Rovorsche Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Making Tax Digital! Under the guise of streamlining the process I went down the route of linking my company bank account to Xero. After a bit of cocking about the process shuddered into life and all was good. Until today, Co-operative business banking is not compatible with Xero until April and that is an estimate. I don't know if the issue is Co-op but suspect Xero are the culprits as a number of banks are affected with the same estimated date. Either way its a shitty thing to be changing systems to introduce failures especially just as end of year returns are due. Somebody somewhere needs a P45 for this kind of screw up and a weapons grade wedgie as they are thrown off the premises. Moving a company account is a tedious affair usually with face to face and form filling, not an option at present. Any recommendations for a replacement business account? myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cort16 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I’ve got an old iPhone 6s that was barely clinging onto life. I was resealing the bath the other week and dropped it on the tiles cracking the screen. That was was the last straw so I ordered a good used iPhone 7 from eBay . I. got it all setup , restored my back etc. Perfect . I Sat down to listen to a podcast to drown out all the wfh background noise and no fucking headphone socket! . Bastard, this is when apple moved to Bluetooth only to force people to buy their over priced ear buds. I do have a set of Bluetooth headphone but they last 4 hours and give no indication when they’re going to run out. not all progress is good hennabm and myglaren 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is Co-Op won’t have fully implemented Open Banking for business customers - Yorkshire Bank are the same, integration with FreeAgent has stopped working now. Monzo do business banking now - there’s a free tier or £5 a month if you want things like said integration. No per transaction fees etc. Instant account opening and use CASS to switch. Not a single form required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw those but can't see them lasting very long. Fortunately she is working from home and always walks to the shops, only a ten minute walk and there are multiple shops including Sainsburys, ASDA and dozens of smaller shops - which may or may not be open of course.

outlaw118 Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 They say shit happens in threes..... Put some washing in the machine, got the box of Persil out. Bottom of box decides to fall out, and now I've got a kitchen floor like Shaun Ryder's coffee table. Cleared that up.... Went out to get a coat of wax on Megamoose. All's going well, driver's side rear quarter done, inside the door shuts, lovely. About to start on the front wing, and my bottle of polish blows over, all over the bonnet and onto the floor. Look's like I've been Stu_CDXing everywhere. Cleaned that up...... Decided that I'll touch in the rendering round the windows we had fitted last year. Mix up paint with a bit of white to account for fading, brush on. Lovely. Until I start round the front of the house, where the existing render has faded more than the back. It looks like Stevie Wonder did it. Fuck it. I'm doing nothing else today. Stanky, BorniteIdentity, paulplom and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakebullet Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 WTF is wrong with people? Went on my daily allowed exercise, and walked to the nearest bit of nature.

The Varta one linked to will be better if she can wait for delivery though and cheaper too! The Varta at ECP is subject to a 50% discount and there is a branch near me. I know they are often rubbish but they can't get that badly wrong. They will deliver too, usually same day. She has got the car started so perhaps it will be OK. Lots of electrical faults on it, spurious warning lights and sounds and bulbs blowing but she won't let me take it to be fixed. Just had it's MOT so nothing to worry about on that account. I thought my son was going to see to it as he has more idea, being a motorcyclist but he never showed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthbay Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Twats who pay themselves by dividend to avoid tax are up in arms that they aren’t eligible for help under the new scheme. They have been milking a system for years and not contributing to society but now expect those of us who play the game to bail them out.

Timewaster Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 This clap for the NHS thing this evening. I am all for the NHS and massive respect for everyone who works in health care especially now. But what IS the point in me clapping on the doorstep 30 miles from the hospital, and 2 miles from the heath centre, which is closed? I know people want to do something, but this is pointless.

I am NHS and agree completely, I'd rather people just stayed at home isolated instead of poncing around in Lycra, I was working my arse off sorting shit out and the park opposite the clinic was like a scene from Miami fucking beach, they really don't realise what shit is about to go down. sdkrc, myglaren, Tamworthbay and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of us had no choice but to operate through a service company. Genuinely. Those of us who did have a choice were often offered 3 years under a service company or 6 months as a freelancer. I don’t know a single soul who would ever EVER opt to pay more in tax. As for not contributing to society? Really?? At least I know what people think of me.

May as well shout down the toilet. Its a great idea in parts but I was confused earlier when it all kicked off. What are you clapping for ? The NHS people! So I peered out the window and asked "Is there an Ambulance out there ?" No, but we all do it I went back to stirring dinner (Not a euphemism) and cogitated. Its something to do, keeping a routine of some sort but that isnt the only option. Wearing my cynical hat, I think this is a disguised way of getting people to check up on each other, if Ethel and Cedric dont open the door................

If they pay themselves in dividends they will get quite rightly shafted by HMRC. If they pay themselves a salary AND reap the rewards of risk through dividends as the law allows I dont see a problem.

I wondered WTF was going on outside when I heard it, loud cheering and clapping round here usually means a good fight is happening outside but I was on a few local Faceache groups and one or two NHS workers had been allowed home for some reason and actually heard it and were pretty positive about it. It's the 2020 equivalent of 'Fighting them on the beaches' I guess. purplebargeken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
