Re: Tax return time
Thanks for the pointers Mikey, I was considering reducing the payments on on account, although looking at the numbers I reckon next tax year is going to be the same or higher income again, so it could just be kicking the can down the road.

Re: Tax return time
Self assessment time again :? Good news is that my self-employed income went up considerably in the 24-25 tax year :mrgreen: bad news being that my tax payments, and 25-26 payments also do too :cry:
I far preferred when I was a VAT registered Ltd Co, because of the necessity to keep on top of ...

Re: Bye Bye Rachel Reeves
Because an accountant would advise on regulatory financial compliance and tax laws, which I would assume covers licensing, and if not would at least recommend she gets legal advice. Her apology suggests she did it herself.
Tax, yes - but I would not expect any accountant to give advice or ...

Re: Randomness
Didn't feel this was worthy of it's own thread, however a friend of mine is raffling a S1 land rover for £20 a ticket in case anyone fancies a punt

Re: Harry’s Garage
@mikeyb My last trip to Skye was in a big (7m long) motorhome too. Which was 8-) but also :(
Good news on the V8 front though 8-) Shout if you want an opinion on a VXR8 :D
Our motorhome was based on a Ford Transit and I was impressed with how it handled. However seeing some twisties I did ...

Re: Harry’s Garage
I've just returned from a roadtrip oop north that resembled a very similar route to that taken by Harry, albeit mine took in Skye and after reaching Tongue, headed due south to Lairg and then over to the Cairngorms and back to Cumbria. Unfortunately I didn't do it in anything exciting (a motorhome ...
Re: 2016 335D
I had a 2016 330d X-drive. The N57 engines have a good reliability record but bottom end failures are starting to become more common on 335ds. I had no issues on mine, I owned it for 3.5 years and did about 70k miles. Only needed consumables.
2016 was the first year for LCI, so better headlights ...

Re: Advice needed - Facebook Marketplace
We only do cash with marketplace, there's always some scammer knocking if it's an item of any value. They're not very subtle though, always want to do some shit involving PayPal.
However if you've found them on LinkedIn etc it sounds pretty low risk. I've been pretty trusting when buying stuff ...

Re: Advice needed - Facebook Marketplace
I'd be cautious simply because facebook marketplace is the wild west with no recourse if things go tits up. Althohgh it makes sense that he'd want them dropped somewhere because moving sets of wheels around is a PITA. However, if you drop them at the wheel place and get payment via BACS before ...

Doesn't sound that weird to me - although I would have thought he'd pay you before you release the good?
Take pics of you at the wheel refurb place with your boot open showing the wheels (and one where your reggie is visible).
Take pics of the same wheels inside the refurb place.

I'm selling some wheels and winter tyres on FB marketplace and I just wanted some advice as to whether there's potentially something fishy with the buyer.

Re: VAT on Private Schools poll
The last point I’ll make is from a discussion today with a fellow partner (from our tax team) - fees charged may not necessarily increase by 20% if VAT is applied. The reason being is that savings could be made by claiming VAT on expenses, thereby reducing outgoings. It may be that the fee ...

Re: VAT on Private Schools poll
There’s some really interesting views above. I have no vested interest in what happens to school fees, as I’m lucky enough to live in an area where there a very good state/grammar schools. However a lot of my clients will suffer and the effects on dramatically increasing school fees does concern ...

Re: Your fleet running reports
It's only just occurred to me - belm - is there a decent RR forum ? Classifieds there might be a good place to look.
Never used it, but it’s a sister forum to the Disco3/4 which I did use and it was very good informative with people happy to take the time to explain shizzle.

Re: Your fleet running reports
I wonder if they put ‘spares and repairs’ on the sales invoice?!
When I was in the classic car trade it wasn’t uncommon for the sales invoice to basically say that it was a piece of art to look at, rather than drive…
To be fair to my boss at the time, when selling cars like 1960s Maseratis ...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Indeed. Currently obsessing with specs of L405 Range Rovers. In theory one of those would cover the roles of both Cayenne & Bentley.
Take someone with you when you go to the Vogue Centre. I went to look at an L322 and I’m pretty sure it was a pikey site….
Ironically I bought an L322 elsewhere ...

Re: Range Rover.
Ah OK - I'm sure you're right. Keyless start is half the problem though as the body control module can be fooled into thinking that a key is in the car by the crims plugging something into the OBD II.
You still need to get in but jammers to stop you locking it or even just a broken window would ...
