We have worked with Syd, over the past couple of years for the Nursery accounts which can be demanding. He has also helped to navigate our way through covid and any grants or insurance claims we have put in. Gives great practical strategic advice to help move the business forward.

Nothing ever appears to be too much trouble and his support not only during Covid was more than you would hope for. He goes that bit further, gives very sound and good advice and makes you feel that things are achievable. He will always respond to you contacting him quickly. We have no hesitation in recommending Syd.

The rules that determine whether and how much VAT is chargeable on services sold to, and received from, abroad come from knowing what the place of supply of services for VAT purposes is. These rules are detailed, complex and extensive and this note merely provides an introduction and outlines the basics. More of the detail where necessary may be found in the individual VAT notices for which links have been provided at the end of this article.

Much of the law on dividend payments is contained in part 23 of the Companies Act 2006 and is complex and therefore easy for directors to make mistakes around. It is therefore important for shareholders and directors alike to ensure that they stay on the right side of the law by knowing the answers to common questions that arise when taking money out of their limited companies and to know where to look for additional information where more complex questions arise.

The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Bill received royal assent on 26th October 2023, becoming the Economic Crime and Corporate Act 2023 (ECCTA). ECCTA contains a range of measures to tackle economic crime and improve corporate transparency. While parts of the Act deal with wider aspects of economic crime including enforcement over cryptoassets, money laundering and a failure to prevent fraud, much of ECCTA is concerned with the oversight and transparency of corporate structures in the UK and includes a significant overhaul of Companies House and the way it works.
