Halibut Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 have you been listening Yes, but whatever point you're trying to make - and maybe you have a valid point somewhere - is undermined when you just invent figures like that 99%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forumosaurus Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 the business that pays rent and rates , vat and tax , if you wish to check if charity shops pay these please call sheffield council and ask the question I see you're point but you're talking as though the only person the low rates benefit is the manager of the store. Charity shops do good work for the charity, and lets not forget the people who buy from them are often not able to afford the prices that are charged for new things, and are forced to buy second hand from charity shops. So they're helping the people for whom the charity is raising money, as well as the people who cannot afford to buy new, and are forced to buy from charity shops.

JonnyRandom Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Unless they're renting from the council how will they know what rent is being paid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beansforyou Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 So lets imagine the council do as you wish, and all the charity shops close down because they can't/don't want to pay the rates. Then what? I'm not seeing the next part of your great scheme to get the country moving.... Unless of course all the 'stock' then gets collected by these dodgey agencies that claim to be 'charities' but then weigh all the clothing in and pocket the cash, you know the ones, you get about 4 sacks a week thru your door with an efinopian on the front. There was actually a van sat at the recycling centres the other day with two guys taking bags off people as they came to recycle them, and dumping them in the back of their van instead, and people were giving it to them. Wonder what rates they're paying, or do you reckon they might be signing on by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
