    Ha de ha ha - Tory policies

    Zathras, I commend your knowledge of the figures. The problem I have is that I don't know if the Tories would've done any better over the past 10 years, and equally would do any better over the next 10 years. Both parties seem prone to the same errors in power, and quote equally wonderful...

    Ha de ha ha - Tory policies

    Are you really comparing the current Labour government with the one in 1979? General comment on this thread. Isn't it so annoying how 'spin' can be used to make either party look great. But who do you really believe..... don't ask me! As far as the last Tory government is concerned, I remember...

    Whats happened to Brookson?

    You'll probably find a much better explanation by searching this forum. MSC = Managed Service Company. This is what Brookson used to offer, in that they would do everything for you for a fee of about £30 a week. You could just sit back and receive your hard earned money each week with a pay...

    Whats happened to Brookson?

    I know Brookson got caught out by the new MSC legislation, and lost a fair few member because of it. But they now claim to be a ''leading accountancy and tax service provider to freelancer professionals'' rather than an MSC. I used to be one of their members and was very happy with their...

    Whats happened to Brookson?

    Last I heard they have over 7,000 people on their books, so sounds like they're doing ok to me..... lot better than Prosperity 4!

    Flat Rate Scheme

    I'm sure your accountant will advise you that it is above £2000 including VAT that you can claim VAT back on for capital purchases within the flat rate scheme. Is training a capital expense?

    Advice required

    I think you should definitely arrange a meeting with Brookson, if you can get hold of them. If you're not too far from Warrington I suggest turning up on their doorstep to guarantee a response. I left Brookson because they made a mess of setting up a limited company for me. They underestimated...

    Advice required

    Gareth I assume (as you're with Brookson) that you are paying yourself a directors salary of about £106 a week. The annual tax and NI bill on this ''salary'' will obviously be very low. The rest of your income will be via dividends (after corporation tax has been allowed for). You will not pay...

    Do you know the current state of your business finances?

    I'm with SJD, and now that I'm used to filling out the spreadsheet I'm happy with this method, as I know exactly where I am with my accounts at any time, it gives me the feeling of control I suppose. What does puzzle me though is that NW seem to do twice as much as SJD for half the cost. But...

    SJD

    I think there are a lot of people complaining on here who have changed over from the 'hand-holding' of their MSC companies and are now realising that running a company for real requires a bit more effort, and your accountant isn't going to do it all for you. And of course there are the trolls...

    02 being an arse

    Sockpuppet Do you have to stay with O2? You could always take your number to another provider and set up that contract in the company name. Its not always a smooth process though.
