    performance managing creative people to dismissal

    Thanks Cyndy Although presumably only if the "job required of them" is possible to do. Others (including the management) in the department are only managing to keep up by staying late and working weekends.

    performance managing creative people to dismissal

    Thanks Dan, Cyndy. I'm not the employer, it concerns a friend who is being put through this process by his employer. I understand employment rights generally but where I am unsure is concerning subjective skills like design. It seems to boil down to new managers trying to performance manage...

    performance managing creative people to dismissal

    Thanks, Cyndy. What does that mean - is that a negotiation to agree how the designer would move on because they were no longer suitable?

    forming a charitable trust to buy property

    forming a charitable trust to buy property

    Yes it will, Bill. Incidentally, can you think of anything that a charity could legally do that wouldn't be covered by HMRC's definition in the SDLT relief section of their manual to which you linked?

    Thanks - SDLT is Stamp Duty Land Tax - or stamp duty as it used to be called.

    forming a charitable trust to buy property

    Thanks - it hadn't occurred to me to ask the accountant - I was thinking of it as more of a legal question. One of the questions being I suppose, does a charitable trust need to register with the Charities Commission? And, if it does need to register, can it obtain the SDLT relief whilst its...

    Your desire for a Shareholders Agreement may be academic as I understand that for SEIS (or indeed EIS) Investors cannot control the company receiving their capital, and must not hold more than a 30% stake in the company in which they invest.

    Are these taxcalc figures correcT?
