NICEIC Certification Scheme Niceic test

VAT threshold is £79K based on turnover - for ANY 12 months HMRC choose.

If 2 people don't create £79K in 1 year they need to go shelf stacking in Tesco's.

How much would you say is a typical amount to earn for a one man band like me? I say, so long as I bring home enough to pay the bills and a bit more I'm happy.

VAT registration is not based on earnings, it based on turn over, so the sum total of your invoices to customers......

If you are SE and do lots of high value "installs" you could easily smash through the £81K threshold - and remember HMRC can apply ANY 12 month period that suits them - not you!

On the other hand if you do a lot of labour-only work then you can have a relatively low turnover.

The OP talks about doing their own rewires.....

If your just doing domestic forget about the NIC go with Stroma they are much cheaper and they all provide the same thing. ALL domestic customers havnt got a clue what the scams are so having an NIC sticker on your van means nothing.

Only today I had a potential customer ask me if I was NIC registered they didn't say are you part P registered. Must be all the Subliminal advertising the NICEIC do lol.

vat registered ?? Wow wow wow wow
I'm talking small fry to start , just mostly
minor works and full rewires when they come along.

I understand we need to be registered with them lot
if we do any work such as :

working in bathrooms
outside lights
extra sockets
Any new installations
and board changes

I can't see the point in being an electrician who
can only do minor works so at present I'm willing to pay the fee to them.

im fancing elecsa at the mo?

anyone have a preference ?

Lee.where in Wales are you,I have worked a lot in many of the council areas and have yet to find any local authority with the slightest interest in compliance with part P (other than on their own tendered work)

If you are doing private domestic,few if any exactly gives a hoot about part p compliance especially the householder?

If you do register,you certainly can rewire that empty house and get the scam to inspect
To the letter of the regs you are supposed to inform the council and pay a large fee,but why pay (if you can avoid) in order to do the job you were trained for ?

South Wales , Bridgend area.
The only time the building inspector cares I guess is
if it's say an extension on a house , where they want to see the
Test certificate, the owner of that house would surely want an
electrician who can sign their own work off to wire that extension.

So If the council don't care, do some electrians get away with doing major
works and don't issue any certificate and move onto the next job
if the home owners don't care ?
