    Interview Expenses?

    I wonder would cadbury's ask you to pay their advertising bill for their sponsorship of Coronation Street just because you expressed an interest in their chocolate bars? No didn't think so... Interview costs are marketing/advertising and a real company pays these themselves. However if its a...

    Whats the process...

    Thanks, I had no doubt that you actually knew the answer as usually in the past you have been knowledgeable (is that how to spell it??) on almost all aspects of running a company. And yes you were right Google would have been a good starting point I just didn't appreciate the sarcasm at the time...

    Whats the process...

    FFS !!! I've spent years here giving out advice that usually is helpful. First time I ask for anything back I get this sh1te! Malvolio you really do need a personality transplant!!! If you can't be bothered to help at least allow the rest of us the decency of being spared your rather flawed...

    Salary Payments & HSMP

    Usually income in the form of dividends is not included in these figures as they could be earned from any investment not just your 'employment'. It would seem odd to give someone a HSMP if they could guarantee to make 40K in dividends on say their HSBC shares. If I required to earn a certain...

    I can't believe that anyone in this day, age and profession would have any colour, sex, disability or sexual preference bias at an interview. The only way I can ever see an interviewer seeing it as a problem is if he/she notices that you are uncomfortable with it. Please grow up...

    Computer Equipment and VAT thru company

    Hmmm the above isn't necesarily a problem so long as you are willing to take the Benefit In Kind hit, obviously it would have been cheaper to buy it out of taxed income but people do the strangest things. What you should never do though is buy something for 'personal' use through the company...

    Agency and IR35

    Whenever I take on sub-contractors to work on projects I source from my clients I always factor their invoices (via LloydsTSB). It's about 1.8% of the invoice value. If I remember right its 85% on invoice submission and the remainder (minus their fees) when they get paid. The only downside is...
