Re: Has anyone actually bought T111 exemption for refurbishi

Re: Has anyone actually bought T111 exemption for refurbishi
as far as I can see very few people even know about this new TAX on already struggling small businesses.
Re: Has anyone actually bought T111 exemption for refurbishi
A lot of charities seem to be able to afford such TAX. There is this charity shop 2 miles up from my street, SENSE, they are selling whitegoods but these are very old like Hotpoint WM with timers, fridge with faded white door, old tumble dryer from Creda. I am surprised that this Charity is prepared to purchase the licence to sell the whitegoods at such low prices. Surely the cost of repair is more than the selling price. me thinks they are using some kind of rehabitalation work scheme where they employ “unemployed” people for nothing. Sometime I wonder how on earth they cover the costs, another thing is the guarantee i know they have shot themselves in the foot so many times. They used to offer 6 months and now they are offering 3 months.
Re: Has anyone actually bought T111 exemption for refurbishi
yeah it certainly makes you wonder ,but then do they have the t11 and do they actually need it?
if they are selling the machines ,they don’t need a t11 ,if they are buying in raw machines to recondition then they need a t11 ,as far as I’ve been told.
even then ,its a minefield ,if you read the official rules,you can collect a machine off a customer who wants rid of the machine but does not think it is beyond repair,so therefore at no time is it waste!
if however someone asks you to scrap a machine as its beyond repair then you need a t11!!!What a minefield this is going to be. 🙂
Re: Has anyone actually bought T111 exemption for refurbishi
It is easier to take the machine to the scrap yard and earn £10 for it. I even had one top of the range Bosch dishwasher which was barely 4 years old, the heater unit failed. The owner decided to buy a new dishwasher for £500 as opposed to repair of £70.
I took the dishwasher to the scrap yard and got £15 for it. nevertheless I kept the good bits of the dishwasher and gave it to my wife. We have a 10 years old Siemens dishwasher with 4 years old racks, it certainly looks new!
There is a guy on here somewhere, reckons there’s a way around it. collect the machine, repair then sell without the licence, my guess you would need documentation to prove that the person who gave you the machine is happy for you for repair to sell on.
£800 for three years which breaks down to £22 a month which is easily recovered via selling at least 2 machines a month. The down side is that you need £800 upfront which I do not have. The £800 I have is for replacing the van!
