This is a question Abusing freebies

A friend of mine recently attended a 'Champaign Lunch', where he was compelled drink as much fizzy stuff as he could between the first and last courses. In an ideal world we'd ask restaurant staff to tell us stories about fatties stuffing themselves at All You Can Eat places, but we recognise that our members don't all work in the catering trade, so for the rest of you - tell us something about abusing freebies. BTW: Bee puns = you fail.

I work for the telly!
Hmm I work for a "steve" as a freelance writer, this takes me around the country (and the world a bit), I usually get a few freebies, dvds of projects I have worked on,posters etc, Noel fielding painted me a picture once. Its on my wall (if you want proof i'll post a piccy).

best freebie ever though, I got a digital hd camera for free, a company that leases camera's and other filming stuff went bust , and we had a massive load left over.

Previous to my current job I worked for a gambling site as a security developer, I use to take servers , computers , laptops , projects ,screens, ram ,hdd.

And I worked for a bank before that as a It security manager , I disposed of a fair few machines by putting the "broken" ones in my car.

Hmmm
Not very amused by the 'I like this' blackmail.

Would like to see how to claim the VAT back though.

Tell you what, I'll click 'I like this' after you spill the beans. And I suggest everyone else does likewise.

here!
Right
3 steps.

register yourself to pay vat , as a voluntary "business" say you need the item your going to claim back from for business use, then you can claim via customs your vat back you will get a cheque, devregister was a business saying you have decided not to trade, you will not have to pay the vat back, plus its not illegal...

But I stress this you must not sell the item becuase you will have to pay capitol gains tax!
And not paying that is FRAUD!

I will not be held responsible for any advice given here etc.
