    Reverse charge for your Google adwords

    In you day to day accounts just record it as a straight £100 cost, no VAT element. (But note it as an EC services reverse charge purchase, if your accounts software has such a feature.)

    Indexation Allowance calculation for CGT

    Let's say a UK Limited company has some spare cash and invests it in holdings of a single asset (e.g. a unit trust) over a period of a number of years. Later, it sells part of the holding making a chargeable gain. How to identify which shares were sold so as to calculate the gain and the...

    Domain Name

    Probably is an asset to be depreciated but I don't think the registration period comes into it. There are three parties involved. You buy the domain for $2000 from the private seller but you register it separately with Nominet (or whichever registrar) for a small fee (about £10 per year)...

    Accountancy fees for an asset purchase

    Is A purchasing the assets from B at a fair market price? (i.e. 'arms length' valuation)? Since £15000 is a relatively small asset purchase I wouldn't sweat it too much or worry about HMRC taking much interest. Get company B to make up an invoice/deed of sale and present it to company A...

    Limited Company Structure Help!

    No tax is chargeable on receipt of "straightforward" dividends received by a "small company" (less than 50 employees) from another UK resident company. There are exceptions and complications ... This was simple until 2009 until changes were made and made it all really complicated...
