- Commercial Invoicing
- INCOTERMs specific to receiving country legislation
- Correct application of Harmonised Tariff Codes
- Correct diligence for 'dual use' products (red flags)
as a minimum.
So, 250,000 x 30 seconds = 7,500,000 seconds = 260days, assuming an 8 hour day. If 'Company X' paid minimum wage at UK rates, that would be a cost of £17,104 in salary alone. Bear in mind that salary is 30-50% of the cost of an employee...
The customs union and single market remove that cost |
Are you seriously advocating that we shouldn't pay hard working employees a minimum wage?
Wow
