Fred I pay business rates & council tax on my property which includes my gate, I pay overheads as in insurance, feed costs, buildings etc and I pay tax on the profit I make. You have the same oppurtunity to sue the roadside seller as you do a shop, trading standards visit us, enviroment agency visit us, enviromental health visit us and Defra as a shop owner do you get all those visitors as ...
Fred it's definately not, if you have less than 350 chickens and you are suppling to the end user or selling at the farm gate then no stamp required, no labelling required.

Next you'll be saying landlords have to sell their houses to the tenants at a discount. I've worked very hard & still do why should I be forced to give it away or a part of it. I pay whatever tax is due, I don't tell any lie's and although we don't pay a huge amount of tax annually 2 years ago we paid £90k capital gains tax, we pay stamp duty everytime we buy something.
