PC Trade/Wholesale prices for bying components
Lots of negativity! What surprised me is amazon has some great prices, but their packaging is really bad. I now have a scan biz account, ordered a case+motherboard (other bits were cheaper on AMZ). About £20 cheaper then private account, but I have free P+P on private account, so savings... -

PC Trade/Wholesale prices for bying components
Hi, the office PC needs replacing which I will be building. Has anyone any experience in obtaining trade prices with meaningful discount from say Amzon? I have a Ingram Micro account, and can't find anything cheaper then on Amzon etc. -

Surplus cash
This got me thinking and I found this How to Invest your Company Profits - Foxy Monkey I don't want to get into direct property myself. I was hoping moving money into shares could reduce my companies capital tax bill. Accountant says it just looks like another bank account though (which makes...- whats

Transferwise Borderless Account
Thanks for this OP. Worldspan are working on something similar. This sets the benchmark for fees. WS are more business orientated - they offer forward contracts which was something I wanted to look at. Today I receive EUR into CurrencyFair. Convert and fund GBP account. But I can't do...- whats

Trivial Benefits
Thanks OP for not using the search facility :) When I looked into this in the past I ruled this out as I thought there was tax implications. Not going to make you rich, but every little helps. Maybe I'll get £50 of supermarket vouchers for my poor director.- whats

Euro Bank Account (Cater Allen absolutely shocking)
I have a Cater EUR/UK accounts as well. For last 6 months I've had my customer pay directly into Currencyfair EUR account. The good thing is the reference number that's used to work out the onward account is static. I always fill in the web form listing the expected payment, which is a chore...- whats

Business banking recommendation with good mobile banking and USD account
Talking about HSBC, I met one of their business advisor this week. Foreign account requires a HSBC business account (£5.50 month). Inbound cost is £5, Inbound SEPA is £1. He told me cost of inbound SEPA was 5+1, which didn’t sound right as it would make SEPA more expensive than other...- whats

First contract - using pension to remove TAX/NI exposure
Little update. I don't think it's that well documented (took me a while to find) as a sole trader pension contributions isn't an expense (it would be if I employed someone) so I would be stuffed with NIC class 4 for personal contributions. Now I'm down the LtdCo route. Quite happy about it...- whats

First contract - using pension to remove TAX/NI exposure
Hi, My main PAYE job brings in £85k. I have a second job for a client in Europe which should bring in €45K (~£35k). I need to invoice in Euro. They are ok if I invoice as a sole trader. This is a permeant arrangement and should increase to €60k in 2018. I’m not looking to do any additional...- whats
