Is the charge inclusive of VAT?
I guess you don't know that these parking companies have effectively exempted themselves from paying VAT?
He will also know that debt recovery fees are subject to VAT. He will also know if PPCs have been paying VAT in such income and whether HMRC have been tipped off yet to have a little look at the breakdown of what all the £160 payments received by PPCs actually represent.
Now, I expect the likes of DRP and ZZPS do pay VAT, because it's their core business.
One wonders if all the PPCs and robo-claim solicitors have?PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

The parking company has not incurred the £70 cost.
The head of a debt collection agency admitted he made it up purely to increase profit.
The PoFA 2012 says it is not recoverable.
The Supreme Court said it is not recoverable.

It is not fake, it is unlawful. Surely as a person employed in this industry you must know that?You never know how far you can go until you go too far.2 -

Not sure if there is one. The ministry did an online teams/zoom seminar a few months back and Liam McNulty stated that it had been given the nod by the MOJ.0

Nope, the public one. If I recall correctly, one of the forum attendees asked if a transcript of the event would be released and they said it would be unlikely.0

I asked that...but I didn't say 'transcript' I wanted the recording to be publicly available for others to watch.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
