be granted one. Whether an individual plod likes you or not is irrelevant.
  18. Have the pas im350 and dewalt electric first fix. Both are not the right tool for closebaord fencing runs me think, too heavy, nails too expensive for qty applications and 50mm min size is too long. So what does everyone else use to shoot 38mm stainless ring shanked ? Looking like compressor time..
  19. if the tree is accidentally killed by plant, geniune mistake. fine paid. everyone happy. your in dreamland if you think plod would prosecute POCO for a bloody tree!
  20. ok i didnt tell you this. buy 2 or 3 mini diggers new, the ones that people on here are all after. around the 12-13k mark. 100% deducatable and can keep them on the books to depreciate. Sell them the month after for cash reddies. Never known an accountant go and visit site to count diggers when doing the books.
  21. if your every over to the emerald isle for a shandy or 2, when you come back these chaps have a stall in the airport. Best sausage and offell you will ever taste. https://www.clonakiltyblackpudding.ie/
  22. paddy white pudding has a good peppery kick to it. no big lumps of fat either. lovely.
  23. the irish black pudding is far superior. They use grain in it. lovely.
