HMRC gives free money..!
..well not quite. A substantial credit has appeared on my bank account which I don't recognise, all the statement says is "SA". I called my bank and they said that's Self Assessment, and they've credited me money back into my account so speak to them. However upon looking at my self...- Pacman

Driving to work
I have business use on my insurance, as technically I'm visiting the client's site in the guise of my LTD. For the extra few quid, its a no-brainer, you're always covered then.- Pacman

Buying a car
Evening all As the search facility won't let me search on "car" I thought I'd post... What is the forum's view of my Ltd buying a new car instead of me personally?

Online PAYE forms
There are no forms to fill in. I pay quarterly, I just have HMRC as a "payee" in my Internet banking with my reference number as a reference, and pay them the required amount every quarter. Make sure you're not late with paying them!!- Pacman

www.fixitlocal.co.uk
Its not a percentage as such, there's a "modest monthly membership fee" which you pay to fixitlocal, then when you get the call, you charge the customer direct. I'm still at the early stages of thinking about it, there's not actually that much info on their website for potential businesses...- Pacman

www.fixitlocal.co.uk
I'm thinking of signing up with www.fixitlocal.co.uk to generate extra revenue streams. On paper it looks good, but I was wondering if anyone here has had any dealings with them, or are signed up with them. Your comments would be appreciated. Thanks.- Pacman

Client funded training
I'm class myself outside IR35, but my client has requested that I do a training course for a particular appliance they want me to manage. They're paying for it, but would that place me inside IR35? Thoughts?- Pacman
