    Selling Office Equipment

    I have a high speed scanner. Canon DR5010 60 pages double sided a minute. I advertised it on E Bay and Facebook market place with no interest. Anyone any idea of a business selling site for stuff like this?

    Disciplinary hearing

    If you have been there less than two years then your chances of bringing an employment tribunal claim are very very weak. i wouldn't bother. On the basis that they haven't sacked you I agree with previous comments, just apologise and say it wont happen again. If the place was burning down and...

    Is a Camera a Business Expense?

    Most people haven't really answered the question i know nothing about cameras but if it is 100% exclusively for business then of course it's a business expense.

    Capital Allowances

    One of my clients unconditionally committed to some asset purchases before the end of his financial year but because of late delivery was not able to physically pay for them until after the four month HMRC deadline for claiming AIA in last year. Anybody got any ideas of how he may be able to...

    Directors Loan

    A friend of mine put £5,500 into a business of which he is 100% shareholder, but there is another director who was doing the work. It is a building company. It hasn't worked but the other director has run up £4,000 director's loan and just sold the company van for cash as it is the only asset...

    Reprint Furlough

    Anyone on here know how to reprint a furlough claim. It doesn't look like that facility is available on the government gateway.

    Dismissal and National Insurance

    I'm not complaining. She worked there 20 years. The 12 weeks notice is the law and I am simply asking a question which is what this forum is for - or so I thought. There is no PILON clause in the contract.

    Dismissal and National Insurance

    My wife was fired by her employer for nine months sickness absence in November. Her 66th birthday was December but she was paid all the notice pay (12 weeks) on 30 November so paid national insurance on the lot. If the employer had paid it in December, or if she had been able to work her notice...

    Furlough and TUPE

    I am in the process of taking on two employees under a TUPE transfer. They were on furlough with the other company. When I add them to my payroll I want to continue the furlough. However they were obviously not on my payroll, nor on the RTI submission for September. What's the view?

    Cant afford IP

    I don't know who would buy it that is in the same market place. I can't disagree that they have previously made some really crap business decisions but the director was originally surrounded by a number of high net worth individuals who put money in and encouraged him to raise more money and...

    Holidays and Furlough

    Oh yes forget them. So the option is pay on holiday at 100% in December and cannot claim furlough money - or carry it forward two years?

    Cant afford IP

    Thanks for the advice. He doesn't have the cash to pay for any court proceedings and the £20K stock really isn't worth that as it's all in bits, and he is the only one that really knows how it all goes together. I don't think anybody would want to buy any of the stock or name as without the...

    Cant afford IP

    Thanks for the replies guys. He knows his director's responsibilities but has been told he needs 75% shareholder agreement for a CVL, which he won't get and he hasn't got the money to pay an IP. He's been quoted £6K + VAT + disbursements. The shareholders won't vote in favour as it's like...

    Cant afford IP

    HI I have a client who has suffered through the virus. He was in a poor position to start but is now clearly insolvent and cannot afford his bills. His sales have fallen 80%. He has 20 share holders and £400K unsecured loan notes. Debts to HMRC of £40K. He cannot afford an IP to do a CVL as...
