OK, so your accountant has deemed it taxable then. Seems correct, although an odd category for it.

iMac's aren't laptops. And a 2016 model with a decent processor is still worth £500+

I'm not an expert by any means but can't you claim "new style JSA" (for 6 months)

Not means tested (savings amount don't come into it) and...

Hmmmm....

"Go large" on your permie pension contributions to reduce your taxable income which would allow you to take higher levels of dividends from your LtdCo ?

I'm not an accountant tho so...

Sounds like your BB axle length is too small, did you do a like-for-like replacement ?

November 2019 from what I can see.

Did you complete the paperwork before the investment amount increased from $500K to $900K ?

Not now

Oh yes. All of my SIPP holdings are Vanguard funds, it just happens to be cheaper to hold them outside of the Vanguard SIPP for me.

Yes, but other providers have a flat fee half of that.

Vanguard are good but for larger holdings (£120K+) their %age based fee structure will cost more than a flat-fee provider. That's what's keeping me from using Vanguard currently.

Open an instant access business account and put the excess in there. Shawbrook instant access is probably the best you'll do currently.

Annoying that the web/desktop versions still rely on the phone to send/receive messages though. Whatsapp were supposed to be releasing standalone versions but hasn't happened yet.

Too old for Big Sur to work OOB, however it can be installed with "tweaks".

I'd put it at "intermediate" level :)

The good news is that you no longer need to open up the Sonoff and solder wires to reflash it. Everything can be done via REST calls.

Co-incidentally I received a Sonoff Mini today and flashed Tasmota onto it :happy

Buy a £100-£150 Haswell based 4 core i5 corporate machine (2015-ish), put a SSD in it and Hackintosh it. Great performance and will run Big Sur when it's released tomorrow.

Hope you get it sorted. A painful lesson to always to your own research and don't just follow others.

Buy a Sonoff Wifi plug and put Tasmota on it. No more phoning home to China, all controlled via your home LAN with Alexa compatability if you so desire.

This by any chance ?

name and shame ? (so others don't suffer the same fate)

Kent Reliance still paying 0.9% instant access.

Will no doubt change but I've not had any comms from them stating an upcoming rate cut yet.

Those "notes" read like a 16 year old kid has written them.

Yes, last month and it was paid within 6 days from submission. Not had this month's payment yet though.

If I were you I'd edit your post and delete the Felicitas link, when you click on it, the URL changes to include a gmail address, yours I guess.

I've got 5 Hikvision cameras wired to a same brand network video recorder via power over ethernet.

Good brand and all works well. I've built it up over the last 12 months adding 3 cams in this...

If you're talking about the CJRS furlough payment then yes, received payment on Weds following application last Friday.

Crazy, mine (Contratax) did is as a BAU service.

Do you manage your own PAYE or does your accountant do it ? If the latter then they'll probably have the logon.

It's always worked like this for me i.e. retained profits updated as soon as invoice submitted.

ER remains but with a £1million cap. :music:

Thanks, yes that's what I meant. If I had a pension scheme which I paid into say 20 years ago but not since and the pension account were still active, then that would tick the box.

You can contribute £40K + any unused allowance from the previous three years as long as you are a member of a pension scheme. Doesn't matter if it's a new SIPP. I opened a SIPP three years ago and...

Starling here, plays nicely with Freeagent, instantaneous updates.

Done

I switched from Cater Allen to Starling last year for the business current account and it's great.

Buyers market.

A Pi is really overkill for interfacing to a one-wire sensor, an ESP8266 based board would cost much less (under $5) and do the job.

Worth looking into, I have an internet enabled beer fridge...

Yes, I noticed that. Depends upon how close you are to 55 I guess. I'm *very* close so will hold off opening the Vanguard SIPP until the drawdown is available, will look at the terms and compare...

But if those jobs are in the "Job in a shortage occupation" category then that adds 20 points. If you can speak English and have a job offer/sponsorship from an employer then you have the necessary...

Yes, Vanguard products only.

Yay, another scheme.

Pile in.

Companies exempt from the new legislation can.

Is it tax deductible ?

While this may be the case, I wouldn't want to be anywhere near that car crash when it occurs.
