I have a client who owns two companies - this is going to be more a QB question on how to do something really. He needs a regular transaction cross-charged from Co 1 to Co 2. I have created a supplier account for Co 1 in Co 2 which is fine. However I was going to create a customer account in Co 1 but the charge is a...

I do the bookkeeping for a charity, and have just found out that the rent on their office is paid by a benefactor. The landlord invoices the benefactor directly, so the money doesn't go through the charity's accounts at all. My question is, should this be classed as a donation to the charity? Thanks in a...

I have assumed that Co House tells HMRC that a new Ltd company has been registered......so assumed that the company is set up for Corp Tax. Then it mentions three months to let HMRC know after trading has commenced! So what needs to be done and what are penalties for not having done this???

I'm embarrassed to ask this, since I have a feeling the answer is obvious - blame the heat for clouding my brain. I'm doing the abbreviated company accounts for our very small limited company. As I have lamented elsewhere on the forum, this year the profits were low and after the company has paid the har...

Hi, The company I work for has no employees on PAYE only the Director who has not taken a salary this year. If they wanted to take a dividend off £8000.00, (profit made in the year was £9500.00) would this be allowed. What Im really asking is how much retained profit a company has to carry forwar...

Hi I just wanted to check if it is imperative for self emplyed driver to have a monthly or even yearly bank reconciliation. Surely all he would need is a yearly p&l with an asset listing to use for tax stuff, is there really a need for much more detail for tax purposes. Obviously a record of mileage an...

Those twits at Paypal / eBay (I gather the former belongs to the latter now) have ended up accidentally paying us £923.

Sure someone will know te answer to this one. It seems that there are laws protecting domestic tennants from noisy neighbours but what about in a work environment? If one's new arty designer neighbours have thudding music blaring out what legal rights do we have to stop them? The music is not so loud to...
