Well this seems to be all about TAX, and trying to find all the cash jobs we do.
Remember a bit back when all widow fitters had to be FENSA registered, all in the name of quality for the customer etc.
Well thats a pile of shight. At the time the plastic window industry was worth £1.6 billion per year! Lets say just 10% of that was cash jobs. Yep £160 million quids worth of tax lost
Same as 'part P' for sparks, every job they do now is traceable, and corgy (or whatever its called today) for plumbers.
It will never actually work because a spark can do a full rewire for cash and do the test for a £60 cheque and say someone else rewired it, he only tested it.
Am I a cynic? am I reading far too much into it?................Well lets see shall we!
What do you initialy expect this card to do or prove?.....that you are a plasterer yeah?
Well the post above from steve_cov_spread proves thats not true.
They came to him but didnt check his ability or skill or anything, what they
DID do was take his details and photograph him and add him to their database AND charged him £75 aswell!!!
If it isn't allready it will soon become a yearly £75 fee basically becoming a new 'tax on being a plasterer' as well and linking you to jobs.
Will I be getting one..........................I dont think so sonny Jim
