    I would if I had my way remove all of the telemetry so they cannot tweak anything from the pit wall or plan anything……. would leave the radio in but make it for the drivers to be able to warn the stewards of anything untoward on the circuit……… take it back to real racing where the drivers and pit crews best guess is all they can use.

    Now you are talking…..:)

    I’d be making more money if I was ‘Tax Consultant’ – one would hope that someone has already spoken to Mr Pooley on the link provided a few weeks ago! 😉

    You would indeed. Well let’s hope they find some relief from the burden so that the amount required in May might be reduced.

    Don’t knock, it in the Exemption case it’s beneficial legislation – “The exemption was introduced by EU law in 1990 but was only gradually implemented in the UK and remains the subject of much confusion. A surprising number of taxpayers are still ignorant of the exemption and continue to pay VAT on such exempt income over to HMRC.” 😀

    But its effect on the specific point we are discussing, not so helpful?

    ….how many accidents have there been at nuclear reactors since the first was built nearly 60 years ago? It is all about risk assessment and statistics. If we planned everything we did to eliminate every single possibility of every sort of risk we would build nothing and go nowhere. We certainly wouldn’t be flying around in aircraft or watching them fly.

    :D:D Thanks! I enjoyed that.

    Having now read the thread it confirms what I understood, that it is due to a late change in the rules due to an UE requiremt – not that I realised we had to abide by EU taxation rules, but there you are. But it isn’t clear if all or any of it is reclaimable, but perhaps I have missed somenthing in the exchanges.

    To which we could not provide the answer, so I am pleased that a little searching has provided with the information you needed.

    They said that as from the end of January they have had to pay VAT at 20% on aircraft parts and services, which had previously been free of VAT. As someone “in the know” does that make sense?

    No, do you really think so??:p

    I wonder what strength of earthquake and tsunami were factored in. The Sendai earthquake was the 5th largest ever and the largest ever in Japan since seismological records began.

    Do we actually know the risk factors to which they were built?

    That is remarkable and very exceptional, I imagine.

    Regardless of anything else do you suppose in present circumstances any exceptions to a VAT ruling will be made? Apart from opening the flood gates to other potential claimants I think I am right in saying that it is because of an EU ruling on VAT and charities, but I stand to be corrected on that point.
