    Be careful of claiming electricity and other house hold utilities this makes you liable for capital gains for the portion of house claimed should you ever wish to sell

    In that case, why not just restrict it to mobile devices?

    If you check the website it is supposed to be, phones tablets and laptop
    pc’s, however some people have managed ‘workarounds’.

    the whole idea of sky go is for a sky account holder to be able to watch content whilst on the move, its not supposed to be streamed to other large tv’s so multiple users can ‘share’ an account (not in anyway saying this is what you are trying to do)

    current banshee

    £400 would seem reasonable for 1 yr old hardly used, but………….he may not actually own the bike unless he has paid the scheme ‘get out’ amount at the end of the term, I would be wanting proof this has been done before handing over any money

    How does the scheme work?
    You’ll basically be hiring the bike from your employer in exchange for a small amount of your salary being taken over a monthly basis. It’ll be deducted over a 12 or 18 months, depending on what works best for your budget.

    God is this still running…….at the end of the day ‘if’ Scotland vote yes at the referendum then they can still chose to use the pound as a national currency however, Westmininster has stated if they do they will have no say in fiscal policy…….

    …….does it really need 151 pages to say this?

    in my experience making bad coffee at the start is a way of never having to do it again, call his bluff design and make him attend a coffee making lecture as part his induction, if he fails this then he knows where the door is……

    The one that springs to mind is one for small service companies and VAT – charge 20% on your invoices, but only pay 13% to HMRC.

    Ermm….it doesn’t in optics par of what you pay for is a medical service which is non vatable at the front and rear end of the transaction, therfore to make life easier for both gov’t and accountants opticians practices are allowed to work on a lower vat rate (that has to be negotiated with hmrc)

    dont thin the vat man cares about the type of bike, you might have a particularly gnarly commute 🙂

    cubist is correct the co can claim the vat back on the bike (if they are vat registered)

    I paid £593 + £60 for a £949 Cannondale crossbike.

    Then you are on or around the 40% bracket for earnings and the scheme works well for you, not everyone’s savings are as good

    one note of caution the bike is the property of the company not you, but at the end you of the repayment period the ownership can be transferred to you (morally how the scheme was supposed to work), you can pay a fee (might be nominal or expensive depending on the provider) to ‘buy’ title to the bike

    @ dezb isn’t that what I said

    seosamh77 it depends what rate tax payer you are,a 40% tax payer will save approx 42% as the ‘loan’ is deducted before tax and NI are calculated, however if you are a zero tax payer and the scheme charges annual/end of term fees then it could actually cost you money, but is a convenient way to finance a new bike.

    thehustler

    I dont see how its different? you paid a fee at the end, the 42% touted in all the blerb you see is basically the ‘loan’ is paid b4 tax and NI are calculated and has nothing to do with the price of the bike, and so is relative to your earnings being a 40% tax payer if you earn less the saving is less, could even ‘cost’ you if you are a non tax payer

    Basically works like a salary sacrifice ‘loan’, the scheme used to be much more user friendly but alot of the allowance ‘loop holes’ were closed so is now only really viable if the company is vat registered as your co can claim the vat back, one note of caution the bike is the property of the company not you, but at the end you of the repayment period the ownership can be transferred to you (morally how the scheme was supposed to work), you can pay a fee (might be nominal or expensive depending on the provider) to ‘buy’ title to the bike (how the large players in the market do it) or you can hand the bike back…..

    one thing i forgot some european sites (particularly in France) can have the live and neutral wired ‘back to front’so check your van isn’t similarly wired, you can get a plug polarity tester to do this

    one on ebay

    The easy answer is yes, as continental europe uses a 220v system and ours is 240, so most appliances are rated at 230 with a buffer to be usable on both,
