Unannounced HMRC visit
On Friday morning whilst on a work call (I work mostly from home as an IT consultant through my ltd company), a gentleman claiming to be from HMRC knocked on my door asking for me by name. My partner answered and took a message, he left his name and number. I tried calling the number a few...- ryan11

Providing Freelance / One-off Services via website - Contract Requirements
There are some elements of it I do understand quite well but yes, some gaps in knowledge also - which is why I thought I'd try the forum. I'm trying to pre-empt the type of questions I might get from a customer. If I sell a service on my website for example: "Microsoft Power BI Audit"...- ryan11

Gains made using Directors Loan
What makes it worse is that I'm a CIMA qualified accountant too! I admit my question makes me sound a lot more 'dim' than I actually am, however I probably didn't word it as well as I should have. Your choice of words is slightly on the condescending side but I guess I'm fine with that -...- ryan11

It depends on the crypto. If it's one of these "meme coins" or "sh*t coins" as they are often referred to, then yes I can be difficult to get money back out as many are "rug pulls" or have very poor liquidity, and usually always end in disaster. Wouldn't be touching them!- ryan11

Gains made using Directors Loan

Gains made using Directors Loan
Morning all *I'll be sending this question to my accountant later but I'm interested to hear your views and/or experience in this Let's say I take a directors loan of 15k and then invest that in crypto. If that crypto gains 5k in value and is realised/sold, what position would that leave me...- ryan11
