   Piffle?   
      
     made only two statements:   
      
   a. VAT is paid on up to 28 days   
   b  VAT is not paid over 28 days.   
      
   As you said piffle, rather than total piffle I assume you are not suggesting   
   I am wrong on both counts.   
      
   So you disagree with case a or b. ?   
      
   However I have read the rule and both are correct..
