well, i gave the LA my forms april 21st, CRB recd em on may 8th

cue tumbleweed rolling down the road....

so, in the spirit of determination, stuff it, ive applied for a job at a local factory ferrying the latvian/polish/bulgarian workers home in a 17 seater minibus, this doesnt require a PH/hack badge, or a PSV badge, or a plate, or a CRB check....

mad innit...

£8/hr.....

for sale, 55 plate tourneo....

note :- when i say im taking the poles (etc) home i dont mean warsaw...

Not if one of them is the driver.

well its a food factory working 24/7, they have 4 or 5 17 seater minibuses (all self drive hire co's) outside and are running their own workforce about

cant be PSV can it

certainly cant be taxi/PH, thats for sure

as for my stint as a taxi driver being short, i think "strangled at birth" is a better term but i gotta pay the rent somehow!

many thanks (not) to the CRB and LA....

No not if they aren't passing any money to the driver. You can drive a bus full of passengers as long as no one passes you any money you are ok to drive. If you look at some of the buses the Social Services run they are well over 8 seats, they don't have PSV drivers driving them.

I would be surprised if your council are not VAT registered, considering the amount of VAT they have to pay out.
If they don't charge VAT, they should not have mentioned it.
Why can't they obtain a VAT receipt for you?
