I'm interested in seeing what members say Gary but could I extend your question a little?
What legislation would help the landscape and horticulture industry?
Absolutely, topic modifed/extended....
VAT hated by every business.
Why should we as business owners, have to add a now 20% onto our prices?
Why indeed should small businesses, vat registered, just be tax collectors and do the paperwork for them.
As LJN perhaps now is a good time to start a campaign to exempt Horticulture, making our world greener and better place, from VAT.
Now, there is a positive thought to talk about.
Good luck with that one!

Legislation to end the uncertainty of who is an employee and who is an independent worker/self employed. We should be allowed to decide our own status.

When was the last time anybody checked if you had a pa1 /pa6 do the course pay your cash but I feel you are in the minority, never checked.
I also feel you should have to be on some sort of register to show you have got the above certs along with public liability insurance.
Separately, when we respond to commercial opportunity we provide a Co. Overview, verification of insurances, a short bio of each person and our licenses etc.
It makes the client stop and think.....
