forgive me if this is a dumb question, my daughter had intended working as a sole trader from this month, and I've read up and got everything ready to do her accounts, but now she finds some of the clients who hire her, as a consultant, insist she either goes under an umbrella company or has a Limited comp...

I have a Ltd Co that I'm about to cease trading on as it hasn't been successful. (It isn't my bookkeeping one) I don't want to get rid of the company at present as I have possible future plans for it, but what is the status? I know it's not dormant and accounts would still need to be filed with Co House and HMR...

As mentioned in another thread, I am about to downscale. I currently operate through a Ltd Company but will be insolvent when the next rent is due on 1st February. I'm undecided whether to set up a new Ltd Co or just become self employed. I have a trading name which I use. Am I able to continue with the tr...

100% Shareholder wants to pay 100% director (neither holding the opposite positions) an occasional sum in regard to office holder duties. The director is not on payroll. I've been asked to record a 1k dividend through payroll (yes, I am aware that's an oxymoron!) So (and I haven't mentioned this...

I saw this update online and it's really a good news. The Companies House has allowed three months extension for filing accounts due to Covid-19 issues. This pandemic has greatly affected many business operations so filing of accounts may encounter difficulties. The extension is very helpful as i...

Morning All This may seem a stupid question but I've only just started dealing with companies so never had to file to Companies house. This is a charity so not having to produce a corporation tax return. Do I somehow need to apply to companies house as an agent to be able to file? I'm thinking in the same w...

One of my clients has a dormant company they want to strike off. If they use the DS01 form how long does it normally take for the company to be dissolved?

Good morning everyone Just a quickie When changing an ARD with Companies House do I need to inform HMRC as well or does that happen automatically?

I have already done this for one client, when it became obvious we were battling against the odds in December. The previous accounts, done in Xero by her forme...

Hello, Does anyone have experience of competing CH accounts in Euro. My (prospective) client is late filing and spends a lot of time in Europe so I assume this is a more convenient currency for him. I currently use Taxfiler and believe they don't have a Eur option. He also has fuel receipts from Euro wh...

Hi can anybody explain why the attached balance sheet won't balance on the CH filing? I'm guessing it's because the long term creditors are negative but I'm not sure what to do, do I take it away from the short term creditors amount? I didn't do the accounts they just need filing btw. Thanks Sam

Hello, I don't know if anybody could help, one of my clients was a small company with 2 50/50 shareholders/directors. Back in July last year, they made an employee (who is the brother of one of the directors) a director. They really want to give him shares and make the company a three way equal split. Be...
