QFIXDENNIS Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 WONDERED HOW OTHER SMALL BUSINESSES LIKE MINE ARE GOING TO INCORPORATE OR ADD ON THIS 2.5% RISE?? I'M WORRIED THAT THE INCREASE IS GOING TO FRIGHTEN SOME OF THE CUSTOMERS OFF. THINGS ARE TIGHT AS IT IS WITH THE RENT RISES ETC, ETC, SO I NEED TO PASS IT ON REALLY. ANY IDEAS GRATEFULLY RECEIVED. CHEERS. DENNIS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I've just upped my repair, key & dry cleaning prices by 10% no ones batted an eyelid to it. VAT rise shouldn't make to much difference to me. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Muppet Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 we have started investing in new equipment to enable us to offer further add ons to our services. we have also increased prices, which had a lot of us worried, but since trying out the new prices and equipment it seems that we will increase our takings by 10% without too many problems.

ironplanet uk900 Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 You have no choice but to up your prices by at least 2.5% unless you want to be giving away more of your profit to the buffoons who run this country.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithm Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 You have no choice but to up your prices by at least 2.5% unless you want to be giving away more of your profit to the buffoons who run this country.. Plus, everyone knows that VAT is going up. The only surprise the cusomer might have is that you DON'T increase your prices Do it NOW!!!!!

ironplanet uk900 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 how many reduced their prices when the vat was reduced for 12 months, then put them up when returned to rate now and will increase in jan 2011 ? To be fair that was aimed at big business, How many put there prices up by 17.5% when they had to go vat registered !! At the end of the working week the goverment has expected you to have collected 20% on top of your normal takings for them, why should your business, especially a small independant subsidise the tax that this government as bestowed upon your customers...

Never looked at it like that before thieving f***ing b*******s They tax us when we earn it, inherit it and spend it but the government claim they have no money, I'm absolutely sick of it. We should all send them an invoice for our time collecting tax on there behalf...and my time ain't cheap!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
