Loadmaster / VAT on jobs into EU
« Last post by norman on January 13, 2021, 07:32:20 pm »
There seems to be some confusion concerning the application of VAT for transport charges into the EU by carriers after Brexit.

The VAT implications of the actual goods have nothing to do with the carriage charges as they are dealt with by the CHIEF system.

Carriage is a service and the application of VAT is determined by the 'place of supply'.

If the carriage is from the UK to the UK, the EU or elsewhere then the 'place of supply' is the UK.

UK VAT should be charged at the standard rate on UK destinations BUT where the place of supply is the UK, ZERO RATING applies to the supply of transport of goods from a place within to a place outside the UK and vice versa.
(VAT Notice 744B)

If the carriage is from the EU to the EU then no UK VAT is applicable. Note that VAT charges may be levied by the EU which have
to be accounted for depending upon whether it is a B2C (Business to Consumer) or B2B (Business to Business) supply.

In a EU B2B supply you do not need to charge VAT if you know the customer VAT number as they are responsible for it.
EU B2C VAT charges are dealt with through the non-UK VAT MOSS Scheme.

You are advised to consult your accountant and HMRC for clarification.

Raspberry Pi / Boot from USB
« Last post by norman on January 05, 2021, 07:21:17 am »
The Pi 4 can boot from a USB stick instead of the SD card.

The USB must be USB 3.

Just insert the USB then copy the existing SD card using the SD card copy utility.

Shutdown. Remove the SD card. Power up. Boots much faster.

Miscellaneous / EU website converting to UK
« Last post by norman on December 13, 2020, 09:25:22 pm »
With the upcoming possibility of our EU website being turned off in the Brexit row on 01/01/2021 we have started to upgrade our zipzap.uk site to replace it.

The loss of the site is beyond our control and we see it purely as a political action by Nominet and the EU. The UK has always been part of Europe and will continue to do so after the end of the year. We are not going anywhere.

All downloads are now available on the UK site.

Raspberry Pi / New Pi 400
« Last post by norman on December 13, 2020, 05:54:24 pm »
Bought the new Pi 400 which is a Pi 4 in a proper keyboard.

Same speed as the 4 but in an easier to use layout.

Loadmaster / HTTP - the reference version cannot be reached
« Last post by norman on December 11, 2020, 09:54:27 am »
You might get this on startup.

It's trying to update off the internet.

Delete the file wdupdate.net from the Loadmaster program directory.

Miscellaneous / UK based EU websites to end after 31/12/2020 :-[
« Last post by norman on October 29, 2020, 02:05:05 pm »
A big warning to any UK owners of .eu websites.  :-[

If you are not based in the EU or don't have EU citizenship then after 31/12/2020 EIRid will be pulling the plug on your website and emails. They WILL stop working.

We will lose our zipzap.eu website, so use zipzap.co.uk instead.

TPN Invoicing / Cannot log in
« Last post by norman on September 23, 2020, 01:35:47 pm »
Check the top line of the screen. It tells you the current data directory between the square brackets. Is this correct? Or does it incorrectly say C:\TPNINVG
 
If it is simply wrong then you can alter the Data Directory by clicking on the [...] symbol on the Login page (to the right of Password). You can then select the correct directory.
 
If this is NOT the case then get to the Login page. Login as a user called manager with a password of borg. You will get to the Name Table.
 
Is your username missing or the table blank? Click on Insert and add yourself as a user. Add a password. Set the User Level to Operator and the Restrictions to N. Now click on the Close button.
You should now be able to login.

Check that you are in the right Data Directory by viewing some of the data. It should not be blank.

If you need to change the directory go into Utilities and Data Path then simply alter it.
