    Amazon Merchant help please. Sales Tax Report - has it disappeared?

    Hi, I really hope someone can help here. I'm a bookkeeper, and I have a client who sells on Amazon. Until recently my client downloaded a "Tax report" from Amazon for me each month, which listed every transaction, including columns which showed the VAT value for the transaction, and the...

    Is this genuine? Data Protection concern.

    I do think it's pretty poor that calls to the Child Support Agency employer helpline as listed on www.gov.uk don't get answered. I rang 3 times between 9:20 and 10:00 a.m. and just got an automated answer that they were unable to take calls at present, office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m...

    Is this genuine? Data Protection concern.

    Well, he's rung again, and I've told him our data protection policy doesn't allow me to give the information over the phone, but we will happily reply to an official request in writing. He sighed deeply, said "oh, ok then" and put the phone down

    Is this genuine? Data Protection concern.

    Thanks that is my view. Actually the language in that email doesn't look very official, to me it seems very unprofessional.

    I'm supposed to give it verbally over the phone apparently

    Is this genuine? Data Protection concern.

    I've just taken a phone call purporting to be from the Child Maintenance Service, requesting address details for one of our employees. I asked them to make the request in writing (as the call could have been from anyone) to be told that they can't do that. When I said I wouldn't give the info...

    Thanks very much, I have filed on-line. i take it that i simply file the same thing for the following year - assuming I haven't re-started trading before then? (no plans at the moment)

    Company gone dormant, confused about Companies House accounts

    I have been reading round the web, but honestly can't get my head round this. My company has not traded since January 2015. Year-end accounts were submitted as required for the year-ended May 2015, the balance sheet was as follows:.[/URL][/IMG] Current Assets Debtors...

    What is the liability of an employee to HMRC ?

    Ah, in the case in question, evading may in fact be the appropriate word. As I understand it, it is a simple case of failing to declare fairly standard benefits, to the accountants as well as HMRC. I don't believe the employee specifically "wants" to blow the whistle, but wouldn't want to...

    What is the liability of an employee to HMRC ?

    If an employee is aware of directors deliberately avoiding personal tax on benefits, what liability does that employee have? Would HMRC have grounds to take action against the employee ? Is there any legal obligation to blow the whistle?

    Changing the date on an invoice - problem?

    What is the legal status of the date on an invoice? For reasons that are not important here, we were late invoicing a customer for some goods. When we sent out the invoices last week, we dated them for last Sept. when they should have been sent. Customer says his year end is October, so he...

    Recycling used laser cartridges

    We have just moved offices, and have a box of about 16 used toner cartridges. The new office is small so we have no storage space, and want rid. I've looked online, everyone seems to want a minimum of 20 to collect them :( Does anyone here recycle them, or know a company who will take 16...

    Accountant won't release info to a new accountant

    No, it isn't that the directors don't agree - no one disagreed with the decision, director no.3 just hadn't expressed his opinion directly to the accountant. I am simply perplexed that the accountants won't accept an instruction from the MD, in fact they didn't accept the instruction even...

    Accountant won't release info to a new accountant

    Nobody knows... Directors 1 & 2 didn't think he had any specific objections. It might be as simple as CBA syndrome, he has other irons in other fires
