LondoNa!: 【衣】英國萬萬稅之善用外國人身分退稅吧!! 最近看到PTT版上問退稅的相關問題，想到自己當初第一次來歐洲領觀光簽要去退稅時，也是一個頭兩個大，尤其時各家各國各店員都各說各話，如果不是跟旅行團來，還真的會不知所措。來倫敦念書後，陸陸續續也有親人和朋友來找我玩，來來回回也去機場送機退稅好幾次，所以就在這裡跟大家分享一些經驗，分享解答一些當初我也曾疑惑的點。=) 根據歐盟(EU)下面的獨立機構歐盟執行委員會(European Commission；EC)所公告：The Value Added Tax, or VAT, in the European Union is a general, broadly based consumption tax assessed on the value added to goods and services. 那你一定會好奇有哪些店可以辦退稅？ 退稅大致上分為兩個部分，一個部分是在店家完成，另一部分是在機場完成。 回家後就要把每一張單子都填好資料，在回國的那天提早到機場並且在check-in前辦理第二部分的退稅手續（這個部分通常就是跟排隊畫上等號 orz）。 這裡以我陪著去過的Heathrow第一航廈和第四航廈為例。 最後就要講一下前面提到的 Refund Option，其中我們最常選擇的就是 (1)信用卡以及 (4)現金了，這看起來很簡單，那到底大家在吵什麼？ Q1：到底可以退到多少錢？ 因為退稅公司會依據消費金額收取不同的手續費，而且想當然耳，每一家退稅公司一定又是收不一樣的（笑）。 ＊＊表格轉載請註明出處＊＊ Q2：哪個比較划算，哪個比較保險，可以保證退到錢或是退到比較多的錢？ 用信用卡好處是不會另外收取手續費，但是會被收取匯差（Currency Conversion Fee – explanation of fee 3%-5%），而且通常等你回國都已經忘記有這件事情，兩三個月過去後才默默的進了信用卡戶頭；而使用現金則要被收取額外手續費（而且是每張退稅單都要收取一筆手續費），但是好處是馬上就可以拿到錢，所以大部分人會感覺比較保險，但是根據這麼多次的經驗，個人是覺得他都一定會退給你，只是時間長短的問題。 Q3： 如果退到信用卡，那信用卡的持卡人可以跟退稅申請人不同人嘛？ Q4：退稅可以退到Debit card嘛？ 可以，儘管他單子上寫 NOT Debit Card。
The Questions Managers Want You to Ask During a Job Interview It's a query that can give an ill-prepared job seeker pause: So, do you have any questions for me? Interviewers will judge you by your questions. Almost all employers wrap up job interviews by turning the tables and offering candidates an opportunity to showcase how well they understand the role, how interested they are in the opportunity and what plays to their passions points. When the time comes to flip roles and grill your interviewer about the potential job, it can be tempting to ask pressing questions about salaries, hours and workload. But asking questions about vacation time, salary reviews and benefits might be red flags — and worst-case scenario, they might cost you the job. When asking your interviewer questions regarding compensation or scheduling, there’s an imminent risk of being perceived as self-serving. We asked managers what they actually want to hear candidates ask during an interview. 1. — Ragini Parmar, hiring manager at Credit Karma. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Ritika Trikha
SAYNOTO0870.COM - Non-Geographical Alternative Telephone Numbers Move Your Money | Bank on something better 欢迎使用国际普邮跟踪查询－－用户查询 Ethical alternatives to the Co-operative Bank | Money Can the Co-operative Bank continue to be ethical now that it will be controlled by profit-hungry US hedge funds? The former boss of the Co-op Group, Peter Marks, doesn't think so. This week he told MPs that the ethical label doesn't apply to the bank any more - and it appears many customers feel the same. If you are thinking about baling out of the Co-op Bank, but don't want to give your money to one of the "big four" banks, there are more options available than you might think. Identify your ethical priorities First, you need to think about your ethical priorities and areas of concern. You can read company annual reports and news coverage to get an idea of whether a provider's ethics match your own, but if that doesn't appeal, one of your first ports of call should be the website of banking campaign group Move Your Money UK. Current account options That said, the Co-op Bank only manages a Money Your Money switch score of 48 out of 100. So who gets the top scores? Savings accounts

Bar Estilo Restaurant The Cosmos Shop: [地點] 英國吃吃喝喝筆記 >>>注意：我打超久的，若要轉錄還請附上原作者和原址連結阿!!!!!!!<<< 為了金狗子即將前往英國，整理了一下自己日記裡面吃吃喝喝的筆記（有些還已經關門大吉了...遠目），雖然自己也沒有吃過什麼厲害的東西（自己一個人不會出去吃東西，每次都是朋友約了才出去吃飯）而只是微薄的小心得，但當他很堅定的說「我要過外食生活」時，我真心想跟他說還是別了吧，身為學生就是要自己做菜，因為那天現場和荷蘭及美國歸來的高材生們聊天之際，赫然發現大家同樣食物的價錢是一樣的...只是幣值單位不同!希望這點能給他一點警惕，要來英國唸書別說自己全部都要吃外食啊。 大部分按照不同類別（Japanese, Thai, Italian, Burger, Steak House, American/Mexican, English: Traditional Breakfast/ Suday Roast, English: Afternoon Tea, English: Fish & Chips, Kebab, Greek, Mediterranean, Turkish & Middle Eastern, Spanish, Portuguese, Belgian, Dutch Pancake, Hungarian, Russian, French (Brasserie), Modern European/ British, Indian, Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese, Cafe/ Patisserie/ Deli）。 + Japanese +關於日式料理，我特別想指出在那裡的時間內，我一直很希望能吃到芝麻豆腐，但是網路上查了半天只有真的很高級的餐廳有提供這道餐點，回台灣有次去平價豬排飯店看到，很興奮點了，卻被表了一道，因為它只是把豆腐下面浸著黑芝麻醬而已（翻桌）。 + Thai +一直深抱遺憾的是在Earl's Court那裡據說有家很妙的Thai Club，踏入儼然來到泰國，真想去試看看阿。 + Italian +義大利菜算是很不容易吃到難吃的東西，但是很多有時候義大利麵自己買醬買麵來作會更划算、也不難吃（甚至是蘑菇燉飯，我有時都覺得自己買速食包的奇妙蘑菇味道更吸引我!） + Burger +漢堡類幾乎都是連鎖店，彼此之間看起來也非常相似，有時候我會想他們之間也一定是抄來抄去的吧？

How to lose belly fat: The truth about slimming your middle What's the best way to trim your tummy? (continued) Can monounsaturated fats banish belly fat? A diet book called 'The Flat Belly Diet' posits the idea that you can lose belly fat by eating a 1,600-calorie diet rich in monounsaturated fats. Most people will lose weight on a 1,600-calorie diet. There is little question that when it comes to choosing fats, the monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAS) found in UK vegetable oil, rapeseed oil, olive oil, olives, avocados, nuts and seeds are among the best choices, with proven health benefits such as reducing the risk of heart disease. However, these are not magic foods capable of targeting belly fat, experts note. “I wouldn’t advise a certain number of calories in a diet because people have different calorie needs,” says Priya Tew. Can exercise flatten your abs? Hundreds of crunches each day won't flatten your belly if you need to lose weight. “It’s much easier to lose weight if you do a combination of diet and exercise together,” says Priya Tew.
