Rabbithunter 456 Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) I get £120 a day for skimming but rendering is usually higher or atleast it use to be not done any in ages. wouldnt bother getting out of bed ETA : Assuming this is on a self employed basis??? Where out that 120 you have to deduct ' tax ni fuel travel time PL insurance admin/paperwork vehicle maintenance etc..... Edited May 22, 2014 by Rabbithunter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

keepdiggin 9,223 Posted May 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 £120 a day is standard rate round when we worked in the smoke we could easy pull £250 a day. Theres 4 in our gang we split everything down middle. Everything is accounted for and everything is got back when we get our tax returns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
