    Tax man takes a cut of Patreon funds I believe.

    What doesn’t he take a cut of? I call HMRC Nottingham castle and the employees the sheriff of!

    Perhaps what's needed is a donate button, lots of forums have these and no doubt XenForo forum software has the mechanics to set it up?

    It takes from your donation so if you give 2 qiud it takes 20% I'm assuming the site ,"latebay" also would pay tax .
    I'm not against paying tax at all btw.

    Neither am I within reason. It’s way beyond reason now imo!

    I think it's Patreon that takes the cut?
    But Patreon is not really what's needed for this kind of thing? I like it in general though it's really for selling things.
    A simple paypal donate button at the top would do the job.

    it could come from 1000 people but we’ve always said we will never charge a normal user and want to stick to it.

    I’m sure something will turn up. We’ve got almost a year

    This sounds the best idea, all the info and question I've asked and help ive received I would have happily made a donation, i think most people would,

    I set one up for Canadian YouTuber

    I wonder if you can claim that back in some circumstances, it sounds like being put on what used to be known as an emergency tax rate here when your employer didn't have your P60 from previous employer - you got hit but it all sorted out in the end.
     
  11. Few users of TLB are normal, so that solves that problem :thumbsup:

    I’d be up for a donate button.

    I'd be up for a donate button too, then you can appeal when the funds are looking iffy.
    It works on these kind of sites because we all own expensive toys, pretty well nobody here would miss the odd £10 or £20 to keep the site going.

    I’ll be in charge of the subs, if everyone pays into my post office savings account then I’ll transfer some of it( less handling) to @hailfrank job done :thumbsup:

    Why don't all of us who are insured by Cherish/A-Plan (and I'm sure there are quite a few) threaten to move our business elsewhere unless they continue to sponsor TLB?
     
  17. Having done lots of advertising/sponsorship I would say that is very good value for the right company.
    The Late Bay not only has lots of members, but they are very active and spend a huge amount of time on the site.

    Good luck.

    luckily we’re not that type of forum. No pitch forks or burning mops

    I'll ask my friend who I do the memorials for, but I'm not sure Affordable Memorials fits the bill. He did ask me once about advertising on the radio station I'm on but it wouldn't be in the best taste advertising memorials there o_O

  20. I'd have thought that would have gone down a storm, especially if he offers a discount
