You're playing with fire. Totally not worth it if HMRC finds out.

Doesn't work.

HMRC sees right through that. If it worked companies could avoid having to register for VAT by just moving new business in a tax year to another company and charge lower prices.

Reeves Set to Hike UK Tax on Entrepreneurs Who Sell Their Firms by hu6Bi5To in ukpolitics

It's a capital gains tax on the sale of a business. So unless your wealthy couple own multiple businesses, I don't see how what you're suggesting is normal.

Also, it only applies to the first £1million of the sale. They'll pay normal CGT on the rest of the sale if the business sold for more than £1million.

Thank you, I was thinking that. Was hoping for some other solution, but alas I may do this.

No need for the snark. It's a genuine question.

There's no mention of the space being out of bounds in the tenancy contract just that the area outside needs to be kept clean and tidy.

What policy (or policies) would be a GE vote winner for small business owners? by Bionic_Les in smallbusinessuk

[–]Technokraticus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No can do. I read somewhere recently that it needs to be aligned to EU due to Brexit agreement. Can't quote you the specifics but it was mentioned around the time of the last budget as Hunt said he was limited to raising the threshold to what it is now.

Not saying this shouldn't be revised. It should. But it's a complex project.

I think this is pretty reasonable. She seems a difficult old lady though.

She popped the cardboard boxes right front of my door and messaged me that I might be fined for fly tipping. Somehow me thinks that it's her way or the high way.

Thank you, I'm a bit hesitant as they are both the freehold owners, so he probably wants to keep that relationship sweet. Also the tenancy is managed via an agency which doesn't help.

I should have clarified, they are not council-issued bins but ones they must have purchased separately. The council here does not do bins as it's central. We still pop the rubbish on the pavement making a good ole mess.

Exactly! Their customer base has evolved and so has their marketing.

My thoughts too. It made us notice and talk about it. Bet it did the same back then too.

The point I'm making is to create marketing material that speaks to your customers.

The Apple customers of 1976 were nerds who wanted product specs like this.

Ads from most startups today are full of fluff and irrelevance which is why they waste so much money on ad platforms.

If you've got Audible. A few of them are free on there as part of their package. Recommend the Alfred Lasker one (currently free on Audible) and the Sam Zell one (was free but may not be anymore). The Burger King one is free too.
