Currently I am doing a lot of work and receiving money from invoices etc. It is an RBS account, I have been with them 12 years with no problems, and recently opened an ISA account with them without problems. I hope this will continue. I...

    Accountant wants credit card details of secretary?!?

    It seemed to be good enough for the FOREIGN AND COMMONWEALTH OFFICE submitting just those without meeting face to face...I would say their need for security is higher than an accountants

    Accountant wants credit card details of secretary?!?

    Nah it just pisses me off, this is clearly a way to extract more money from you under the guise of 'ID verification'...a debit card is a feeble way of verifying someone...I don't know why it is every companies obsession holding your card details these days

    Accountant wants credit card details of secretary?!?

    So he won't have any problems with me cancelling that debit card, straight after her ID is confirmed will he? something tells me he won't like that

    Accountant wants credit card details of secretary?!?

    Passport+utility bill from a water company would prove residence too...How would a debit card prove residence? What additional information does a debit card offer exactly?

    Accountant wants credit card details of secretary?!?

    Yeah right...I'm sure a bank statement with address will suffice...but it's handy having those card details right? I wager within 6 months payments will be coming off that card for 'additional fees' I'm just saying, that is not the only way to verify someone

    Accountant wants credit card details of secretary?!?

    I need some advice on something I found suspicious. My accountant who shall remain nameless, has asked the details of the company secretary to validate them, initially this was passport scan and a utility bill with proof of address...Fair enough....10 minutes later I get another email saying 'oh...

    Investing corporation tax in stocks/gold?

    the investment structure I have in place, a 5-10% return over 2 years is guaranteed...some of it will be in physical gold, what are the rules on this
  15. J

    Investing corporation tax in stocks/gold?

    What about putting the money into physical gold? which means you would pay for the gold with the business bank account, and then store it in a safe...would the accountant/HMRC or anyone have a problem with the money not staying in the business bank account?
