Hi , I wonder if anyone can help please. I know that HMRC have stated that use of home @ £26 per month can be claimed for employees for the year, however can it still be claimed for part of the year. For example, the employer paid employees £26 per month from May-July, but now it has stopped, but the majorit...

Throwing open for debate. If a sole director, furloughed because there is nothing happening in their line of work, spends a small amount of time trying to gain work, would this disqualify them from receiving furlough, and would costs incurred be allowed? The question has been asked of me and its lef...

Hi All When furlough started, employers with staff who work variable hours I worked out their average hours from the previous 12 weeks or 3 months (dependant on pay frequency). With the new scheme will I be taking a 12 week or 3 month average back from 31st October or use the original figures? -- Edite...

Over time, contributors have dwindled and we are now left with a handful of regular contributors. It can be more or less a week without any posts made and both I and Doug have experienced no res...

It sort of half news as they were talking about this earlier this year. Taxpayers with a turnover in excess of 10K will have to use MTD software for that tax year and later. VAT registered businesses under the compulsory threshold will become compulsory in FY 2022 This is the relevant ministerial...

Hi, We are a VAT registered business. One of our suppliers damaged one of our vehicles, we have had it repaired and I am raising a debit note to deduct it from the payment we are due to make.

I was forwarded an email from a client's supplier - just one line, not written clearly, and seemed to be chasing for payment of an old invoice; a copy was attached. It was from two years ago - so I had to go back to my backups from that period to check. It turned out the invoice had been received, and I'd paid i...

Hello everybody! From what I've learnt online so far, any UK Director of a Limited Company MUST file tax returns even if there is no salary paid for the job. BTW, as far as I know, UK law doesn't require that in a first place (i.e., that a certain compensation MUST be paid to a Director for his duties) - corr...
