    Can salary ever be not deductible for CT purposes?

    You need to grow up. If you can't, leave and don't let the door hit you in the a**e too hard. It's a public forum and northernladuk made no threats or offensive comments. Maybe public forums aren't for you....

    tax avoidance letter from HMRC Early intervention team

    Honestly, it's nice to see HMRC proactively engaging in situations like this - many people who have faced massive bills after HMRC inactivity for 20+ years can only dream of early intervention like this. Contact HMRC, be honest, you made a mistake and they told you early enough that you aren't...

    Things about to get very serious and much more real? / Felicitas Letters

    Was there no issue with HMRC? Or had you settled that too? I'd assumed writing off 99% loan would create a significant tax liability?

    Did you register with an HMRC email address?

    Government to consult on tax avoidance in the private sector

    But for HMRC to release this within 48 hours of losing an IR35/contractor case AGAIN - if HMRC cannot get the rules right, what hope is there for the private sector? The CEST tool gives an HMRC-view of IR35 which doesn't seem to take account of cases decided at tribunal. As usual, the whole...

    Tax owed, what happens now?

    Don't worry yourself too much about it Don't worry yourself too much about it I know I know, easier said than done. I had a conversation with HMRC DMB in which I offered to pay the most I could afford - I was told that I had to pay at least twice this much a month to get an agreement. Three...

    Finding the money LC19 - Remortgage / Equity

    Absolutely agree with GW - I would think that some people maybe better off applying for unsecured loans from Tesco/Sainsburys etc - some 2.9-3.1% APR deals available. If you do this now, you'd have no problem honestly telling the mortgage company in a couple of years that you wanted to extend...

    Current NAS recommendations

    For backup purposes I have an offsite cheap 2-bay NAS (a QNAP TS219P) with 2 x 8GB drives. I use RTRR to backup data (incrementally) from my critical NAS over FTTC.

    Pet Insurance - How much do you all pay?

    Just over £500 for a 2 year-old German Shepherd. For me, it's not just about the medical expenses but the third-party coverage in case he should injure someone or cause a road accident.

    SC clearance with a caution, help required.

    I think honesty is the key - after all, you're not going for DV but SC. What the security check needs to ascertain is whether you are trustworthy or could be subject to external pressure. If you fail to disclose criminal history and they discover it, it would have been the kind of information...

    What are the risks if an agency "amends" the IR35 status

    The latter. The exact text of the notification was:- "Following the communications sent to your Personal Service Company on 24/02/2017 explaining the way in which reforms to IR35 will affect workers who engage through a PSC on assignments where your services are delivered to a Public Sector...

    What are the risks if an agency "amends" the IR35 status

    So, I have been notified by my agency in writing that, after consultation with the final PS end-client that we are considered off-payrole and outside the new legislation :) I am concerned, however... now that this decision has been communicated, how easy would it be for the agency/end-client to...

    Client ANPR cannot read my number plate. New one as an expense?

    Surely the main reason congestion charge ANPR cameras can't charge motorbikes is because they don't display a number plate to the front??? :igmc:

    Sonos Play 5?

    I did have a Play:5 in the guest bedroom but it went kaput last year. I replaced it with a pair of Play:1 units. Very happy with the result.
