No Toby, it’s not a mission to discredit you at all.

If you are going to imply tax irregularities you should back it up with facts.

That’s all.

Please, he didn’t allege or even imply impropriety. He said things will change. In the future.
I’m curious, who’s paying you to be so irrational and oblivious or are you doing this on your own with no help?
Or is English your 4th language?
Never mind.
No he said taxes will get you soon

End of the year is coming soon

That references the end of the tax year. IF there was irregularity that’s when it’s due.

He hasn’t made that statement to any other brand distributor. Why?
UK Tax year is April to April. The UK is due to transition to a state of employing contract negotiators to create trade deals in December - assuming more political shenanigans don't take place before then

I thought your joke was funny though Toby. Worthy of Henning Wehn.

+1 I did think that Core was a "good" company and I know someone who knew the owners from his days back in Sri Lanka - but this thread appears to call into question their business efficacy, on the basis of their suggested associations :-?

This is from Core's website. Notice the last 7 words. Hell even Core says your full of BS Captain.
Compatibility

The Sensor 3/3+ bar is fully compatible with the XR6, XR6 LW, XR5, XR5 LW, XR4, XR4 LW, Riot XR3, Riot XR3 LW, Riot XR2, Riot XR2 LW, Riot XR, Riot XR LW, Nexus 2, Nexus 2 LW, Nexus, Nexus LW, Free, Free LW, GTS5, GTS5 LW, GTS4, GTS4 LW, GTS3, GTS3 LW, GTS2, GTS, GT, XLITE, Section 3, Section 3 LW, Section 2, Section 2 LW, Section, Section LW, Impact 2, Impact and :thumb: lots of 4-line kites by other brands :thumb:

Hell but you will just double down and say every kite just flies better with a Core bar now.
Well, that's a different issue isn't it? That's Core trying to sell their bars to any and everyone, far be it from me to deny or call that out, but it wouldn't be my personal advice. This whole diversionary red herring came about because I made the statement that flying a bar from another manufacturer of any brand is rarely a good idea. So yes of course I could double down and blindly say except Core bars they are so wonderful they'll fly everything. But that would be bullshit. The KISS advice is stick within a given brand unless you really know your shit, kite and control bar. That's not to say you can't do it, but like I said earlier, its rarely a good idea.

That wasn’t humorous or about Brexit.

No mention of Tax was made until YOU alleged there was an impropriety with zero evidence
You don't know what you're talking about.

Educate yourself about import duties/tariffs, which are taxes. Then consider how a UK company currently importing kite equipment from another country in the EU will very likely have to start paying import duties/tariffs when it leaves the EU (and the EU customs union, obviously).

PS - The default position is that the UK leaves the EU customs union on 31st December 2020 aka end of year.

Ah so you read Tobys mind and that was the perspective he was coming from?


OR what could easily happen is that the product is imported from the factory location which is already outside of the EU and Un effected by Brexit bollocks.
.

As was the situation long before in Europe set up distribution hubs and you dealt with the brand and looked after import on your own.

EVERY brand sold in the U.K. will face challenges post Brexit in terms of where and how product is brought in making out it’s a Core is sour is disingenuous

But I guess you knew all that?

Doing a bit of digging and you sure do spend a lot of time on Core topics, kinda odd? What’s the fascination? Did they not give you a deal once upon a time? or is it a social justice campaign?
