I would doubt whether anyone at Royal Mail or the CWU has seen TNT Post's business plan however they have been quoted only last week as saying.....
a spokesperson for TNT Post in the UK told Post&Parcel that the article had suggested a full service would be launched, head-to-head against Royal Mail, which wasn’t the case.
“Nick was talking about new locations for trials,” said spokesperson Eimear Galvin. “It’s something that’s been under consideration, but nothing is being launched. The company cannot roll anything out until there’s changes in the VAT regime, and that’s something the government has to agree to change.”
But TNT can carry out as many 'trials' as they like in Liverpool, Earling, Kensignton, Chelsea, Fulham or any other densely populated area they choosen
and they can keep going on about VAT
but surely they're not going to be exempted from VAT if they're not offering a universal service, including rural addresses, and if they're only delivering one or two, not six, days a week.
