This thread will be talked about for years to come  noooo:
On topic after five pages tho...  rubschin:

I know. Bloody incredible isn't it! eeek:
Hardly a post out of place...apart from Nick's rants, and my predictable ranting responses.


Look, I've been for a wet walk up me 'ill, and whilst thinking on me own it came to me, so no more worries like.  cloud9:

I really don't know what the hell was up with me this morning, really.  Shrugs:

Quite simply, I just calculate VAT @ 6.5 % (currently) on the total of all monies received before VAT, and send the VAT man that amount.
I think I must have been thinking i had to pay 6.5% of 15%, but that figure was coming out ridiculously low and thus causing me great consternation and gross bafflement.

Apologies and thanks for all the helpful input anyway. cloud9:

Amazing what a blast up 'me 'ill' can do ey? cloud9:

Mine was buzzing too. That's why I HAD to get out.
Within 2 minutes up 'me 'ill, it all became clear, unlike the pea souper and drizzle I was walking through. ::)

Whatever works to clear the head...... cloud9:

I had the most mind boggling meeting this afternoon - bloke talking at me for an hour and a half in jingo lingo and Americanisms at a speed of words that meant I was only able to catch about one in three of them.

Hadn't got a feckin clue until the end he handed me a whole heap of documents and said I had 2 days to complete them  noooo:

They are sitting on my desk at home now  . I am reviewing my options

(a) paper aeroplanes
(b) toilet paper
(c) wrapping paper
(d) Christmas decs
(e) loft insulation

The possibilities are endless  whistle:

Newham council appears to be paying me to read internal documents that no one in the Council seems to understand.

I don't understand them either, but as no one there has read them I can write  a fictitious but convincing report  angel1

Why not?
Fantastic entertainment.

Think I finally got it right anyway. happy088

Total sales + 15% + 5.5%, the 5.5% the bit that is payable, less the vat incured on my new van, but ONLY if its total value BEFORE vat was over ?2000, anything UNDER ?2000 purchase price for start up reasons HAS to be claimed on the first vat return only, but anything OVER ?2000 purchase price exc. vat can be claimed for anytime in the future.
Have I made that quite clear do you think? rubschin:
