Would anyone recommend their accountant?
Freeagent Freeagent For me (having used several spreadie-based accountants in the past) one using FreeAgent is a must. I use Maslins (as NLUK knows) and am very happy with the service I get.- Mojito

Today's Budget
Over-rides the 4/6-year discovery windows? Over-rides the 4/6-year discovery windows? So does the above in effect over-ride the discovery windows of 4/6 years - can the "charge" (plus interest presumably) be levied on loans where no enquiry has been raised? It looks like HMRC have picked an...- Mojito

Told HMRC I am unable to pay
HMRC can only petition for bankruptcy, a judge has to grant the order HMRC can only petition for bankruptcy, a judge has to grant the order I'd have to agree that particularly in light of the 2,000 APN's withdrawn from MontP clients, you'd have to look hard to find a judge that will grant a...- Mojito

FA Fan FA Fan Yup big fan - filing online from FA, realtime + across the piece view on current position on your Ltd's & employees tax position. Priceless. I could not go back to spreadsheets and a shoebox full of receipts.- Mojito

New Freeagent Accountant needed - recommendations?
Vote Maslin Vote Maslin I'm the aforementioned consumer of Chris' services and (as per previous posts and NLUK's censure) am a very happy bunny. FreeAgent is a great tool and the service wrapper round it - "you need to submit your VAT return TOMORROW Mojito" - keeps me on the good side of...- Mojito

Paying back what you haven't got.
Charge order Charge order So would a charge order over assets be something more appropriate rather than bankruptcy for any sane judge presented with a bankruptcy petition? Bankruptcy is not upheld so there's no blacklisting for FS contracts, the theoretical debt is held and may be wiped out...- Mojito

Paying back what you haven't got.
Forced bankruptcy on an unproven debt? Forced bankruptcy on an unproven debt? Does a bankruptcy petition not have to be approved by some external entity such as a judge? I'm sure that they would have a view on the fact that the HMRC debt on an APN is assumed in lieu of proof, and a basic tenet...- Mojito

Divorce and Wife Company Shareholder
KISS principles KISS principles I'd agree with this, it creates a very clear path from days worked on your timesheet to the amount you get paid on a reputable brolly's payslip. Solicitors, Barristers & judges (hopefully you avoid the dreaded FDR) will understand this and any settlement will...- Mojito

Contractor divorce
Money Erodes Amicability Money Erodes Amicability From personal & anecdotal experience, once reasonable sums of money are bandied around in divorce settlements then the 'amicable' relationship breaks down into an acrimonious one. It may not in your case but my advice would be to prepare for...- Mojito

Do I need to hire accountant on an ongoing basis for my simple case?
A proactive accountant that understands contracting is well worth the money. I'll not make any specific recommendations for fear of upsetting NLUK, but I will say that Freeagent makes the whole rigmarole a lot more bearable. If you try to save a few quid by doing DIY when you don't have (and...- Mojito

Contractor Ltd Co and divorce
move from 50/50 - affect on SM? move from 50/50 - affect on SM? Brillo - surely a move from 50/50 in favour of the STBX can be used to 'buyout' Spousal Maint and achieve the clean-break? Not sure if thats the norm, but thats how my divorce went (although more like 80/20!!), so I pay my (well...- Mojito
