That would be a much simpler option. I didn't think they could do that though if the sole objective was to try to release the frozen funds and they did not intend to continue on with the company? Is that different if it was Companies House that struck the company off?
How would I relate it to the trade of the company? You mean like if the company activity was XYZ and they invested in a related commodity or something? Like there was a direct/obvious company link?
Thank you both - I was just concerned if there was a specific rule on if you needed to uplift the original amount and add the VAT or if you could use the original amount as the gross and have to suck it up and absorb the amount - I can imagine some of the customers being happy with an extra bill a few months down the line, so it just didn't sound like a logical approach once you had already agreed a cost.
I managed to find a way to remove us as agents for that service, not that I think this prevents a new accountant from authorising themselves.. I thought this though too - I have never once asked an old accountant to remove themselves, I simply follow a process to authorise the new client coming over and have never had any issue. Do you find of late new accountants asking for log ins etc as well?? I am finding that quite a lot and we never have individual log ins for clients, nor do we access things through their personal online portals, we always use agent portals only. Very odd ways to work!
Hi, there was a change in PAYE system from an old fashioned one to Sage, hence I can get all payslips from April 2018 to date but not the ones I want. The employer/employee relationship has broken down on leaving, so if there was an alternative to making contact with them I was going to do that first. I have looked at the personal tax account - good call thank you! It does not show pension but it does show taxable pay, tax and NI. There are variable months with things like bonus, which makes it hard to run through an online calculator. However, the taxable pay is lower than the salary. Would there be any other obvious reason for this other than a pension deduction??
Thank you all, I always try to be helpful on handovers. But I have never had this issue - I never feel the need to ask prior agents to delete their authorisations - we just issue authorisation requests via HMRC and take over. I do get requests for log ins occasionally but we dont access individual accounts, only the agent portal. I can't see how you can't get a fresh log in even if one of the prior directors had an account. It has baffled me why it is this difficult, because surely, even if all directors had a gateway log in, this would not block access to a new agent in any way....
I looked on HMRC and see that you change from rent a room to claim costs and expenses instead if that is more beneficial. However, I am not sure if an additional bathroom would be an allowable cost as in essence it does also improve the property even though its initial use is for the comfort and convenience of the additional tenants....
It is based on 2.57% of £31,000 as per key statement document. However, his information on auto enrolment (via company emails) states 1% employee, 1% employer with 80% bu employee, 1% employer and 20% Relief). So, calculating banded or unbanded on the 1%'s at the time, is still less than £66.44. I dont understand if the £66.44 is solely from Employer, if that over rides their 1% and if the employees 1% is somehow wrapped up in that amount.

Thank you - yes, its an odd one isn't it, that's why I thought i would throw it out there! That seems like a logical approach though, thanks again!

Thank you for this, I really appreciate you taking the time to do it - will follow this process so all bases are covered.
