EU milk reduction scheme

[Cowmangav]

Wasn't VAT brought in to pay for the EEC, so it won't be needed soon

yes, that would be why George Osborne put VAT up to 20%
All those EU bills to pay.
Actually its only a small % of VAT receipts that go to the EU.

VAT is an efficient way of taxing the black economy.

I think there is maybe a litre left?

 

[Tarw Coch]

I think there is maybe a litre left?

A bit more than that but IIRC it's about 0.3% of the fund left for future rounds so not a lot more!

 

[pappuller]

Is that after round 2 ?

 

[Tarw Coch]

Is that after round 2 ?

As far as I'm aware there has only been one round so far.

 

[pappuller]

Round two closed on 12th oct I think

 

[Tarw Coch]

Round two closed on 12th oct I think

Ok, I wasn't aware of that. It doesn't seem long since the closing date for round one, I had assumed the closing date for round 2,would be equally close to the period when production would be cut.

 

[pappuller]

round 1 was oct/nov/dec, rnd 2 nov/dec/jan, rnd 3 dec jan feb and rnd 4 jan feb mar

 

[pappuller]

round 3 closes 9th nov

 

[Tarw Coch]

round 1 was oct/nov/dec, rnd 2 nov/dec/jan, rnd 3 dec jan feb and rnd 4 jan feb mar

Ah right, I thought round 2 was jan feb mar, round 3 apr may jun, sorry my mistake.

What are we supposed to be doing now, I had an aknowledgement letter saying they had received my application. But that's it, have you had something else?

 

[Iogijones]

Ive sent mine today, you print an application form through rpa.gov . Not sure if i filled correctly though!

 

[it's not over]

Still waiting on Dec milk statement

 

[Cowmangav]

Well it transpires that they don't expect to be paying out until way into March, even if you have got your forms back to them right now. Maybe its a good thing my cows went mad in Dec and filled most of the Oct/Nov gap anyway.
