This PCC member (= charity trustee) is acutely aware that charities have no explicit right to claim back VAT on their projects. Churches benefitted until recently from the Listed Places of Worship Scheme, which was to close in April but has...

I think the issue is one of credibility as you say, it isn’t a good look. The details should be right because people will naturally question if the details aren’t right what else isn’t. I do worry that if you stack up the paranoia about comments...

The 20% discount... could perhaps be on one element of the works, not the total bill? But in any case, given that they haven't appointed a contractor yet, how do they know the total price, let alone whether it's discounted? Surely they haven't...

I don't think it matters what you call them, but this is another mistake attributable to John Bailey's opinion that the NYMR is a medium size business which, really, it isn't. It's actually quite a small, but very top heavy with employees,...

It went to a national exhibition in the early 80s to be part of a Bluebell stand and there’s a picture of it with Bernard Holden and the Queen, so it must have looked ok back then… Alan Bloom’s book about Bressingham does say they steamed it...

CEO is a misnomer. General Manager is more apt. In such a small organisation as NYMR, I would expect the GM to check timetables. I'm sure Philip Benham checked them. Someone skilled in railway operations management should be GM. It is a...

I think that even Chris Price had started losing the plot by the time he left - take his summary removal of the Levisham volunteers, for example - but, really, the rot started when John Bailey became Trust Chairman, with his obsession with...

It has always been a loco on static display at the Bluebell, though has had various cosmetic attention in that time on a number of occasions. As far as I can see, it was a working loco until 1958, by which time it must have been fairly...

I always wonder about anyone who feels the need to say 'Being honest'. Being a trusting soul I would usually assume that anyway. To me if they need to state that, then does it imply that sometimes they might not be? PS. The wife often starts a...

Church chair of finance here. Charities do not get to reclaim VAT on repairs because they are charities - as @Steve says, any reclaim is associated with the cost of VAT being "Input VAT" which they can reclaim against what they sell that has had...

Thank you ever so much for letting me know that you couldn't make the numbers work either, so I haven't gone (even further :--) mad (OK, OK, maybe that's a stretch on what you've accomplished :--)! If someone does know the correct numbers...

One possible reduction for a registered charity is saving the VAT. I've just googled that and found this: https://truemanbrown.co.uk/charities-and-vat-building-projects-guide/ But if that is what they're referring to, it should be 20% of the...

I was equally baffled, and just gave up in the end, as my brain hurt. Can someone remind me when the railway was claiming they’d reopen to Whitby, and how that’s looking after this latest statement?
