I have been drawing a monthly salary since April 2016 but my contract is finishing next month.
My accountant says since I won't be trading in September, I am not allowed to draw a salary. Is that true?
What about expenses? Even though I'm not trading, ie don't have a contract, I'm still the director of my company and am running it, so should I be allowed to draw a salary, as well as expenses from September onwards?

Originally posted by Paddy View PostYour accountant is cr@p. You should continue to draw salary. If you are looking for contracts then you claim expenses such as travel. You can even make yourself redundant and pay yourself redundancy. If you want, you can then fold up the company and start again with a new company.
Redundancy? Are you sure?
Closing the company and restarting. Are you sure?
