@Richardbal7 @WHSmith @MeltonBid @aliciakearns @HMRCgovuk A bit of a kicker that it's still an issue nearly a year later. The original owner of this place suffered a similar fate, though moved to an employer big enough to just employ him on full pay.

@The_PlugSeeker Hi Guys , sounds counter but we really agree with you ref big deposits. Problem is all our competitors do this so we have to follow suit. Ref VAT it’s against HMRC guidelines to advertise anywhere that ‘might’ be seen by retail buyers on a net of vat price only.

A common problem is people in power (Government, HMRC, etc) think computers can give them all the data they want. They overlook that some poor person has to provide that data, and providing that data is a huge cost. Brexit does this with many knobs on. Read the thread & sigh.

I think the problem with some is they fall under IR35 and as such they take directors dividend pay different rates of ni, and minimal salary. The govt and HMRC need to agree what minimal salary is 15 k and compensate on that
