...VAT rates explained: standard, reduced, zero, exempt Different rates of VAT apply to different types of goods and services, and there are some goods and services that aren't taxable for VAT at all. So you need to know whether VAT applies to the goods or services you sell and how much to charge. You also need to know the right amount of VAT to reclaim on what you buy, because you can only claim back what you should have been charged - if your supplier charges you too much, you can't claim all of it back. This guide tells you about the different rates of VAT and how to work out the VAT you should charge. It also tells you about goods or services that are exempt from VAT, or outside the scope of VAT. ------------------------------------------------- On this page: * VAT rates * Standard rate of VAT * Reduced rate of VAT - what it applies to * Zero rate of VAT - what it applies to * When VAT mustn't be charged * How to find the right VAT rate for particular goods and services VAT rates If you're registered for VAT, you have to charge VAT at the standard rate on all goods and services you supply, unless they fall into one of these categories: * zero-rated * reduced-rated * exempt from VAT * outside the scope of VAT For more information on what's exempt from VAT or outside the scope, see the section in this guide on when VAT mustn't be charged.

...of the mobile phone market. Vodafone's media and planning agency, OMD UK plays an important strategic role in terms of researching the commercial market. THE CHALLENGE Operating in such a highly competitive industry meant that Vodafone had to look at new ways of researching how it could best profit from the hugely competitive youth market. The youth market is defined as anyone aged between 16-24 years old. Currently 90% of all 16-24 year olds own a mobile phone in the UK, amounting to 6.1m people in the UK. THE SOLUTION OMD UK, along with 2CV Research, recruited a panel of volunteers who receive monthly questionnaires over a long-term period in order to build up a profile of habits, attitudes and opinions of the young Vodafone user. The panel is made up of 200 respondents, all of whom must have an email address and a mobile phone (this is 85% of the youth market), and is maintained by 2CV. Questions sent out every month cover a whole range of areas, not just telecommunications. The idea is to build a very comprehensive picture of the Vodafone youth user by examining what their lifestyle and attitudinal habits are. Why? Because Vodafone is looking to optimise its advertising revenue to most effectively target this market, and it needs to understand not only where to target its audience but also how to communicate with it. Utilising the monthly panel of SySurvey volunteers means that Vodafone, OMD UK and 2CV Research can...

...Explain and briefly evaluate how social class identities are created and reinforced in the contemporary UK Social class relates to the ways of life of similar social groups. The way of life involves both the culture and economic position of a group of people. Culturally it means the shared norms and values and economically it means the financial positions of the rich/poor. Both these aspects influence the way of life. Agents such as the family, media and peers create and reinforce class identities but postmodernists believe that the class system no longer exists as it has become fragmented within the contemporary UK. The family is one way of showing how social class identities are created and reinforce because the the family creates norms and values according to their social class status. During mealtimes the working class and middle class have different routines which can tell us what class they are from. For example the middle class usually eat dinner together with the family in the evening whereas the working class mealtimes are portrayed earlier to coincide with the end of the working day for manual workers. The family also represents class through how much parents take time out and devote time to a child’s school work. Reay (1998) shows that working class mothers have less time to devote to their children because they are more focused on balancing housework, childcare and paid employment but lacked understanding of the schooling system whereas mothers of the middle...

...What is a CV? Curriculum Vitae: an outline of a person's educational and professional history, usually prepared for job application. Another name for a CV is a résumé. A CV is the most flexible and convenient way to make applications. It conveys your personal details in the way that presents you in the best possible light. A CV is a marketing document in which you are marketing something: yourself! You need to "sell" your skills, abilities, qualifications and experience to employers. It can be used to make multiple applications to employers in a specific career area. For this reason, many large graduate recruiters will not accept CVs and instead use their own application form. FACT: Often selectors read CVs outside working hours. They may have a pile of 50 CVs from which to select five interviewees. It's evening and they would rather be in the pub with friends. If your CV is hard work to read: unclear, badly laid out and containing irrelevant information, they will just just move on to the next CV. Treat the selector like a child eating a meal. Chop your CV up into easily digestible morsels (bullets, short paragraphs and note form) and give it a clear logical layout, with just the relevant information to make it easy for the selector to read. If you do this, you will have a much greater chance of interview. An application form is designed to bring out the essential information and personal qualities that the employer requires and does not allow you to gloss over your...

Trần Quang Thắng Tác giả: Simon Website: www.ielts-simon.com Người tổng hợp: Quang Thắng Website: www.ielts-quangthang.com Some people believe that hobbies need to be difficult to be enjoyable. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Some hobbies are relatively easy, while others present more of a challenge. Personally, I believe that both types of hobby can be fun, and I therefore disagree with the statement that hobbies need to be difficult in order to be enjoyable. On the one hand, many people enjoy easy hobbies. One example of an activity that is easy for most people is swimming. This hobby requires very little equipment, it is simple to learn, and it is inexpensive. I remember learning to swim at my local swimming pool when I was a child, and it never felt like a demanding or challenging experience. Another hobby that I find easy and fun is photography. In my opinion, anyone can take interesting pictures without knowing too much...

...thing about traveling? Travel photography is fun, you get to experience different climates, meet different people and enjoy fun adventures. I especially like the fact that I am able to realize most of my wishes in the course of work. I have a short list of wishes and I am always pleasantly surprised when I come across something, compelling and completely unexpected. Is traveling a hobby or a lifestyle for you? How did you get started? I think it is a bit of both. It is a hobby because it endears the photographer to reach out to the photographic community and helps develop a personal style. The opportunity to travel in different places is a lifestyle in itself. Here, you get the opportunity to capture a variety of architectures, wildlife, landscapes, and people. Since photography takes a while to master, I developed interest while in high school. What is the most beautiful place you’ve been to? Over the years I have had the opportunity to shoot many captivating images. I remember taking a photo of the diverse Mulafossur Waterfall in 2015. Although the splendid 18 Islands are located far away, between the UK and Iceland, I cherished every moment of what I saw. Do you have any exciting travel dates planned for the future? My assignments sometimes force me to travel far and wide, and I always make it a point to document my travels. Part of the reason I do this is to give justice to the many wonderful places I have been to. My upcoming October travel itinerary will include Mexico, where...

...Unnecessary and Cruel Sport According to nature, the food chain begins and ends with a prey and its predator. Hunting is also one of the laws made by nature to balance the population on the earth's surface and it is through hunting, that the circle of life is complete. But an excess of anything is considered injurious, and this applies for hunting as well. Although it was a crucial part of humans’ survival 100,000 years ago, hunting is now nothing more than a violent form of recreation that the vast majority of hunters do not need for subsistence. Today men practice hunting as nothing but one of those among a list of hobbies, because there is no requirement for predation by humans in modern times. Sport Hunting should be banned because it can be dangerous, cruel and it contributes to the extinction of animal species all over the world. Many believe in hunting as a hobby, because it serves as a great outdoor experience. It might even be considered as a good exercise, on a day out! The truth is that Hunting is, by its’ nature, a dangerous sport. Hundreds of individuals armed with long range weapons through the woods are a perfect formula for a tragedy. This is especially true when the average hunter only shoots one of two days a year. Hunting accidents destroy property and injure or kill cats, dogs, horses, hikers and other hunters. According to International Hunter Education Association, about 1,000 people are accidentally shot while on a hunting trip each year. Hunters also claim...
