Inland Revenue

Welcome to the real world - Was talking about this today with a mate, he reckons you can opt out of it, but I don't believe that's right.

Your mate is 100% correct, you can opt out of paying tax. Two ways I know it goes on;

1 / You tell the Inland Revenue your seizing trading from a given point in time...

2 / You do what many thousands of others have always done, sign on the dole, screw the system for what you can get, tell um your available for work but then have not got the training for any job offered, then

3 / Carry on doing your back hand jobs taking pure cash without trace, pretend you have nothing and take all "TAX FREE".

Option 3 must be profitable many have always done it.   

what is invoice dont like the sound off them

If you're trying to make a sensible point, and I have noticed the "let me off the hook" smilie, then I think you might mean NON-contributory pension?
Also I've never heard of any final salary pension scheme which pays more than 2/3rds of that final salary which is not "about the same".
Nor is trying to earn a bit extra by using skills you have learned after retirement in any way greedy.

Even if you're trying to cause offence you could at least make the effort to try and get some facts right.

Closer to the facts, thank you peter

At least some folk have a grasp of reality.

You misunderstand, it isn't about about not paying tax.

I'm only guessing but maybe stealth has completed his first years trading and is having to find another lump towards the following years tax. It can be a bit of a shock when you're running a start up business, but it evens out after the first year (kinda)

Now, this post might get me banned, it might get removed or it might get edited but it's simply the way I see it.

Dynamo. All I can get from most of your posts is that you're irrational, you hate your job, the DVSA and your boss. In a nutshell you're bitter and spiteful but choose to see yourself as clever and superior.

All in all to me far from "living in the real world" as you put it that shows paranoia.

I don't normally go in for personal attacks on forums but you're just getting worse and showing less and less sense. When is it going to change?

It's been that way through multiple guises both here and on other forums for the last 10 years so I wouldn't hold your breath.

I don't believe any of that lot above, but what the evidence has shown over recent posts is that I can make mistakes and you lot can jump on me like a ton of bricks acting clever and superior, I'll give you an example;

In another thread I said something along the lines of;

Water in brake fluid travels and becomes trapped in the brake hoses and calipers, water boils at 100 degrees and brake fluid boils up to 260 degrees. I pointed out an experience I had many many years ago where the brake fluid/water boiled and I lost the brake effort completely, my foot brake went to the floor.

What did David and yourself say to this, I'm wrong, then you two went off being all smart and clever about getting involved in the science about hygroscopic behavior and all that.

Never once before your replies did you ask anything about why I said or thought water traveled that way, even knowing beforehand I made the mistake in the spelling of the word hygroscopic, you admitted I corrected it but then went on to make your own mind up about the interpretation and understanding I have without proper understanding from myself how I interpret the subject. You would never of known if I deliberately worded it that way based on what a teacher once told us many many years ago, maybe thinking about that he might of got it wrong or thought we would not understand correctly at that time, so chose to use a fundamental basic idea, I don't know the reason, the students were all teenagers back in the day.   

You have not lived my life in the last 12 years Peter, you have not got the same experience in the same environment I have had, you probably don't work with people who choose to believe that brake fluid NEVER deteriorates, it NEVER needs changing and NOTHING ever goes wrong with it. How many times I have politely tried to explain to staff and the boss about these safety critical subjects before only to be put down and belittled many times.

Customers have arrived at Service Reception asking about the changing of brake fluid, I remember one customer asking having just come from a dealer Service Reception, saying "the customer" I have just been advised by the local main dealer that my brake fluid needs changing and xxx cost, is this correct? The Service Reception at our place without any understanding at all told the customer that the dealer was wrong, it never needs changing. The customer went away from our place free to tell the world that we professionals in the trade, "limited number of us" that paid and put the effort in to train, are now belittled by the majority who have never trained, never needed it, and undermine people like me who have duly tried to get the message across, as simple and basic as humanly possible, now the customer free to tell the world that brake fluid never needs changing and a limited number of professionals are the bad guys why the untrained majority are running their own businesses as professionals without any professional training at all.  

one member of staff was seen many times priming brakes and after removing the dispensed brake fluid was seen to walk back to the master cylinder reservoir and put that same dispensed brake fluid back into the system to prime it round again at our place many times, he did not believe brake fluid ever required changing, he had freely worked in the motor trade some 20 odd years. At our place to date they think like you have written about me above, I can see many things are hidden from me at our place, but hey I am now just waiting for the big crunch to happen, sooner or later it always does, I seen it before and they tried to hide it.  

I believe you should retract your statements above and when you go out your way to put your interpretation on members posts, try asking some questions before you belittle and undermine people. There are many members on this forum that have never had a days training in their lives, and some of us can see who that social circle is quite clearly. 


stealth I have had a pay cut and no pay rise in the last 12 years. 

When is it going to change?

When you all stop putting your heads together and learn to understand people rather than keep judging people.
