    SIC code for travel blog ownership and making money of adverts

    That's exaclty what is happening at the moment with AI generated content. I did not believe it until I saw £X000 (X>2) per month income from adsense with such content. It did not take much time either: <6months to get there. It involves time and effort so being a secondary revenue stream in my...

    SIC code for travel blog ownership and making money of adverts

    They are not useless at all. For most part everything is still there, and Kenya is still the go to place for safaris. :) There is no real USP. For one reason or another google allows you to have a blog with more or less AI generated content. And pays you for adsense. FB has some competitive...

    SIC code for travel blog ownership and making money of adverts

    ​​​​​​Which of my posts make you believe that? being off topic in this section of the forum is bannable, no? Or the rules don't apply to you being green nickname. But to answer your question, yes and no. Mostly no, as I have 100s of articles and content from my travels over the last 20 years...

    Buy to let mortgage vs director's loan for corporation tax purposes.

    Hi all I seem to remember from long time ago that if a company takes a BTL mortgage both capital and interest repayment are tax deductible. Also I remember that if a it's a director's loan to company only the interest is tax deductible. The capital must be repaid back from the taxed profit...

    Buying properties with LTD

    It is most definitely possible if you don't need mortgage. If you do, then it depends on the lender, but in theory possible. ​​​​​​If not, convert your LTD to SPV.

    Buying properties with LTD

    I did it the other way around. ​​​​​​I converted my cash rich LTD into SPV. Opened another LTD for IT contracting. BTL mortgages were about 0.5% worse to this converted spv, than BTL mortgage to a new spv. I went for cash buy at the end. Been getting 13% ROI. Not bad. This is the most tax...

    Inside ir35 contract and expenses 

    I got the impression no expenses are allowed in ir35 contract. however agency and umbrella both keep mentioning expenses recovering sheets for things like visiting client's office. What's the story with these and am I missing something? Each visit for me is £x00 per week.

    Avoid paystream umbrella like the plague

    Staring a new contract. paystream are on the agency's short list. Contacted them with a few simple questions, with very clear instructions what I wanted. ​​​​​​No, they still didn't get it. Wanted to call me despite clear instructions not to. Stupid time wasters. I don't want to think what would...

    Holding Company

    True. however from experience: some lenders will work with repurposed ltd. The difference between the best offer interest with brand new spv and my offer was 0.3%. So entirely doable. And saved me £xx xxx in taxes, fees and charges with the MVL route.

    Holding Company

    For property investment you can just convert your existing company to property investment company and use the existing funds. I am not sure about stock investment. If you want to go MVL it will cost you. The liquidator charges, I have seen figures of £3000. There's also the 2 year rule. And...
