    I don't think so, no. It reminds me of when I used to smoke and after the first one of the day I'd be dying to drop the kids off at the pool.

    Do you drink coffee as well?

    Nope. Have some water, take my shake, go the gym, get to work, have another shake and then some porridge.

    But in the gym the urge to let rip is incredible. Then after breakky it's toilet time.

    Before the gym you mean? I never eat before the gym.. My first meal (minus shakes) is about 20 minutes after the gym.

    So what you're saying is there's a big market brewing for "Chefs own brand, pure food whey" ?

    Yep, the cheapest place for glucose is usually home brew shops now, usually called "brewing sugar".

    First 2 hits on google, €2 per kilo in a brew shop

    http://www.abbeygardensupplies.ie/brewing_products/brewing_equiptment/brewing_sugar_1kg_P634.html

    Vs €20 per kilo here! (its a 500g tub for €10, both shops are dextrose)

    http://www.powersupplements.ie/index.php/dextrose-powder.html

    Unsalted, unroasted nuts are also zero vat, moment you sprinkle on a suggestion of salt 23% more. Peanut butter is also zero, even if salted.

    I mean just change what you eat in the morning and see if it still flies through you.

    So with that 23% tax is it now going to be even better value to order off myprotein, bulkpowders etc... or will they be taxed too?

    It's not a new tax, MyProtein having been charging it for some time. Not sure about bulkpowders, but they should be charging it too.

    If they do over €35,000 worth of trade to here they have to pay Irish VAT, at least it goes to our government.

    Victim of their own success, if the sales drop off dramatically I guess they drop below €35,000 and do not have to charge VAT anymore.

    If I was a UK company I would consider limiting my business to €34,999 per year to here, you would have to work it out of course.

    Or set up a side company selling it as a food stuff, so you get zero VAT. You could just overlabel the fella on the packet to have a whisk in his hand instead of a dumbbell, and a chefs hat -instant zero rate VAT. And some stupid disclaimer on the pack, not for ingestion for sporting reasons.

    in fairness - 35000 is a ****ty amount , you'd hardly get a living wages off that.
    calling "success" is a bit of a misnomer.

    AFAIK 35k is the threshold for services. The sale of goods figure is over 2x that.

    Plus for a UK company there's no real marginal cost to selling goods into Ireland.

    Small shipping and admin charge, but A LOT of profit to be hand for very little effort.

    It's 35k (or perhaps 70k) worth in the Irish market, not the company whole. It's probably a fair assumption that its UK market is 10 times the Irish market. So 35k here is probably means a turnover of 3-4 million. For a web based company, with minimal overheads, and a ridiculously simply operation, I'd consider that pretty successful.

    I was really just using the phrase "vicitim of their own success", saying there are downsides to getting anyway big.

    http://www.revenue.ie/en/tax/vat/leaflets/distance-sales-eu.html
    Thresholds

    Under the EU VAT arrangements, Member States were required to adopt a distance sales threshold of either €35,000 or €100,000. Ireland has opted for €35,000.

    The value of distance sales of excisable goods should not be taken into account for the purposes of determining whether or not the threshold has been exceeded. If the threshold, excluding the value of excisable goods, is not exceeded the supplier may continue to account for VAT in the Member State from which supplies are made.

    There is no threshold for excisable products. Any supplier who makes distance sales of excisable goods e.g. alcohol, tobacco and oil to another Member State must register and account for VAT in that Member State. The sale of excisable goods are always subject to VAT in the Member State of arrival.

    I'm donating platelets tomorrow for the first time, and am wondering if anyone knows whether or not it'd be okay to exercise afterwards?
