          Best get my invoice in this week!
          The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

          But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

            They will look at it as a 2% increase in their margin

                They're going to have to do something with the flat rates.

                For you IT guys, the new 15% VAT rate means you pay out exactly what you receive in VAT; ie no margin for expenses (well you get 0.05%!). But those in the "Labour Only" rate of 13.5% actually have to pay out more VAT than they receive on invoices!

                    FRS rates are coming down in line with the headline VAT rate.
