I would say that the agreement/contract would supercede anything else.

When it has also been raised as to whether i.e "They are employed" or "Entitled national Minimum/living wage/holidays" then I think that it should be talked out.

Let us say that an office has an agreement in place that there is a 60/40 share of the takings - once the fuel is stripped out, as it is a cost. It can imo be argued that they (the office) should receive the higher percentage as maintenance is their responsibility/cost, which is fair enough.

We all know that if we received the VAT back from our fuel then we would all have more money in the pot/pocket e.g fuel @ £1.07 per litre, say £40 a time, is an additional £6.67 out of your pocket/takings and then claimed back. That could easily be done say 3 times a week, meaning that just over £20 a week is being claimed back by the operator i.e £1040 per year/per vehicle.

To simplify it let us say that the fuel is £5 a gallon = it is now a cost! However, out of that the operator gets back say £1 a gallon as a VAT return - the actual cost in reality is only £4 - the driver is not then getting his/her fair share as per agreement as the operator has now put it in his/her takings.I would guess estimate that it could be worth £400/500 ish per year to a driver

V AT thats a dead end ffs will you ever learn ............................stoopid question

From the man who is always saying that drivers should grow some b*lls....it then becomes a stupid question - when he has no answer!

So let us hear from the eternal fountain of knowledge as to why it is a dead end? and as to why it is a stupid question when a driver potentially stands to gain?

Do not be a total moron - try to put something constructive in your criticism Shoot me down if you must - but do it properly.

and TT each AL driver is effectively a franchisee therefore self employed under current rules the same as hairdressers ice cream sellers Mcdonalds managers etc.etc.

Your wrong according to the GMB Lawyers
