    Penalties for late submission of SDLT forms

    Firstly, the issue arises on a family property investment business and is nothing to do with my own accountancy practice. Maybe I was a little unwise to post under my business log-in (and as a result I will seek to have the thread removed) but as David points out, the issue arose as a...

    Penalties for late submission of SDLT forms

    Due to incompetent solicitors SDLT forms for a transaction that happened over three years ago (and for which we paid the SDLT to the solicitors over three years ago) have only now been filed. We have received a penalty notice for around £3k interest and the fixed £200 penalty for late...

    Non Dilutable shares

    Is it possible to atttach rights to a class of share capital that will make it undilutable? e.g. you have ordinary "A" shares and ordinary "B" shares. The "A" shares carry the rights to 10% of the company and no further shares of that class can be issued without the 100% agreement of the...

    Central London offices required

    My firm (a small chartered accountancy practice) is looking for a small amount of office space in central London. We've already been stung twice by the sharp practice of letting agents. Does anyone know of a reputable letting agent who may be able to help me or (even better) have some spare...

    Business rates for small businesses

    Thanks. I suspected we'd probably need to actually physically split the office to get the rateable value split. This is certainly an option but I guess that would also need the landlords permission as well as a visit from the VOA. We already work closely with the business I have in mind and...

    Business rates for small businesses

    Hi there. I'm looking for a new office for my business and need a bit of advice on business rates. I've already done a bit of research on this and identified that for the size of office I'm looking for (around 250 to 35 square foot) I'm likely to qualify for the small business rate and for an...

    Remote access to desktop

    Thanks for all the replies! haven't had a chance to read through them all yet but certainly will do. For the minute I've signed up to a logmein account (haven't had a chance to look at drop box yet). The set-up and interface is great. Really easy to use which is ideal for someone with basic...

    Remote access to desktop

    Thanks Steve. I've just created an account with "LogMeIn". Will try it out tonight (can't right now as I'm working remotely as we speak and so not in front of my desktop!) Sorry if it's a stupid question but what would "Dropbox" do that "logmein" doesn't? Presumably if "logmein" gives you...

    Remote access to desktop

    Hi, I'm an accountant working primarily from home but occasionally from remote locations. Can anyone recomend a cost effective, secure and easy to use system that will allow me to access my desktop software and files from my laptop or a public desktop. Thanks, Matthew

    100% capital allowance on low emission car

    I second what Anna has said about the purchase of a low emission car for £12k reducing your taxable profits by £12k not your tax bill. However, the 100% WDA would be claimed on the basis of low emissions. Motor vehicles don't qualify for the Annual Investment Allowance. AIA could be used to...

    Shares in a Private limited company

    That article is dated Jan 2006 - before the Companies Act 2006 came into force. In section 756 of CA2006 it states "An offer will not be an offer to the public if it is not calculated to result in shares or debentures of the company becoming available to anyone other than those receiving...

    Social Media adversting

    I've just started advertising on LinkedIn and I'm getting clicks through to my website but haven't had any conversions yet. Trouble is it's not bloody cheap. I've set a budget of $40 a day (at around $3 a click any less than that and it wouldn't really be worth it) but at that amount I can...
