Anonymise will remove all *personal data (apart from names which will be replace by the Id), and where any *personal data exists within notepads and correspondence it will be hashed (#####) rather than removed.

Email Logs
From the Actions menu of the Email Logs (Tools -> Email Log) you have the option to Anonymise Deleted Internet/Baggage Enquiry Email Logs. These options will process the Email Log and will hash the recipient and email address of any Internet/Baggage email log where the Internet/Baggage Enquiry has been deleted.

Caveats
•    Subject Access Request and Anonymise is only available for individuals, therefore, if a Company name exists then the options are disabled.
•    When anonymising a Customer that has accounting activity then the name will not be replaced by the Id.
•    If any notepad/correspondence contains personal information that are not in specific Customer/Internet/Baggage fields then these will remain and will be your responsibility to remove/hash.
•    The contents of Repository Documents cannot be checked; therefore, this will be your responsibility to view/edit/remove these.
•    If an Internet/Baggage Enquiry has been converted to a Customer you will need to Anonymise the Customer too.
•    Addresses will not be removed. If all other personal data has been cleared then keeping an address is only identifying a location rather than an individual, which means that analytical data can still be gathered in the future (Move Administer 2), but more importantly when taking a new enquiry Move Administer can still identify if the customer already exists on the system, even though no personal details exist, but then you are taking these again at the time of enquiry 😊

Insurance Premium Tax Increase

May 29th, 2017 No comments

Please note: This only affects you if you are an insured remover!

I am sure you are well aware the Insurance Premium Tax rate increases from June 1st from 10% to 12%. Once this was announced, back in 2016 we made the necessary internal changes to Move Administer to ease the pain of this increase.

As per the increase from 6% to 9.5% on November 1st, 2015 the following still remains:

Removals
If you invoice your removal customer in May for an May move then the IPT rate is 10%.
If you invoice your removal customer in May for a June move then the IPT rate is 12%.
If you invoice your removal customer in June for an May move then the IPT rate is 10%.

Storage
If you invoice your storage customer in May for May then the IPT rate is 10%.
If you invoice your storage customer in May for May to July then the IPT rate is 10%.
If you invoice your storage customer in May for June then the IPT rate is 12%.
If you invoice your storage customer in June for May then the IPT rate is 10%.

The general rule is that the rate of IPT is decided upon the commencement of the contract and not the date/tax date of the invoice.

Move Administer already has a VAT/IPT Adjustments process on the Tools menu, however, minor tweaks have been made to ensure only the IPT is affected. When the process is executed the IPT rate will increase for all Services, unaccepted Quotations, unaccepted Quotation Services, current Storage and current Self Storage. With regards to Services, Quotations and Quotation Services the totals will be recalculated accordingly.

In October 2015 HMRC confirmed to me that if you are quoting in October for removals taking place in November then you can quote IPT at the new rate of 9.5%, so I don’t see this increase any being different, therefore you can quote for work from June onwards at the new IPT rate of 12%. However, to do this, I would recommend you create a new tax code (Tools -> Options -> Accounting -> Tax Codes) and set the rate at 12%. Your default IPT code will remain at 10%, but if you know the customer is moving on or after June 1st you can change the IPT code from within the quotation itself, also remembering to change it on any additional service you may be charging insurance and therefore IPT.

I hope this helps.

The Movers & Storers Show 2016

September 9th, 2016 No comments

The Movers & Storers Show is taking place on Tuesday November 1st and Wednesday 2nd, and this year has relocated to Hangar 42 at Bruntington Aerodrome!

After much deliberation it has been decided that we will not be exhibiting this year. This decision was not taken lightly as we have supported the show since it’s inception, and are usually one of the first exhibitors to book floor space, however, it is felt that developments in the industry do not warrant an annual conference, so have decided to take a sabbatical – but fear not as we do intend to return in 2017!

So, we have decided to hold a meeting a week or two after The Movers & Storers Show for Move Administer users at Old Thorns Hotel, located just off the A3 near our offices. We intend to show what we have achieved to date and what our short and long term goals are, including details on ‘apps’ we intend to release after Move Administer 2. Most importantly it is a way for us to be guided by our users in a collective manner, so do come prepared with questions, in return we have questions for all attendees.

We suggest the meeting be attended by regular users of Move Administer, as these are the people that matter most to us. Dependant on numbers we are hoping to make the day free of charge, but there may be a small nominal £20 charge per head for a hearty two course carvery lunch in the Kings Carvery Brasserie. And for those traveling from afar we will seek to get a room hire discount code, plus we will be available in the Sports Bar the evening before the meeting for an informal get together.

Watch your emails for a forthcoming survey which I trust will aide us to choose a date and calculate the number of attendees.

We look forward to seeing you in November!

Ps. Don’t forget to register for The Movers & Storers Show here.
PPs. No attendee is allowed to ask for a Move Administer 2 release date! wink
