    When I spoke to someone before, they said the point of sale fees are to cover the tests to make sure they're doing the right amount of additional testing for the amount of wood we sell in a year so they will get in touch and this is why it comes out seperate to our annual fee. I also called in today to see what the additional fees are as I was fairly surprised to see that and eventually got through and they said it's rare they charge "additional fees" but if you live outside the auditors area I.e. overseas.. and auditors need to stay over, it's to cover that cost.

    I agree with you there, I only looked on this forum for advice for tree surgeons and how to register. I'm not being naive at all just stating the facts which I've read up on various websites and been told from the horses mouth. I'll be reporting other people in my area because why should I pay and be lawful and them get away with it.

    Just ignore them and it will all die the death????? It's a law now, not voluntary 😂 I called and spoke to someone about the changes for us small people and the person I spoke to on the phone said that it's DEFRA that owns it now , Woodsure just administer it. I honestly can't fathom why they are getting so much hate when they're just doing a job they've been told to do? yeah I'm not chuffed about paying for it, but I absolutely agree that it should be enforced as many will get away with selling wet wood, this way we're all in a level playing field and things change all the time. It's it-for-tat and anyone else who doesn't register will getting caught out by our councils as I'm sure other people will dob them in and they'll end up being fined for the cost of what it now is to register. Plus the person on the phone I chatted with acknowled they know of the forums people write on so they can probably see all of your comments about them!
