    £50000 Child Benefit threshold

    I've just completed the BBC's Budget Calculator putting in salary and div's over 60k and it showed me as still being eligable. The blurb in the box next to the figure stated that I'd still get the child benefit but would receive an additional tax. Strange...does this sound correct?

    think I need to get married

    Don't get me wrong it's not that I don't want to, we have a kid everything is good I guess we've both been of the opinion that it's not going to change anything. It does however appear that this government doesn't think the same way :wink My understanding of S660 is there is an exemption for...

    think I need to get married

    Well me and the missus have been together nearly 10 years and have never bothered getting married but looking since I'm being battered by higher rate tax on div's etc it looks like I'm missing out on some significant savings from giving her a share of the company. She doesn't work so we may as...

    New Macbook Pro?

    What's the best way of getting a decent Discount on a MBP and still be able to put it through the Co. Also does anyone know if the £2k VAT flat-rate threshold is for a single invoice or single item? just wondering if I could stick some accessories on there at the same time.

    Mortgage with the Woolwich

    I would contact someone like Contractor Money who can help you with your application with Woolwich and won't charge you a fee. I think a lot of it is how they present your figures and some have special arrangements to allow you to get a mortgage based on contract rate alone.
