    offered permy.. what to do with ltd company

    because its cheaper for them to outsource it than to train people. dont need to be a qualified accountant to fill in a self assessment.

    offered permy.. what to do with ltd company

    they guy who done last years accounts is trying to bill me £250 for doing my self assessment. Which I find quite odd as I removed the rights for his company to submit my return 12 months ago & I received no paperwork from them except for a bill. So we have divorced & not talking. I have found...

    Interview / Soft skills - Training - Any recommendation

    yea... I know that now, this was about 15-16 years ago. Now I interview them at my interviews. If I got that far, then they must be desperate to want me, so need to see if I am as desperate to do some work for them.

    Interview / Soft skills - Training - Any recommendation

    I just try to be honest. If I cant answer a question, I dont see the point lying about it... If I cant answer 3 or 4 Q's, then its not the role for me as it sounds like to much hard work. Worst interview I ever had was my chair was placed right in line of the sunlight coming thorugh a crack in...

    offered permy.. what to do with ltd company

    This is the thing, I dont know how much professional advice is - I have read £1500 just to call in a liquidator... and then up from there! Not sure how accurate that is. I owe X in Vat Y in Corp Tax Z in Misc & what is in the account just about covers all that at a push (well the with the...

    Perm/Contractor which job is easier to get?

    might be higher pay, but you won't get paid if you are sick, on holiday, have to go to a funeral, etc. Then you have to pay your business taxes, your accountant, liability & indemnity insurances, etc. before you even think of about wages.

    offered permy.. what to do with ltd company

    Did you not read my post? I am trying to do it properly, but not enough money in the business to pay an accountant. There is enough there to pay what I will owe in Corporation Tax, Vat & a small business loan. That part is not a problem. Enough money to pay my creditors. I am not sure what I...
