Sorry, should have been great-great grandmother. Bizarrely though, after doing a bit of historical research, I've found a Devonian connection. It appears that the original bicycle (or similar design) was actually brought back from the New World by Sir Walter, who of course also gave us potatoes and tobacco. Iconographs of bicycles have been found on Mayan temples and it is believed that they were ...
@bryony . thanks bryony, sounds like you're an expert. so, if a bakery is not vat registered because it hasn't reached the turnover limit does that mean it doesn't have to charge the extra vat now on hot takeaways? If thta's the case what's to stop a bakery business from just becoming a sort of cooperative of several similar businesses (e.g. one making bread, one making pies etc etc) sharing the ...
Sorry. The sun must have got to me. Complete mental block. A hairdressers chair is effectively an "ingredient" to the business so the VAT can be reclaimed if you are VAT registered and there will be no cost to passon (I think?). The ingredients to the pasty would be treated similarly - so if they are VAT rated zero (because they are food) then a VAT charge on the "product" i.e. the pasty will have ...
I'm never quite sure how the impact of VAT is passed on. If you look at the thread on "hairdressers chairs" you'll see that Taverner suggests that if the business is VAT rated then there would be no impact on hairdressing prices because the additional VAT is offset against VAT the business already charges (I think?). So I guess that the pasty tax affects bakers who trade below the VAT limit who ...
Could be. I do know that his great grand-mother was called Penny Farthing and I believe his uncle was Chopper Charlie.
He's Cyclist Cyril's cousin.
I received the letter a couple of days ago.
Have just read a salutary account of a Luftwaffe pilot whose body was washed up on the beach at Dawlish on 13th January 1943. He had been shot down three days earlier during the bombing raid on Teignmouth. He was buried with full military honours in a war grave in Exeter cemetery. R.I.P. Feldwebel Joachim von Bitter, age 20 Six weeks later the British pilot who had shot him down was killed ...
Good lateral thinking. If you are thinking of a variable tax rate according to location then you can do no worse than starting with Jake Thackray's famous song "Isabel makes love upon national monuments". Sites as far apart as Stonehenge and Hadrian's Wall are featured in this iconic expose of life in the raw, thus catering for the north/south divide as well.
