I am a book keeper (record keeper) for my husband and he has taken on a young helper part time paying him £100 a week. I looked on HMRC back in July and it said that due to the low level of his earnings, you do not have to register as an employer. I called HMRC and was told that as well. Apparently we just need t...

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?

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).

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.
