    Hi again young Dotty.Just had another butchers @ your SOA.What is a ``virtual lease``,never heard of that.I understand that there is a business rate reduction available to some small business{or at least it`s available in Trowbridge}.Might just be worth looking into.Is the IR payments p.a.y.e due on wages from your other halfs monthly salary?

    Hi dottyanne

    Lie back in a nice warm bath. Close your eyes and try to picture yourself walking up to the Troodos Mountains at the end of a warm day. It's still warm but not hot. The air is heavy with the scent of pine and wild herbs. Twigs crackle under your feet, birds fly away as you disturb their peace. Give each bird one of your worries to take away. As you take each step your heart becomes lighter. You come to a clearing in the woods, pause for a while before beginning the descent to where your lovely DH and children are waiting for you.

    Enjoy your journey

    hi Pobby

    to clarify:-

    virtual lease - this is the hire of a credit card terminal .

    We DO get the small business business rate reduction (although we didnt for the first 6 months and ended up paying more then than for a full year!)

    Yes, the IR payments are due for PAYE and NI payable by me as the business owner as deductions from OH wages.

    :confused: any ideas??? all will be GREATLY received lol
