New partner services
Your clients look for their professional advisers to be almost a ‘one stop shop’, advising on many aspects of a business start-up or growth beyond that of accountancy and taxation advice. Many clients think it is easier to take a patch work approach to their business start-up, go to Companies House directly not knowing of any additional compliance to the Companies Act that must be undertaken, then once that is done start to find a bank, look for insurance, and possibly some additional finance sources. All this is time consuming for the client. Continue reading “Financial Partnership Programme”

Christmas and Festive Season Opening Times
That time of year again, when myself and Irma actually get a week off! Of course our online company formations and customer AML verification searches do not go off, they run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The various Companies House’s though will shut on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day, and Edinburgh also closes on the 2nd of January. They will also close early on both Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. Of course there will be no company filings processed during these times.
At BTC our last of despatch of physical documents to get there before will be on Friday 19th of December. Of course online PDF’s generated by the systems will be delivered automatically by email as normal.
During Christmas week there will not be telephone support on the 22nd, 23rd and Christmas Eve. We will have some limited email support.
The following week, 29th 30th and 31st we will have email support and some telephone support, this will also apply to the 2nd of January, since Scotland is on holiday still.
Full service will be back to normal on Monday January 5th 2015.
Season’s greetings to you all.
Steve and Irma O’Neill
HMRC have published a new help sheet for advance clearance applications in relation to the purchase of own shares by unquoted trading companies.
The help sheet, which is meant for use in straightforward situations, explains the conditions that must be met before a payment by a company to purchase its own shares can be treated as an exempt distribution. It also provides details of how a company can make a clearance application in connection with the purchase of own shares legislation.
The help sheet also contains two excellent clearance application checklists, one for purchase benefitting a company’s trade and one for purchase in connection with IHT
The help sheet is available from HMRC.
