I recently quoted to carry out works on a house, bearing in mind the current economic suituitation, and the customer told me that i was still living in celtic tiger ireland as regards the price(i know my prices are correct) and she has a guy starting on monday(last) and he's at least 40% cheaper than me.
I happen to know this guy and happen to know he is doing the job for cash.
He is also on the dole with a wealth of entitlements so its easy for him to beat my quote as i pay public&employers insu,paye,prsi,registration fees,vat,income tax,prelim tax for the year in advance,safety statement,safe pass,accountancy fees....excetera,excetera.
It sticks in my throat to see this happen while i payout pratically all my megere income in costs and this guy rides into the sunset unabated whilst the client dosent pay a red cent in vat.
Who and where can i contact to bring down this particular house of cards as it appears the powers that be seem only interesrted in enforcing the law on anyone who has respect for it and those in the black market,including customers,are lording it up at someone elses expense!!
Rant over,Pache.
