What a brilliant photograph.

+1 on that comment.

The Countryside Alliance has received numerous questions regarding the introduction of RTI (Real Time Information) and how this affects paying casual labour such as beaters. RTI is a system introduced by HMRC to capture all relevant payroll information each time an employee or worker is paid for their services. From April 2013, employers will be legally required to report PAYE in real time. This means that information about all PAYE payments needs to be submitted to HMRC online each time a payment is made as part of the payroll process, rather than at the end of the year as they are now. HMRC has confirmed that they are moving away from previously established procedures for casual workers to simply focus on whether someone has been paid or not. The onus is on the employer to comply with this system and there will be penalties for failure to do so. Currently HMRC will not give comment specific to the shooting industry; they just say that RTI is applicable to casual workers. However, we have been consulting with our advisors and the following information will hopefully be of use to those who have questions on this topic. Hopefully in time we will be able to get a clearer picture on this issue. • This forces the issue of deciding whether someone should be classified as employed or self-employed. If they are paid through RTI this indicates that they are an employee and if they are not then the implication is that they are self-employed. • As before the introduction of RTI; this will come down to a question and interpretation of fact. If an ‘employer’ is making any payment to a worker, this must be reported via RTI unless the ‘employer’ has satisfied themselves that the individual is self-employed. This will come down to whether they feel able to justify and demonstrate this to HMRC if questions were asked • In the shooting industry it is common for some of the participants to be regarded as self-employed i.e. the gamekeeper or the pickers up and there are established ways in which this is demonstrated. However, this is rarely the case for beaters. • For RTI, payments to these beaters should be recorded and reported before the payment is made. This will also be the case if many benefits-in-kind are received by the individuals (a Christmas party, a free shoot day or lunch for example). • It is all about what you would feel happy demonstrating to HMRC. For increased certainty, both the shoot and the individual should take steps to ensure that there is documentary or other evidence to support the position that you take. • For completeness, if a beater attends the shoot on an ad-hoc basis as a volunteer and there is clearly and demonstrably no intention to pay the beater or reward him in any way then there will be nothing to report under RTI and there is no employment relationship. Inviting the same individual as a guest to shoot with you later in the season should be regarded as a separate matter as not provided under a contractual or implied relationship between employer and employee. • The problem would come if this practice was adopted for every beater and on a regular basis; again it is about the factual picture building up that HMRC could argue amounted to a benefit in kind ad indicated an employer/employee relationship. If a pattern emerges then you must be able to demonstrate clearly that this should not amount employment. The Countryside Alliance will continue to monitor this situation and update accordingly.

B U G G E R.........all I have ever found in a wall was a dead cat!!!!!!!!!!

And it pays more than being a plod One of the downsides is that unlike Andrews I can't beat Grannies up and get away with it.

Dirty Harry. If you think the way Andrews handled an old woman is acceptable you are scum. So is he. I choose to work for a living instead of being a copper and guess what? I don't have to put up with abuse/violence/hassle from the public every day. Nobody forced you or anyone else to become a copper, it was your career decision. If you can't stand the hassle then go and get another job somewhere else. The Police Force doesn't need bullies like Mark Andrews or idiots like you who try to condone his actions.

Get a Little Nipper trap and bend the spring retaining arm very slightly downwards. I use cheddar for bait and they normally don't even get close enough to touch it before the trap goes off. There is no such thing as a free lunch!

i ordered and paid for a Nightforce scope from Litt's a few months before they went bust. I got so fed up with the constant stream of bullshot excuses I got from them as to why I had not received it that I cancelled the order and demanded a refund. I got it just before they went bust. They never ever phoned me with an update and every time I phoned them they were not in the slightest bit apologetic for their string of broken promises on delivery dates. I hope they stick him in a cell with a bottom fetishist.

+1 - that was enough for me.

God knows how Bradley managed to secure a guaranteed Moto GP ride for next season. It is a waste of a decent bike to give it to him- he will never be good enough to win Moto 2, let alone Moto GP.

Manhandling a 260kg battery pack doesn't sound like much fun compared to a 120kg 1000cc superbike. I will stick to petrol, thank you all the same

No, just the son of an army officer

:good:

I work for a US company and purchase stock every year. I tend to keep the stock so don't trade frequently. In the past I have used RBS and am currently with Interactive Investor. RBS were three degrees worse than useless when I tried to transfer US stock to them so I moved to iii who have just decided that they are going to introduce a £20 a quarter account charge. Hmmmmmmmmmm - £80 a year for doing nothing? I don't think so. Can anyone recommend a reliable sharedealing service with no annual fees?
