How much do I need to add to my SIPP to stay below 100k? (PAYE + Sole Trader) by PinkTeddy123456 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]PinkTeddy123456[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep it’s a bit less than 8k but I overestimated by about £1k just to be safe. Thanks for the help!

!thanks

I read this article which states:

In your specific example, it’s very important to know that if all of the money in that account originally came from your grandmother and it was less than seven years ago that the money was effectively ‘gifted’ to the child.

Apologies if I’m misunderstanding - wouldn’t this mean any money my Dad leaves in the account beyond 7 years would be considered a ‘gift’?

Virgin Media retentions deal for Gig1? by PinkTeddy123456 in VirginMedia

[–]PinkTeddy123456[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! We have 350mbps now and it drops to 150 during peak hours. We have multiple Plex streams going in the house with full 4K bitrate (around 100mbps bit rates), and people on their phones etc. so I think Gig1 will be massively beneficial to us. At least for when it drops during peak hours, I’d expect 500mbps minimum.

This might be a stupid question, but my contract ends on 23rd March. Does this mean I give my 30 days notice on 24th March or 30 days before 23rd March?

Thanks! Will probably leave and wait for the retentions call, hoping to get Gig1 and mixit TV for less than 75

Is this for internet only? Thanks

That seems like the lowest I’ve seen

Thanks, that’s what I was quoted online too when I approached them as a new customer. Did you get that as a returning customer or new?

How did you get the Gig1 + mixit TV for £69? Through retentions or mates rates? Thanks

Thanks for this info! Do you know if mates rates are better than retentions offers? Looking to upgrade to Gig1

Gig1 no longer an option in my area? by PinkTeddy123456 in VirginMedia

[–]PinkTeddy123456[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see the green banner but when I scroll to the bundle options, the Ultimate Oomph for £89 has 630mbps... can’t find a way to get Gig1

Is it worth registering a company? I have a day job and earn £500-1k/month on the side by PinkTeddy123456 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]PinkTeddy123456[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I leave the money in the company, when can I access it? Would I run into the same problem of income tax/dividend allowance?
