    Germany EPR Compliance (packaging)

    Do we know what other EU countries also have something similar? I suspect I'm going to have to stop shipping to the EU, the administrative burden is getting too high, what with compliant packages being returned by customs all too frequently as well. Saying that, I found one for Eur6.95 for the...

    Problems shipping to the US

    So since RM have implemented massive price hikes for US mail (due to US costs on international mail) I'm sending everything by eTail, they've never let me down and though they inject straight into USPS it's via UPS MI and fully tracked, they had no lost parcels in the whole of 2019. And it's...

    Problems shipping to the US

    Exactly. I think I'll resend it eTail and hope I don't need the insurance! I'm losing trust with RM (though it looks like the problem is with USPS). The joys of business...

    Problems shipping to the US

    Thanks. No, the customers are very much alive and communicating on email and wanting their orders. Just wondering if anyone else has had issues with Royal Mail.

    Problems shipping to the US

    Has anyone else had any recent problems shipping to the USA? Normally it's fine, but we've had two items returned to sender in the last month for no obvious reason. We've been using Royal Mail as we don't have the volume to use anyone else (we use eTail for smaller value parcels) and it's...

    Removing a director guilty of gross misconduct

    Thanks, that's really helpful :) While he complied, it wasnot a duomatic decision as he was misled, and thus could not fully consent to what happened.

    Removing a director guilty of gross misconduct

    I'm a concerned friend. Firing the director may remove him from employment but may not remove him automatically from the office of director. There is no director’s service agreement and the shareholders need to have a majority vote to remove him from office, and nothing has been filed at...

    Removing a director guilty of gross misconduct

    Amen! I cannot shout this enough! And thanks, I'm well aware they just need to make the best of it now, I'm just stuck on this point of law regarding the employment and the casting vote - this is me wanting to understand the technicalities of it.

    Removing a director guilty of gross misconduct

    Thanks, absolutely. However, he is a Director still at Companies House. I've never seen this HR thing leveraged to removed a director from day to day operations, but he still remains a Director. It's this particular point that's really baking my noodle!

    Removing a director guilty of gross misconduct

    I've got an interesting one here! Ltd Company, 50/50 2 directors and shareholders, amended articles of association, no shareholders agreement. Pertinent clauses from the articles included below. Situation: 2 directors, both with serious grievances against the other. Director 1 lets it...

    Cheque to Companies House

    Pretty sure they will only accept a GBP cheque.

    Employee asking for a wage rise!

    Perhaps they aren't the most dilligent employee because they don't feel valued. I can only echo what others have said, no payrise in 7 years is a big paycut in real terms.

    Xero, KashFlow and receipt-bank

    Yes, Xero acquired Hubdoc. I love Xero. I wouldn't touch KashFlow with a bargepole, I can't stand it.

    Dormant company accounts with previous trading period

    You can't file a DCA if the company has previously traded. You will have to file micro accounts. If nothing has changed then yes you can use the same figures as last year.

    Accrued expenses question......

    1. It doesn't matter if you do months or days, just keep it consistent year on year. 2. All the main transactions such as income and expenses would normally be done to the day, and the banks would be reconciled to the day of the year end. With regards things like prepayments (Q1) then just be...
