So the conversation went like this:

"Can we do anything about the VAT as I pay higher rate tax so to make my income go further I have to try and pay tradesmen in cash and save the 20% to make my money go further"

Had to laugh at the barefaced cheek!

LOL Just missing the violins..........hate them when they are like that. It is either this or have just paid the deposit for the villa in Tuscany !!
 
Always the same, them with money are the worst.
 
That's how they get to have lots of money in the first place.

All the decent people have to struggle through life, while the scroungers and tight fisted plebs like him get everything handed to them on a plate.
 
i would have just said as a plumber we get investigated all the time now so cash jobs get declaired so give me your money
 
That was my reply - particularly as we're involved in renewables I'm frequently claiming back from the VAT man so I wouldn't be surprised to get investigated at some point....

My other reply to the how much for cash would be more cos its more expensive to bank!
 
LOL keep it simple just ask cash or cheque?

Cash deal Ahh leave it at a round ÂŁ500 OK?

Cheque no problem leave it a round ÂŁ500 OK?

Up to you to write an invoice with Cash Customer in the Name / Address box and keep all three copies.

Now comes the honesty test :)
 
I always use the card machine now, so now everything shows up in the account regardless.

The VAT people are far worse than the tax people, nothing gets past them.
