    I'm thinking of using that extra 1k on something fairly useless like maybe a day on a racetrack in a Ferrari (or being an uptight contractor Aston Martin for £99 or so).

    Any good ideas to keep oneself motivated?
    Can I help celebrate with you by invoicing you for £100.99k?

    V. true, still on flat rate for the foreseeable.
    Investing in metals also has crossed my mind a few times already at 1k I guess I couldn't go wrong and then buy a rent-to-let house for it just at the very end of crisis (when people run out of furniture to heat the house)...

    I think she means that he's over the 70k limit which means you have to register for VAT. Why she'd want to avoid that, I don't know.

    The flat rate is just to lure people into the net.

    For me I don't have a consistant income in the UK, if you pay VAT some months and not others they start to ask questions. Also I only have to do my accounts once a year.

    It works for me
