It's a market economy, so why would there not be a disparity?how come such disparity presented itself?
Actually, it isn't.Something's rotten in Denmark!? (thats a quote from Hamlet...
"offset against the tax bill" is a naive phrase often used by people who don't understand the principles of costs, overheads, profit, and tax.4.50 per hour of running the business can easily be offset against the tax bill
Easily. But the simple facts are that nobody has to justify it, and you don't have to pay it.also I am sure all the VAT find its way to the IR... so dont even try that argument... and if its only 4.50 how do you justify upwards of 30-40 quid per hour?
The law requires the person doing it to be competent, so if it's not done competently then of course it's illegal.hanging the boiler on the wall can be illegal?
Correct - by removing the boiler and rehanging it.OK now when the competent and registered CORGI person comes to fit it all and perform miracles I am sure he will be able to inspect that.
Correct - you don't know what.if he can not put his name to a few well positioned screws on the wall I dont know what?
What? Do you mean damage to the hard metal boiler that would show itself as damage to the soft cardboard box? Or do you just mean that the supplier has had a quick grope?(note boiler can be mishandled in its box..would we know about it?)
Clearly you're engaging the wrong tradespeople. But I can't see why anyone competent would want to do work for you.Incidentally I decided to screw it on the wall myself cos I didnt and dont trust the person who will be doing it to use spirit level and make it perfectly horizontal.. if I ask him to do it it will only annoy him because I will be here for him just to pay the money and so on...not the other way around...there so I did it just so it will not p**s him off and it will not p**s me off for eternity like all the other work pros have done..None if it square .
OK. Can I ask about your appalling grammar, punctuation and spelling?I have high standards so dont go asking about my water pipe work.
now these are the issues I really have..not paying the money.. why are some gas engineers and trades people taking the p**s??????????? you can spot them a mile off... its a dead cert when they start with the famous words.. How long is a piece of string?
Nobody in the industry can do anything about rogue customers except refuse to do jobs for them.those of you who are in the industry take note... do something about it.
You're preaching to the converted - try telling that to your cut-price "professionals". :dbe honest, be competent, be fair... and dont try it on even if the likelihood of you getting away with it is high..
You seem very confused - why would anyone need a moral justification? Are you mixing up business with charity?and dont go marking up the materials over and above for extra income.. it might be the widely used practise but what moral justification do you have for doing that when you get stuff at 20% off at least..?
I don't know what the dots are for, but I'll give it a go.did I mention..no gas work has taken place..
..but you..have worked on..a gas appliance..
