Hi all,
My wife and I are in business together as a partnership.
I keep getting info sent to me by HMRC about 'Making Tax Digital' but so far it doesn't seem to be for partnerships. Am I misunderstanding the situation or have they just not bother to implement it for partnerships yet. I tried...
Hi Zepherone,
To be honest, most of the times I have used a VA it was for a stand alone project that was easy to define. It didn't need to interact with any existing systems. For example one of them was Togo to the website of an upcoming event and get a list or the registered exhibitors and...
As a buyer, I know that these sorts of things annoy me and I ignore them.
If I were still selling on a website, I would test the things and see how they worked for me. The claims you see from the makers of them seem too good to be true, but I know that some of them work well.
If I were...
Hi,
I don't really understand how council tax works, as I have never paid any. I am a bit confused by this argument as I thought that corporations did not have to pay council tax and that it was a bill on the occupant or person who lives there. So to me, it seems that in this case it would be...
OK, that first part might be wishful thinking on my part :-)
Allowing the police to search your home without a warrant is asking for trouble. If they suspect you of something, either legitimately or due to mistaken identity, and want to search without a warrant, then they either don't have...
So you're saying that you don't mind what has to happen if it helps to cut down on fraudulent directors?
I don't have anything to hide, but I try to minimise my exposure to surveillance and other forms of tracking etc.
I know that there is probably very little happening with any of this data...
I don't think the Government was suggesting the entries in the customs forms, probably a simple software script that helped you to fill in the customs form. As far as I understand it the Government is only going to get the details of people who sell a certain amount and then contact them to...
Hi,
I sell on eBay and it is growing for us, we are a 'sell everything' type of seller, so this week we have sold hair dyes, board games, books, bedding, collectables etc. My knowledge about selling tech is limited so no real info on that.
As with any selling platform, there is a pretty steep...
Hi,
Being from Northern Ireland I can tell you that it can be a pain to get stuff sent to us. I have a couple of suppliers that just stopped selling to NI because of the problems.
So there are two things to think about EORI number which you need to give to your supplier to allow them to send...
Hi, I have used freelancers in the past, a fair few times. A few times it was for ongoing support for jobs that I needed doing regularly, but most times it was for basic tasks.
For example, I worked on a marketing task, I got the VA to find a load of companies that fit a specific criteria, I...
Hi Rotor,
It's impossible to say without knowing more of your situation.
You might be best paying down your mortgage, or putting it into a pension or investments etc.
If you are going to go for a business that you can run part time, agin, hard to say what you should do without knowing more...
Hi all,
There are a few parts to this question;
First, I made a sale to another company. I am based in Northern Ireland, and they are in the South of Ireland. The transaction went through and we sent the products to them; they were then to send them to their client. I sent the products to...
Hi,
I would not want to assume that at all. In my experience, couriers will only pay out the minimum they have to, and they will make it as hard as possible to make the claim. I am in the process of putting in several claims. They want me to provide them with invoices to show the value of...
Hi, I'd not be able to give any specific advice as to couriers as I only really use Royal Mail, Yodel, and Evri.
I would have recommended Royal Mail except for the parcel values, 1 to 3 k is a lot, so you will need to make sure you have proper insurance in place. Most couriers will mess you...
