    Contract clause headache

    Interesting .. how exactly does this work? Is there anywhere I can find more details on this?

    Contract clause headache

    There was a deal of coercion when I signed the original contract to opt-out - I believe that otherwise, the tie-in period would have been 8 weeks, thus avoiding this issue ... I might have some emails still lurking with this ...

    Contract clause headache

    Well, the agent has sources in place I think .. he's put in several people here over time, although most of them are now gone. He must have been doing a fair bit of snooping I think ... very sneaky. How does a B2B arrangement change this? Can this render the contract clauses invalid, or is this...

    Taxes in the US

    End of year question

    When the annual accounts are being completed, if I have raised an invoice in say mid March, and the invoice gets paid in mid April - does this amount get added to this years or the next years turnover figures ??? Just trying to figure out what my company turnover will be (and how much CT to set...

    I asked my accountant the same thing recently - and was advised to just pay for it myself ... so I did.
