There are 350 drivers on the PH circuit I am on, at a guess I would say that 70% of those rent their cars at £130 per week and pay £95 per week settle to earn £1.40 per mile.

but its their choice obviously

im suprised a base let you have a radio at half price when you can also sit on a rank which a PH cant do, to make up income when times are lean, and take flag downs.

1 car 1 radio 1 price

I couldn't agree more.

If you are on a circuit you should pay the same as the next person.

Anyway this is the point I really care about. Also if you are paying reduced rates where do HC get off barging into a PH office and complaining about no shows as if it is the telephonist fault. The only way to guarantee that your fare will be there when you pick up is to get them off the street

I think he is talking about PH settling cars @ £130.00 per week not HC you couldn't settle a HC for that much. Our system is similar in so far as there is approx. 350 drivers mostly owner drivers though and about 70 of them are HC at reduced rates which is the bit that pi$$es me off

have you ever calculated the CASH income every monday morning off 350 rents, plus whatever the base creams off account work?

Yes I have and I have also accessed the info from co house. I am aware of the income and the outgoings and I am now curious as to why they cannot reduce settle during this difficult time but hey as has been said before we here know what needs to be done it's just a case of getting everybody to stick together to achieve it and in this area it's not guaranteed that they will

You should be asking what has happened to the two-and-half per cent reduction in VAT that makes up your rent.

I know but I thought I'd just ask for a VAT receipt for the settle I've paid this year and see what they say as to why they shouldn't have to. I think it'll go along the lines of 'what do you want that for your not VAT registered'

not the point

if you arent you STILL need it for your accounts and if they are vat regd the reciept must show vat and thier vat number for them to be able to charge it

i cant believe a self employed owner driver isnt getting a record of paying out (say) £100 and thereby (possibly) having to stand the tax on it (£1000 a year) themselves, get real guys!

if HMRC check then decline the rents as allowable cos theres no reciept and backdate it 6 years thats £6000 they will want

and if you think anythings amiss.....

VAT fraud

If a business charges you VAT it must be VAT registered and must declare any VAT it charges to HMRC.

Some businesses deliberately avoid registering for VAT, thereby gaining an unfair advantage over their competitors. Others may either be bogus or may lie about the amount of VAT that they owe.

You might know that a business is not declaring all the VAT they're charging, or you might think that they're not because they:

* ask you to pay them in cash and are reluctant to provide an invoice
* request that payment is made to someone other than the business
* offer a discount for cash and are reluctant to accept cheques or credit cards
* offer goods for sale at substantially below market value
* put money into an open till drawer without ringing up a sale

If they fail to give you a receipt then ask HMRC for their 'advice' about how you should reflect it in your accounts. After all, you're only trying to be honest and support all the information you send in with evidence. You may find that your receipts will miraculously arrive a little later!

What say the rest of the scholars hereupon?
