No, you lose the capital treatment if you carry on the same or a similar trade or activity within two years of a distribution that received capital treatment. Trade and activity are far more broadly drawn than being a director....

You mean the complexity of YourCo receiving deemed direct payments and then your paying that to yourself as salary and/or dividends without any further taxes due and accounting for that properly in your accounts? Yeah, it isn't that hard (especially with FreeAgent or similar), but I probably wouldn't...

[jamesbrown]

How much is left in aggregate to distribute? If it's less than £25k, then you should conduct a simple strike-off. An MVL is generally only worthwhile for amounts >> £25k.

[jamesbrown]

Yes, it's a problem if you don't have the new requirement documented and reflected in a contract mod and a new SoW, otherwise the working practices will show that the client moves you to whatever they want on a whim and working practices always trump the contract.

[jamesbrown]

Sure, but you can't lump all service industry into one basket. There's multiple things going on at the same time and some of them are chicken/egg, but the loss of our manufacturing base, the lack of any long-term strategy or funding of vocational education, the transition of the old polytechnics (many...

[jamesbrown]

Agree, technical education is way better in many other countries, like NL and CH and DE. We have far too many dead-end degree courses at dead-end universities that cost the students and, ultimately, the tax payer far too much....

[jamesbrown]

Thanks, IPSE. ...

[jamesbrown]

Yup. Anything more than a year is silly for several reasons, hence the move to a maximum period of one year by CAs and browsers etc.

[jamesbrown]

As we've learned from gricer, those two things can both be true....

[jamesbrown]

Or, in this instance, the plucky UK gov't gets on with the job of violently U-turning as their dull political antennae get crushed in a vice ...

[jamesbrown]

Ooooo, "HMRC supporter". I feel suitably chastised. Can we move this train wreck to general?

[jamesbrown]

The reason that literally everyone in your duplicate threads is claiming that you're either an idiot or a crook is because of your low-rent argument about it being a "grant" (well, that and your likely abuse of the DS01 process). If it was merely that you were unable to plan or run...

[jamesbrown]

You deserve zero empathy. You failed to plan adequately, you failed to understand the basic premise of a loan and now you're transparently trying to hide behind the fig leaf of "I was robbed" and "because QE". Again, you're incompetent at best and, at worst, a cynical fraudster....

[jamesbrown]

U-turn!

Are you thick as mince?

Idiots. ...

[jamesbrown]

Chuckle. The Insolvency Service has just been granted retrospective powers to investigate and prosecute directors of dissolved companies without having to reinstate those companies. If there is any evidence of misfeasance, and the evidence in this thread is that you’re pretty clueless, then said directors...

[jamesbrown]

You used DS01 for an insolvent company? ...

[jamesbrown]

I doubt you proffer much advantage to be taken. The noisy cretins are always the most useless in their chosen field because they're crap at listening and crap at working with others and try to compensate for being a bit crap by being a bit shouty. ...

[jamesbrown]

Oh, but there is indeed....
