[cma-l] Charitable Status

We should be OK long term then ??                     what am I saying ??  !
long term 



.. the whole idea of my original comments was that long term
looks unlikely at the current rate of developments.

 

Nevermind 
 we soldier on with will power alone for now.

It may not be easy to sustain a station on much less than £50k total (though
we do), but bear in mind that grant and donation income, and wages
expenditure are 'non-business' items outside the scope of VAT, so don't
count towards the threshold, which is based on your supply of goods and
services to others in the course of business. 

 

Wages are often the largest outgoing for a small community station. It is
quite possible to be running a station whose business outputs that are
within the scope of VAT are well below the threshold. Equally this is why it
is possible for such a station to be a net recipient of VAT repayment.

 

You are only forced to register for VAT if your supply of goods and services
by way of regular business exceeds £70,000 per annum, not your total
turnover or ocaasional activities not falling within the meaning of
business.

Jaqui    n’ all

 

Hey !    I have spotted something here 



 of course the discussion is
about V.A.T. 




 and Jaqui mentions the extra admin and the hassle (we
should be all use to it by now anyway)        but, the interesting fact is
this  (as Rolf Harris would say ‘’have you guessed what it is yet?)
Jaqui mentions ‘’near the threshold or not’’                  my observation
is this 






.. if you ain’t anywhere near the threshold and trust me





 this last 12 months we have really slipped away from that threshold
may I ask the question ?

WHEN ARE YOU HOLDING YOUR CLOSING DOWN SALE ?

 

If you catch my drift?

 

How does anyone survive on less than at least fifty five grand 




.. here
lies our problem 







. We operated this year on about £48,000 and now we
are in the proverbial. We know the illnesses and the symptoms, but the DCMS
doctor won’t prescribe any medicine 







 I think it’s a case of ‘’go and
have a lie down, you’ll be OK in a week or two’’
no we won’t Mr Doctor 



. We’re dying !

 

Croak croak gulp gulp 



.. ‘’Help !’’

 

Regards
