Answer 1 :
okay
Answer 2 :
Michael, the answer is the same as when you asked this question before. Your accountant is wrong or you have misunderstood his advice. The correct accounting treatment is that dividends in the P&L are the same as the dividends actually paid. Tax treatment would be a different question with a more complicated answer.
Answer 3 :
The only reason for doing so is either :- 1) To evade Tax 2) To cover up Fraud elsewhere in the cash flow
Answer 4 :
The reason behind this is because a 10% tax credit is applied to the dividend, so if you have drawn £10k as a dividend the amount that goes on your Individual Self Assessment is 1/9 x £10k (=£11,111). The company would show £10k in its accounts.
Answer 5 :
I'm with JC on this. The answers to the previous question more than covered the matter.

Answer 1 :
All businesses must have Bookkeepers who keep all the financial records, then usually they send reports to the Accountant to do the taxes. Some people use an accountant for all of it, but it costs more.
Answer 2 :
to manage accounts. to prepare accounts. to explain accounts. to check accounts via audit. You will have to undergo a long training and then you can, on graduating, specialise. You will have to have an interest in Law too as money-laundering - theft etc is part of it all. If you have good grades, especially in English and Mathematics you should get indentured to a Firm or go to Uni.
Answer 3 :
Adding up other peoples money mainly

Is Maths harder in ACCA or CIMA training programme?
Is Maths harder in ACCA or CIMA training programme?
I am not that great at Maths plus the last time I studied it was about 15 years ago. I would like to retrain to become an accountant. Which accounting body needs more mathematical knowledge to complete their accounting programme? Do CIMA qualified accountants working in companies deal with more complex maths or the ACCA qualified, the ones that work in practice?

Answer 1 :
CIMA harder.
Answer 2 :
Both use Maths equally although you have to bear in mind it's not really like the maths you did at school - no geometry etc. It's more straightforward so as long as you have a good grasp of figures in general you should be fine.

What percentage are liquidators looking for?
What percentage are liquidators looking for?
I need to put in a firm offer against some IT hardware that a company spent £60k on. They folded, and their accountants are selling off assets. Does anybody have experience of what returns they would accept? Would an offer of 10% be accepted? They won't tell me any guide-pricing, and have asked for an offer. Sorry, I should clarify that they havent said its worth £60k, that's a rough figure I arrived at based on what they are looking to sell off.

Answer 1 :
They want as much as they can get. You could try offering 10%. If they tell you to get stuffed, you can always try another offer.
Answer 2 :
liquidators are empowered to sell for the maximum they can get for the property and if no other offers are on the table then your offer will be accepted i work for a furniture company and we had 3pce suites retailing at 1000 to 3000 pounds and we were told to sell at whatever we could get i sold a 3000 suite for 600 pounds and had no problem so make an offer you never know you may be lucky.
