rates

Domestic rates are the local government taxation in Northern Ireland. Rates are a tax on property. Domestic rates consist of two components, a regional rate set by the Northern Ireland Assembly and a district rate set by local councils. Rate levels are set annually. Valuation and rating of property is handled by Land and Property Services. Domestic rates are unique to Northern Ireland, in the rest of the United Kingdom the local taxation is Council Tax.

    Day rates. Where do you draw the line between expensive and a rip off?

    South East. Non-gas plumbing. I ask because I don't want to cross that line but I'd like to have my toes on it whenever humanly possible. Also do you factor in materials/parts mark up when deciding on a day rate or is that a separate Brucey boner? Thanks.
