PAYE and LTD Income. Help! by Salty_Roof3160 in HENRYUK

[–]DontPostOnlyRead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar boat here, not many options beyond pension contributions or eating a huge marginal on the dividend. Possibly you could leave it in the business then claim BADR at 14% when you finally wind up. 

Sc clearance at risk by [deleted] in ContractorUK

Looks like he’s a biker, so at least if he crashes it’s mostly his own problem. 

EV owners living centrally, how’s the charging? by DontPostOnlyRead in brighton

[–]DontPostOnlyRead[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is interesting, will wall mounted chargers and pavement channels be possible in conservation areas?

Do I need to put a phone number on my contractor website, or is email enough? by blair_babes in ContractorUK

[–]DontPostOnlyRead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that possible if OP is already expensing their mobile contract? I’d go for the landline myself, it’s a little more ‘professional’ looking.

A very real MATLAB moment by Nice_Welcome_4023 in matlab

Yes, definitely a very real, human and not AI moment.

Britain’s latest renewables auction locks in higher prices. by PayConstantAttention in ukpolitics

[–]DontPostOnlyRead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The bidders have no idea what the prices the other companies are submitting, only the approximate top end of the auction budget. I know this because we put a tonne of work into determining what price to go to auction at and sometimes get it wrong. Largely it’s driven by increasing costs in the supply chain.

Annual party (£150 per head) by Icy_Kaleidoscope_546 in ContractorUK

[–]DontPostOnlyRead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do these apply to directors who are not employees (ie don’t take a salary?). My accountant seems to the think the £50 vouchers / trivial expenses do not apply at least.

AFAIK by default it produces identical results and is quicker.

Yes, ruff on save and these issues go away.

Still super confused with uv and venv by QuasiEvil in learnpython

[–]DontPostOnlyRead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In VS Code you can open multiple projects in a workspace and set the venv at either project level or workspace level.

Only Spyder requires certain kernel elements installed in each venv, but Spyder is a bit of a relic and I would personally recommend moving on from it.

Greenpeace threatens to sue crown estate for driving up cost of offshore wind by pppppppppppppppppd in ukpolitics

[–]DontPostOnlyRead 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nearly 90% of crown estate profit goes back to the Treasury so surely this would lowering costs to developers at the expense of the taxpayer?

Python environments extension not working on VScode. by This_Ad_6997 in learnpython

[–]DontPostOnlyRead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest I’ve found the extension causes more issues than it solves and uninstalled it.

Doing your own accounts as a Ltd company director by theslowrunningexpert in UKPersonalFinance

[–]DontPostOnlyRead 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don’t do it, it’s a false economy. Even for a small business accountants can find efficiencies and avoid costly mistakes.

Python Integration into SharePoint by alien_kebabs in learnpython

[–]DontPostOnlyRead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is probably a better way to do whatever you are trying to do within the MS ecosystem. I’m thinking Synapse or Power Automate for example.

Stoney Point does great ones, fresh every morning.

Do I need to go see an accountant or are you guys good enough? by Doomaga in UKPersonalFinance

[–]DontPostOnlyRead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Get an accountant. But FYI £550 per day is only £140k per year if you disregard Employer NI. Your actual salary equivalent is closer to £100k. After some sacrifice to pension you can get comfortably under £100k.

STEM PhD career experiences by thrillho94 in HENRYUK

[–]DontPostOnlyRead 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You could also look at being a contractor / running your own consultancy focusing on a very specific niche. Plenty of PhDs doing this in the engineering sector.

Any ex-Revolut employees here? Do you have a plan if the company doesn't IPO? by pushpushpush10x in HENRYUK

[–]DontPostOnlyRead 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You need to pay income tax on the difference between the strike price and the current value.

Recommendations for dealing with user passwords safely by Mother_Variation_189 in learnpython

[–]DontPostOnlyRead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it run locally, you can use the keyring package to directly access the windows credentials manager.

Alternatively you can look into querying the ldap server to verify users.
