    Looking for some Trademark advice

    Hi All, I want to register a text-only brand name (lets say: ABC). When I search the registry, I find out that ABC is registered under class 35 (which is the type of trademark class i'm interested in), but the trademark contains ABC+foreign alphabet characters, so its registered as a...

    Do I HAVE TO pay NI as the company director?

    Hello everyone. Can you please tell me your thoughts about this question; Suppose that I do not want to pay any type of NI (whether its contributions/deductions, or class 1,2,3,4), as the sole director of a company (no employees). I do not care about paying higher income tax, but I do not wish...

    Do you think I need to do a self-assessment ?

    Even if there is absolutely no income, would you say that a director may still be asked to complete a SA just because he/she is a director ? I mean no income from anywhere (no income from company or any type of work, or nothing to tax like inheritance etc... someone who lives without earning...

    Do you think I need to do a self-assessment ?

    Hello everyone. I have two scenarios of which I'm curious about your answers. 1) Would you advice me to complete self assessment, if I had a company, but regardless of the company profits, I do not receive any dividends or salary ? So basically, just keeping the money in the business account...

    Registering a trademark similar to an existing one

    @fisicx @Pi Daybooks If there is no likelihood of confusion with other brand owners, do you think the IPO may still reject my application due to my own brand that I registered before? I thought; as long as brand owner is same, its possible to register similar looking brands.

    Registering a trademark similar to an existing one

    @WaveJumper @Pi Daybooks @Gyumri I wont object to my own application but I am just considering to register a new trademark which looks very similar to the one I registered before.

    Hi All Can I go ahead with applying to register a trademark, which is similar to the other one I registered previously ?

    What can be an alternative way to deposit registered capital ?

    @Newchodge @fisicx Am I understanding you correctly; If I say that the company doesnt owe me any money, then, thats it. I guess the hmrc for example, wouldnt question about whether the company actually paid its loan to me, unless I am concerned about it (take legal action etc).

    @japancool Isnt it normal trying to find a way which may lead to a better image for your company on a website which is available to the public ? Banks etc all check online to find out your activities, and try to use it as an excuse to prove their arguments.
