    PAYE Coding Notice tax code lower than expected

    I got a letter the other day giving me a coding of D0 - looked it up and it means no personal allowance. So I'll ignore it anyway - they'll get their money through SA at the end of the year anyway. But might be a question for accountants on the board - can we just ignore a PAYE coding notice if...

    Making my first company salary/dividend payment (SJD)

    Pay yourself a dividend (so long as there is a retained profit in your company i.e. your invoices have been paid into your company bank account and it has made a profit to cover the dividend payment along with the corporation tax). That should tide you over. Then just wait until SJD send you...

    NetworkersMSB

    I worked a contract through MSB - no issues, paid on time, etc. They merged with/got taken over by Networkers International to become NetworkersMSB. Again, after that, no issues with them.

    Swindon....

    Went up for an interview there last week. The only real hiccup was driving onto that 5 roundabout thing. The sat nav couldn't keep up with the direction changes so I had to go slower and slower round it until it could catch up. Was worth it though - bagged a six month contract. Anyone got a...

    Can I be honest in interview..??..

    If those were the actual answers you gave, it's good being honest but you might have come across a little negative? Give an honest answer but if it's not going to get you the contract, you could try following up your answers with more positive-ness [sic]. "....but I'm really interested to hear...

    SJD - annual return

    From some of the posts you've made recently, are you sure you're cut out to run your own company? Edit: Sorry, might be a bit strong. Just seems you haven't looked into running your own company. 1) Look at the details (and guidance) that Companies House has sent you. 2) Look at the first...

    Jobserve

    I'd second that. My last contract ended, I pinged a mate saying I was coming to the end of contract. He says he's looking for a contractor - start next Monday.

    Net dividend vs. gross dividend

    The £2000 you paid yourself is the net dividend. You need to add Corporation Tax onto that amount to get the gross dividend (I think it's currently 20%). The Corporation Tax acts as the Tax Credit.

    VAT Registration

    I applied back in June and got my VAT registration certificate last weekend, after having to send in proof of a contract. Then yesterday I get another VAT registration certificate along with a CD-ROM guide to VAT. So, if anyone wants a VAT certificate, I've one going spare :wink
