    An "extract of a company's registration" (?)

    Hi, I'm considering having a branch office in France, for my limited co. registered here with Companies House. One of the requirements for French admin purposes is an "extract of the company's registration" dated no more than 3 months ago. This is basically them asking for the equivalent of a...

    Is VAT registration needed for doing business with Spain?

    The second part of what you say is true, and is the cause of the misconception over the first part. The point is, those transactions need (as I said a few days ago) to be demonstrably business, not consumer, transactions for VAT not to be payable. So as you said, b2b. Because the VAT threshold...

    Is VAT registration needed for doing business with Spain?

    FWIW, anecdotally from what I have heard from other translators doing business with companies in Spain, it does seem to be a popular misconception in Spain that you do need a (UK) VAT number in order to be categorised as a business transaction not a consumer transaction. Can be a bit of a pain...

    Adopting Companies House template as new Articles

    Great stuff. Thanks for responding. I couldn't think of a good reason for not adopting the model articles (especially since they seem more suited to my circs), but just wondered whether it might be one of those things one is quite entitled to do, but might be well advised to avoid for some reason.

    Adopting Companies House template as new Articles

    Thanks (I had found something similar in another post on here about changing the articles, but absolutely no harm having more than one template to work from for the resolution). No reason not to switch from a more "sophisticated" (in the drafter's view, at least, I imagine) set of articles to a...

    Adopting Companies House template as new Articles

    Greetings, My company was formed in 2013 with assistance from a now-retired accountant. I am now investigating the possibilities of establishing a presence in the EU, which requires my articles to be translated. So I have now looked at them properly for the first time! They are obviously based...

    Emails being ignored, should I go in person?

    It is of course entirely possible that the people you are contacting are not interested in the kind of arrangement you are proposing. I really wouldn't know. I do know about language and translation, however. And I'm sure most of us react negatively to any emails we receive where the standard of...

    Sole Trade -v- Limited Company

    So as things stand, I can set up the the co. to employ me as a director on 6k, the wife ditto, issue us both 50 shares each (say) for dividends, and bingo. Is it really that simple? (If this is verging into tax advice I should be paying for, just say so :))

    Sole Trade -v- Limited Company

    Yes, I had noticed this rather less quantifiable aspect being stressed increasingly as the thread developed :). In terms of ongoing financial liabilities, the business itself has none (given, naturally, that me and the business are as one at this point, so I guess it would be more accurate to...

    Sole Trade -v- Limited Company

    I've ploughed through these 24 pages and I have a question/issue that I don't think has been raised. The tax issue always seems to start from the premise of "on profit of £x you can save up to £y" - all well and good, but is the profit figure itself always going to be the same in a given...
