VAT, as you may know, is an indirect tax that is applied to all sales – including business-to-consumer and business-to-business sales. At the moment, the laws of the European Union guide the VAT system of the UK.
In fact, the EU has its own VAT system that all of the member states use. However, once we enter the post-Brexit world, it goes without saying that VAT will change, probably for both businesses and consumers.
In short, business owners may soon have to use another type of VAT calculator in order to find out how much they have to pay for the goods that they import...

You don't have to be a bottle blond to join the outrageous Circus of Horrors but you may be asked to fit in a bottle.
The Circus of Horrors were looking for a new Pickled Person to join their show for their performances in Exeter Corn Exchange on the 22nd June.

A survey of 500 millennials with investable assets of £25,000 or more by Exeter-based law firm Michelmores LLP, counters the view that millennials are a generation reaping the hard work of the baby boomers. Michelmores’ research reveals that;
80 per cent of respondents in the South West say they have generated these...
So the new decade is here at last. As the clocks chimed midnight on December 31st there were plenty of us hoping that the new year would also ring in the end of discord and herald a future in which Brexit would no longer dominate in the way it had for the previous three years.
One particular area that felt its effects has been the property market so there have been many hopes pinned on the possibility that the sluggish performance of 2019 could be reversed as we head into the 2020s.
So what could this mean for Exeter and surrounding areas in the near future? And could this...

Paignton Zoo is sad to announce that senior male lion Lucifer has had to be put to sleep.
Zoo spokesperson Phil Knowling: “Lucifer was 17 years old, so he was a good age for an Asiatic lion. He was, like a lot of us, showing signs of wear and tear on his body. He had some weakness and ataxia – that’s wobbliness in his hind limbs – he would stagger occasionally, especially when going up and down steps, and often stumble.”
Senior mammal keeper Helen Neighbour worked closely with Lucifer: “He was a lovely male lion – in that he was grumpy and bad tempered, but not too much. He...
The new year represents a momentous occasion in the history of Exeter College, marking 50 years since being named as the UK’s first tertiary college, although their roots date back to the 1800s.

Let’s get a couple of minor niggles out of the way first.
Niggle number one: Our starters were delivered to the wrong table, where a pair of casually-dressed young chaps gleefully accepted them, despite the fact the food wasn’t what they ordered.
You’d be right to expect that annoyed me no end but I, in fact, forgave the minor misdemeanour, because one of the recipients was my old mate, Radio Exe DJ Ashley Jeary, who looks like he could do with a good meal, or two, or maybe three.
Niggle number two: After waiting 20 minutes for our starter, the wrong soup was served...
