    Thanks and I do appreciate that! I'll tread carefully, though I expect many trademark bullies don't!

    It is complicated isn't it :) But I did post in case folks have had some experience in this field, or in case any passing lawyers have worked with trademarks who might inhabit this forum :p Certainly no definitive answer can be found here, but I'm curious to hear any broad opinions /...

    US Company citing Trademark Infringement?

    Thanks for the replies guys. ToDonnel. We generated publicity for our film from 2014, to a high point circa earlier this year. About 3 months before this US company registered their mark. Our product is actually sold from the UK on our website. Of course, if US customers were to order from us...

    US Company citing Trademark Infringement?

    Hi there, I would appreciate your help with this guys. I recently received an email (not a lawyers letter) from a US Company, claiming that we would infringe their US trademark if we sold our product to US customers. I've made a film, with an associated mixture of merchandise (t-shirts) with...

    IBAN Banking Nightmare

    Hey guys, So I just wanted some advice. Quite suddenly our Barclays Bank decided to change the checksum prefix to our IBAN number, (along with a changed swiftcode.) Meanwhile, a customer of ours made a large payment on Thursday, which of course hasn't shown up in our account now. All that...

    Rateable Value / Business Rates Situation...

    Hi guys, So I recently acquired a small church hall (no steeple) which formerly belonged to an actual Church organisation. Now I intend to convert it into an arts center, for performance, photography - all sorts of creative activities with some modest office usage. Of course I'm concerned...

    Receipt missing VAT number? How to fix?

    So I have the joy of a VAT inspection coming up (ie. compliance.) I'm happy with my record of receipts, or at least I was until I discovered a number of restaurant receipts (comprising of legitimate business expenses) minus a VAT number printed on them. This is despite the restaurant being VAT...

    VAT Return Question (That I think many would love to know!)

    Gosh I didn't mean all sales (perhaps wrong choice of word?) We voluntarily registered for VAT so we could claim on past purchases. Then we added VAT onto products which we sell (as you would do) to customers and businesses. The 'sales' which is perhaps the wrong terminology here that I...

    VAT Return Question (That I think many would love to know!)

    Thanks for answering Scalloway and funny you should say that Scalloway (just received a phone call about compliance after first return.) We never received a letter and there asking to see a spreadsheet of purchases (with an intention to double check some invoices / receipts.) I claimed a total...

    VAT Return Question (That I think many would love to know!)

    Hey guys, I think a few folk get puzzled (especially me) when making past claims for goods/services on the first VAT return. I think an answer to this question might help a few out. It relates to boxes 6 and 7 on the return. 6 Total value of sales and all other outputs excluding any VAT...

    Is this VAT receipt valid?

    I see your point *hugs* thanks for the help - it seems obvious now when you mention the receipts, for some reason I thought it might be different when I read my invoice from Amazon. Thanks that's a bit of a relief actually as it was a large purchase (1k)

    Is this VAT receipt valid?

    Wow that surprises me. I mean like i say mines is made out to me (personal name) followed by company address without a company name. It's a genuine company purchase but in terms of verifiable, the evidence i have would be the bank entry from the companies account paying for it? Do you think the...

    Is this VAT receipt valid?

    Hi guys, In a pickle with this one. I have a detailed VAT receipt from Amazon for a purchase that I made with my company. It was my company that purchased it and it was dispatched to my companies registered address but... My company name isn't on the Invoice just my name and the address of the...

    Backdated VAT Question! Help appreciated

    Ugh... so no date of supply here? :) Meaning the below wouldn't count then? I had taken it to mean that only when I've made goods and sent them to customers would I then report and pay VAT to HMRC. Sorry to ask for clarification but it's just because I received funds (during the period of my...
