    Capital gains calculation - Is my self assessment correct?

    Is this the correct section for capital gains? - "Other property, assets and gains" Not "unlisted shares" ? As I got it from shares of a Limited Company ? When I put it under "unlisted shares" - but it showed no ERL option in the drop down.

    Closed my limited company to work on Plan B. I might have to start contracting again

    Capital distribution - It was a fairly large amount. If I set aside money for dividend tax, I'll make a net loss for atleast a year if I return to work. Pointless. I stopped trading in Dec 2015. I've been working on setting up Plan B since then. Does that not count at all? Only the liquidation...

    Closed my limited company to work on Plan B. I might have to start contracting again

    Yes, I took capital distribution when I closed down my limited company. Plan B is a self-employed business (at the moment. I might change it to a limited company or partnership once it grows a bit). Also, its in a COMPLETELY different area. I meant starting a new limited company for starting...

    SMP situation - seeking advice from accountants

    Thanks Darren I claimed SMP for 26weeks. SMP and the refund from HMRC was all accounted for in the cessation accounts. The question is regarding the rest of the SMP (13 weeks). My accountant said I can claim it directly from HMRC once my company closes. Based on this advice, I went ahead...

    SMP situation - seeking advice from accountants

    Thanks, but I am not asking "how to claim SMP from HMRC" Its about what to do now, given that my company has already filed its last corporation tax return, paid tax and closed down?
