    Most tax efficient way of paying a director / basic pay

    Hello, I own 50% of a company and another shareholder owns 50%. We both draw a basic wage + dividends.

    Company refusing to issue VAT reciept

    When silence isn't golden...

    Emails get deleted, in fact it surprises me how many people only have one inbox. I have a folder on my email account that I put all 'actioned' emails in to. Therefore, anything in my inbox is still outstanding and requires attention (at some point). I have all my staff do the same.

    Are landlords screwing us all over Building Insurance?

    Hello, My rent is £7,000 /year on 3 yr lease and the annual 'Building Insurance' is £0.35 per Sqft. That's £945 per year to cover a building that is worth £84,000 based on 12 years rent. The landlord pays this to the insurance company and we reimburse them. Does this sound right? I know it's...
