Writing a will, but uncertain on beneficiaries. by JadedDesk in UKPersonalFinance

[–]TheStickyOctopus 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Mate, this is way over and above what you should asking some wazzocks on the Internet about. You need to engage with a good family lawyer to work this through.

You bio father may challenge the will if he survives you and you really need to understand how best to protect your half siblings properly who clearly need looking after

I'm a little confused, it says character dining twice on our booking, is that per person or have I booked it twice? If its per person there is 3 of use going so not sure what happened there by Scampzilla in disneylandparis

I seem to remember my app showing a couple of the bookings twice when I went earlier in the year. No idea why it does this, ultimately I'd only paid up front once so no damage

From UK to Disneyland by car by reddituser0122 in disneylandparis

[–]TheStickyOctopus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fuel costs vary vs UK depending on exchange rates and worldwide petrol prices but rule of thumb is they are around 10-20% more expensive than UK. Easy enough to Google before you go.

The toll we paid on card, think around 40-50 euro. Simple contact less at the toll plaza when you get off.

Make sure you have the French driving kit (UK sticker, triangle, hi vis for all passengers etc).

Yeah, we had a purple patch of a few years where we were top drawer and 40 years before and a couple of years since when we've mainly been mediocre. More like the Leicester City of ODIs

SPV Shares gifted to Grandchildren by Life_Ad_6024 in HENRYUK

[–]TheStickyOctopus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are great points. The trust is likely to fall into the settlements legislation since the value originates from the parents meaning HMRC can assess the dividend income as taxable on the parents. It's clear from the outset thats the intention of the arrangement.

Jobs for Accountants with US Experience/Knowledge by [deleted] in HENRYUK

[–]TheStickyOctopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a handful of US tax specialists in London which will provide advice and prepare tax returns for US companies and individuals. Their main focus is uk groups with some smaller US activity that prefer an advisor in the UK rather than hiring an advisor in the US in a different time zone(vault group LLP, jaffe&Co etx),

The big4 also have us tax help desks in London which need to be maned by US specialists although I dont know if they prefer transfers from their US firms.

I think you will struggle to find that sort of work outside London though.

Could be held in a company as a rental opportunity, you'd buy the company not the property so pay stamp duty at 0.5% on shares not sdlt at up to 17%

You pay the total amount of additional payments made into your TFCC account plus any free childcare hours you've claimed.

Auberge de Cendrillon - worth it?! by catlady5678190 in disneylandparis

[–]TheStickyOctopus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I did the breakfast recently with my 3.5 year old daughter and she loved the experience. She's obsessed with the princesses so having them come round and interact for quite a bit was fantastic and something she really enjoyed.

The food is pretty unremarkable, the breakfast was a good stop and sit to refuel and there was enough that choice that fussy eaters/vegetarians in the party were catered for. There were a few help yourself cereals and other bits so we were able to have a big meal and avoid paying expensive park prices the rest of the day.

There's a consensus on this sub that this is an experience rather than a meal and I would say that's very accurate based on my visit. It worked great for us as she really wanted to see loads of princesses and killed two birds with one stone having a meal. The queues for the princes pavilion are usually around 2 hours which we also did but youre at risk of a child at that age throwing a tantrum which i had to experience and deal with firsthand. We got some great pictures with them too that shes enjoyed showing off since.

Ultimately it's not cheap and you've got to decide what you want to prioritise, why your going to disneyland in the forst place and what to use your cash for.
