Bastard!

I suspect they will probably question it the next time I do my tax return.

"Err, Mr Brogan, is this entry related to e-services of any sort?"

 

[cider_and_toast]

Don't joke about it, the HMRC love low hanging fruit

 

[Brogan]

Indeed.
The only people who get any sort of deal or let off by HMRC are big companies and rich/famous people.

The average Joe will be hammered to the full extent of the law every time.

Are your image rights worth anything? Brogan Ltd ??

Being VAT registered just makes you an unpaid tax collector for the government, you get fuck all benefit for your services either in fact sometimes it can cost you income especially in the building game because clients either expect you to knock off the VAT for cash in hand or they take their business to a builder who isn't VAT registered...

I was self employed until recently and always had to pay the VAT bill on time, even though the supplier could be paying me up to 90 days late, which they always managed to stretch out as long as possible of course.. Grrr.

Good luck getting through!!!

So nothing has changed at the moment.... when does this legislation come into effect?

 

[Brogan]

January 1 2015.

 

[Mephistopheles]

So that's it then? The whole fucking worlds gone mental....

 

[rufus_mcdufus]

I notice a lot of chatter on music sites like bandcamp as well. This is pretty far reaching.

 

[Brogan]

It will affect hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people.

Hardly anyone is aware of it.

 

[Mephistopheles]

And they probably won't even notice it on a 99p download, back door taxation at its best...

 

[Titch]

So I've just upgraded , hopefully in time.

Two Words - Fucking mental. Only civil servants (who are supposed to be working for the public and in our interest) could devise such a crap piece of legislation and implement it so poorly.

Just gobsmacked

 

[Brogan]

Indeed.

Given the opportunity, I'd do a bit of gobsmacking myself.
