Dog Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Why not get a Mobylette to go to the airport. Bikes seem to park for free in the car park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Sorry if I'm pouring petrol on the fire but I think the parking charges at Bergerac are really cheap. I'm currently thinking of renegotiating my contract to work Thurs / Fri (wk1) then Mon / Tues (wk2) etc so I can spend more time here. I would be very happy to leave my car parked at Bergerac at those prices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenm Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I like your idea too Chessie = must be some enterprising Brit nearby who could do with an extra few Euros or quid especially these days. Could be a nice little cash in the hand business, pity I am not nearer as it is appealing. Anyone know anyone who would be interested? 3 to 5 people a week and got to be worth at least 25 euros so easily knock up 100 a week and very handy in the economic climate and terrible interest rates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 How is setting up a small business 'inciting illegal activity'.....does Bergerac airport have a legal monopoly on airport parking / transfers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 AFAIK the French government take a dim view of ' a nice little cash in the hand business,'I think they call it tax evasion [6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Oops sorry RH - missed that. Slightly changing the subject, I just had a meeting with our CRM (in old speak, District Inspector) who said that anything less that £1/4m he wasn't interested in.....

kenm Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 well well well, surprised that a few words has put people on top of their soap boxes and now preaching about illigal and illicit activity. I take those comments as being illicit accusations that I am inciting somebody or anybody do do wrong, Did I say anything about not declaring any such earnings, does cash in hand mean not to pay or declare tax - NO what it means it is cash, not credit cards, cheques or on account, and could be a nice little business with little risk as well as meeting a lot of other Brits (that is if you want too).Got some reactions and pretty fast too so good to see there is life and it is active out there, just lighten up a bit please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 It is nothing to do with soap boxes and everything to do with the Forum Code of Conduct. I think even the most generous tax official may be interested in a business that only dealt in cash, like the Mods they have suspicious minds [;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenm Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 think you are missing the point - anyway I will bite my tongue as I do think it is being petty when one is just trying to stimulate an enterprise that could be useful to quite a few people - no doubt you do not have the problem yourself about flights and parking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 That's true, but being self employed and having in the past been engaged in a 'cash in hand trade' I do know a little bit about how tax officials think..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 ... you mean the less than £250k not interested?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Yeah, right.........I used to know a chap who was 'inspected'. The tax man said that he owed and additional £600, the chap said he didn't and he'd prove it. In the end the taxman was proved wrong, but the bill for proving it was £6000 !!![:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I'm guessing that was before the introduction of the risk based approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenm Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 well if the French are the same as here it is up to the tax payer to prove otherwise - a one sided affair and more often than not it is easier, cheaper and less stress to swallow and pay up. It always pays to keep proper accounts.Anyway there has got to be someone enterprising to start a park and ride legit business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessie Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Dooh....oh dear, oh dear.Now look you lot; you are all obviously very bright - but very Bored - entrepreneurs, budding Richard Bransons who want to have a go at The Apprentice or enter The Dragon's Den. What started off as a simple idea to store 1 car on a bit of spare ground - you flippin' lot have galloped away with the idea and turned it into a multi-storey car-park, with park-and-ride and goodness knows what else to become millionaires - and then someone comes along and mentions 'cash in hand'....and we then - oh Lordy - we get the 'breaking the law' brigade on here.For heavens sake the lot of you - just stop it !!!!One car, one spare piece of ground - an elderly retired UK ex-Pat couple whose income is BELOW any tax threshold and who might like like a few extra Euros each year - now that does not justify the wrath of the 'you must tell the tax people' brigade....And it doesn't even have to be retired exPats; I should imagine retired French couple might also appreciate a few extra Euros as well - and the 'below tax threshold' could equally apply to them. We are NOT all rich and pay sqillions in tax every year you know. Some of us don't qualify for that perk !!And to Mogs - Now Look at What You Started !!! - but best of luck - I'd try asking around or advertising; if we lived nearer Bergerac I'd be very happy to help - would even put on my chauffeur uniform and ferry you and collect you. Hope you find someone who can help.And best of luck with your two-way lifestyle - but possibly the best of both worlds !!!Regards - Chessie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 There are web sites in the UK where car owners and people with spare parking space can be matched up - now that seems a good idea for a business in France ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
