    Looks out Taffy Crims!

    Found today on a Welsh News site: "Police in South Wales and Gwent today unveiled their most sophisticated crime-fighting tool to date - a helicopter which can land and take-off vertically, meaning it can alight almost anywhere such as on rough terrain and in remote areas and difficult...

    IR35 Contract Review in person ?

    B&C reviewed mine, sent out the revised copy to the client (direct contract) and followed up both myself and the client, talked us through the changes using both email and telephone calls. All agreed by the client, no problem. Therefore a face to face wasn't necessary. Danny Batey was the guy at...

    Notice Period

    I had my contract reviewed by B&C and they cleared a 7 day notice period. They even cleared it when the client asked for this be increased to 28 days for each party on the 3rd extension of the gig. By cleared I mean IR35 safe. I understood B&C were considered among the experts in this field.

    I want to add provision in my contract (direct with the client not via agency) for additional expenses over and above travel to and from the normal place of business. The job may include travel to US and AUS so wanted to add that the cost and class of flights and hotels accom will be in line...

    Parting company with accountant.

    I'm looking to switch and was advised that after Year End is best, followed by anytime up to approx two months before year end as the transfer could be more complicated.

    Do reinbursed expenses count as income?

    Would this only be appropriate if it generated a BIK?

    Taking on Associates

    I have been trading in the 'normal' Ltd Co way with my company supplying my services as Consultant to the end client. No Agency is involved in this relationship. I have been asked if I know of any PMs for a new contract role the client has. Has anyone any experience of bringing in 'associates'...

    Company car lease

    I believe (and plenty on this forum know better than me) this will be classed as a Benefit in Kind as it will be difficut for you to prove that it's used exclusively for your business. Its difficult for people to declare a crappy old van solely for business use, so an RR Sport will be impossible...

    Contractor Financials

    Has anyone used Contractor Financials AKA Parasol financials. They claim to sort things out very quickly but so far this has not been my experience for a mortgage. I was thinking about getting them to sort a pension for me but not sure now. Has anyone had any more positive experiences?

    Banking Cater Allen

    Cater Allan had good customer service, however, the lack of Online Banking was a bind, so I moved to HSBC on the offer of 18 months free banking plus internet banking. HSBC have been very responsive in sorting out queries. I even got a Business Manager, actually a spotty herbert just out of...

    Mobile Phone Through Limited Company

    All T-Mobile needed was a copy of the Cert of Incorporation and an instruction on headed paper. Did it in 24 hours and I now get better customer service, itemised paper billing and reduced cost intenrationa roaming. BTW, the last time I called the Cust Serv rep recommended if texting abroad i...

    S660 : How many people here are still allowing a partner to take dividends?

    Share is 50/50 between me and the wife. I have an accountant. Not happy with them, not just of the lack of advise/guidance I get. I've learnt more since being on this forum than from my dealings with them.

    She's not the CO sec, she just does the 'admin'. (and spends money)
