|  Topps Tiles | |
Hi Guys, just finished my tiling course which i really enjoyed. I'm going to stay in my old job whilst i do tiling evengings and weekends for the short term.
I went in to Topps Tiles the other day explaining that i had just completed my course and was looking to open a trade account with them. The guy behind the counter explained that they couldn't give me a trade account without being VAT registered, i'm not going to become VAT registered for the forseeable future because i'm only doing evenings and weekends. Just feel a bit stuck at the moment as i don't want to pay full retail price for all the products i buy from them..
Any advice would be great!
Thanks peeps.

Try a different local store or speak to a different person on the desk, I found it varies depending on who when and where! Pester them and they'll give in, it worked for me. | | |

Look up CTD ceramics, they sell at the same prices and are in most towns/cities. | | |

Evening Fellas!
Robbo you dont have to be VAT registered to set up a Trade Discount Card with us!
All you need is 2X invoices/receipts from 2 separtate Building, Tile retailers/outlets i.e. B&Q, Travis Perkins and so on... with THERE VAT numbers and a letter head or some kind of identification to prove you are a Tiler/Trader rather than a DIY customer just wanting some discount.
Robbo just out of interest which store did you go to for a trade card, which doesnt make any difference because they should set you up if you have the relevant information above. Let us know.
If you need any help with this issue please do not hesitate to contact me or GAZ @ Topps.
Regards
Steve @ Topps  | |
