They don't put the letter through your box. They put a card through saying you have a delivery that has a charge associated with it, and you can collect from post office/sorting office upon paying the charge.
Weird how they put barcodes on stamps to try and make it harder to counterfeit...

I imagine they take out insurance. But if you recall the Silicon Valley Bank failure around 1 year ago, there were many start ups that had all their cash in that bank. Initially they were wiped out (Friday), but then the government stepped in and announced it would cover it (Monday), bet that was a...

I have only ever worked as an outside IR35 contractor, my entire career starting in 2001. I did once or twice apply for permie roles, but always the question "I see you've only every been a contractor, are you just applying for a permie role because the market it dead just now?". The only...

Holding crypto in Ltd Company?
Does anyone have any knowledge of the tax and accounting treatment of crypto investments through a ltd company? I have googled and read what I can, but that has not really made things much clearer. Am I right in thinking:
* Crypto so long as its not actively traded will be taxed like any...
