    Partnership Return - Are We A Trade Or Profession?

    Hi guys, Just working through our first partnership return at the moment and in Q3 it asks 'Did the partnership business include a trade or profession at any time between 6 April 2011 and 5 April 2012?'. We ran a small student events company so not sure if we fall into that bracket or if it's...

    LLP Mess: Dissolve and avoid filing accounts?

    Hi David, Thanks for this. The next issue I seem to have come up against in this saga is that on the Partnership tax return there is a section for each partner to complete detailing their share of profit (or loss). The section for each individual requires, their name, NI number and UTR. My...

    LLP Mess: Dissolve and avoid filing accounts?

    Thanks for the reply. To confirm this will negate the need to file any annual accounts whatsoever? The accounts their chasing letter was referring to was for the first year the LLP was operating. So it's possible to set up an LLP for one year effectively and shut it down without ever having to...

    LLP Mess: Dissolve and avoid filing accounts?

    Hi all, I've gotten myself in a pickle by setting up an LLP in summer 2010 with a friend. We essentially ran a small events company that hosted two events, we put about £500 behind it each and lost almost everything. The business was active for around 6 months and then we jacked it in. A few...

    Retail stuff

    Not my area of expertise at all but for one thing you'd need to register as either self-employed or a business. Not sure what the price on these guitars are but let's say they are £100 each. If you're selling 10 that's £1000 worth of revenue which is a bit more than simply flogging a couple of...

    Job Opportunities for 27yr old.

    Infact if you're really desperate and looking for someone else to just tell you a business idea that isn't going to cost you anything then I'll give you one now. It will cost you about £2 and the price of a phone call to HMRC to register as self-employed. Can you iron clothes and do you own an...

    Job Opportunities for 27yr old.

    You seem very defeatist. I hope you don't take offence but a great deal of people on here are offering you suggestions and advice and your response each time seems to be to knock it back in a defeatist fashion. You seem more interested in complaining about your situation than doing anything to...
