@TheCyclingProgrammer - good points. I thought you were suggesting the sections quoted directly in your original post supported the 'not significant' definition - which I still don't think they do. However, now I've read the HMRC link in full, and in particular their examples, I would completely agree with you on this one.

If it’s in the business name, then see my arguments already made in this thread.
If it’s in your name you can’t claim anything.Comment
