    Yet another dormant accounts thread

    I've never filed micro-entity accounts. I've paid an accountant to file proper accounts each year.

    Yet another dormant accounts thread

    My company stopped trading at end of December last year. I notified HMRC that the company has been dormant since then. The company had traded for a few months of its financial year.

    Double taxation treaty, reclaiming corp tax and closing my Ltd

    Hi All, just bumping this thread. Can any accountants/lawyers feed back on the ramifications of me closing the Ltd and the possible detriment to my chances of claiming back the double corporation tax paid? Would leaving the company "dormant" be a viable option, since this lets me reinstate it...

    Double taxation treaty, reclaiming corp tax and closing my Ltd

    Sorry, I didn't mean to snound snippy. You're right, I didn't make it clear that the ltd has no real presence in the UK. Even though most of my customers, all my suppliers are there.

    Double taxation treaty, reclaiming corp tax and closing my Ltd

    Sorry to say, my friend, but your understanding is wrong on this. I have a good Steurberater here. If my UK Ltd had shareholders and/or employees living in the UK and/or a PE (Permanent Establishment) place of business in the UK then I might have been able to make a case for why the company...

    Can a dividend be paid to one shareholder but not others?

    Hi Frank, thanks for your feedback!! I suspected it would have something to do with classes like you've said. Should this be a simple thing for an accountant to provide? Or are there templates online that I can adapt? Or?

    Amazon treatment of UK VAT when a UK company sells to an EU country

    If a customer in Germany buys an item for £500 from Amazon UK (Amazon is the seller), does the purchase have UK VAT deducted? Ie. Will the customer be charged only £416.67? Obviously when the goods arrive in Germany, they are subject to 19% MwSt (German VAT) + customs charges. I'm only...
