    Getting T&Cs checked?

    Hi, I run a property lettings business. We use T&Cs which have been put together over the years. Having now read the forum I am thinking that perhaps it would be wise to get these checked over and okayed by a solicitor - is this a complete belts and braces approach that I need to do? What...

    Employee lost licence but needs car to do job?!

    Thanks for that. I have just spoken to the office based member of staff and they're going to swap roles for a month. I have decided to see it in a positive light and that they can both learn what the other does :)

    Am I being too simple regarding property investment?

    As a full time property developer/ investor and owner of a managing agency I would say property investment is a great way to make money. It's not rocket science - it's like buying any other investment - you hope/plan that it will pay it's way and when you sell it, it will be worth more. Key...

    Employee lost licence but needs car to do job?!

    yes - they now are! they could've saved me a lot of money, time and hassle! This is a classic reason why business owners should get on with what they do and allow the experts to do what they do!

    Late end of year return penalty

    Classic - the accountants have sorted and I have overpaid by over £600 and haven't even claimed SSP I was entitled to! GRR even more annoying to get fined when I have overpaid as well!!

    Late end of year return penalty

    Yes I know that now from this fine My issue is why I was not informed prior to this date? Nice they can fine me, shame they can't remind me. Just a little bit of help for a small business owner would go a long way from HMRC
