    Do you have to pay tax on scrap copper?

    Do you have to pay tax on money received from weighing in copper from household cable, Swa etc? I guess you do as we have to pay tax on everything we do nowadays, I am just getting more and more jobs with loads of tat and need to weigh it in soon so just making sure I am doing my books right.

    Difference in scrap price between pvc insulated twin & stripped cable.

    I’ve got a hell of a lot of scrap cable in my garage. I know it would take a long time but is it financially beneficial to strip the cable or does it not make much difference?

    @gaz101 's thread got me thinking about stripping all my scrap cables rather than taking them in for weighing with all the insulation on. The cable I have is nearly all 1mm-6mm.

    Scrap

    Just wondering what everyone does with their scrap? I've got loads of rubble sacks full of all sizes ranging from 1mm to 25mm. I couldn't be arsed stripping the small stuff but might separate the bigger stuff (old tails, bigger armour) as I might get round to strip it? Is it worth it?
