    My mistake. They are evergreen after all ;-)

    The right to light in your garden

    Laurel is not evergreen. This law would not apply. It only applies to evergreen or mostly evergreen hedging.

    Amazon FBA Third party shipping question(s)

    Think of the freight forwarder as the middleman. You pay them to get your goods from a to b. They communicate with you and the supplier. SOME INFO ON amazon and tax. 200 sales is not a lot... personally i think if you go into business you should pay tax as required by the country you are...

    Amazon FBA Third party shipping question(s)

    If the goods are in the states you need to pay tax. Why would you want to play that game of avoiding tax. Amazon reports items sold to the taxman. It gets confusing as to what amazon warehouse sells what.... I think the OP should find a company either in China or the USA who can package goods...

    Amazon FBA Third party shipping question(s)

    I'm confused as to what you find confusing. Honestly maybe you should rethink FBA Usa amazon as dealing with the taxation system with the 19 tax nexus in the states is far more complex than the logistics of getting the stock there.

    habitual late payers

    The big boys we supply to are in this boat. I expect this when I supply them. It is when the many small independents delay payment that really hurts the cashflow.

    habitual late payers

    I did originally credit check these customers, but I have been trading with them for years now and the industry has taken a nose dive. It is only in the last year the payments have become much slower. I can't afford to lose any more money due to customers going into administration. Should I...

Anyway thanks all for replies. Cross at myself for letting it get this far. Taken steps to rectify, simplify the process...

    habitual late payers

    yes I agree, it is the writing on the wall they are going to fold. If this is not the case, then maybe by me withdrawing credit terms they will think twice before screwing over other suppliers. simple, I like it. I don't have time to waste on these people any more. Perhaps it is weak of me...

    habitual late payers

    thanks, makes sense. I noticed that is what DHL and TNT started doing this year. Sending me a letter as soon as the invoice is overdue 7 days.

    habitual late payers

    Hello, I have a few trade customers that seem to wait until the last letter, Notice before Action before paying. I have a system set up so the customers get emailed when the account is due, 7 days, 14, 21, 31 and then 45 days overdue. I also send statements out by post to customers that are...

    1 product business

    All your eggs in one basket. I would say if its on alibaba and it proves popular online then give it a month before loads of sellers jump on the wagon. Watch out for the big stores. I know of a business who had an order for 400 000 units and the store only took 20 000 in the end. A lot of left...

    Paypal Express VAT charged to countries outside EU

    Thanks, the problem was magneto was sending invoices with 20% tax on it to the customer, so it was correct for rest of world customers. Your solutions sounds great. I will try for a workaround.
