    Giving company car to employee

    Parking Charge DCBL for ex-employee

    Interestingly the small print on the back states "The driver of the vehicle is responsible for payment...."; I wonder if the debt company will just accept that in writing and reissue their demand.

    Parking Charge DCBL for ex-employee

    Hi all, Just received a parking charge "notice of debt recovery" for an infraction in June 2017 for someone who actually left the company just after this. They were driving a company car owned/registered to the company. What's the best way to play this assuming they will go through with a...

    Stepped down as director - self assessment

    Thanks - I do need to pay CGT (with relief) on the share sale so I'll need to do a form this year for sure then I'll contact them. I wonder if they reply to messages now, no luck in the past.

    Stepped down as director - self assessment

A few months ago the company I was a director and shareholder of was bought, and I resigned as director and sold my shares, so now I'm a standard employee.

    Just resigned....HMRC

    I have just resigned as a director but continue as an employee of the same Ltd. company. Companies House have been informed and it is showing on there OK. Do I need to separately inform HMRC / Tax Office about my change of status?

    Buying shares back into a company

    I'm new here, but certainly not new to forums in general, so thanks for your warm welcome. What are forums for, if not free guidance? Perhaps I will end up in the arms of a professional solicitor and accountant. But that could be the answer to every single question asked on this forum, so...

    Legality of a toilet without ventilation

    Hello, Well there's nothing that resembles a fan outlet, and it's totally silent so no active fan anywhere. Plus it does get very unpleasant in the aroma area, I'll put it like that.

    Legality of a toilet without ventilation

    Does anyone who knows the law/building regulations around toilets and ventilation care to comment on this? We share an office with several companies, and it's a managed building. Probably 10 offices and a couple of hundred people. One of the gents toilets is on the interior so no windows, and...
