Hiya,
I am currentl in the process of finishing up with my limited company. My accountant deals with all d maths typey stuff!!! However, i am finished contracting, i am not gonna close my company totall tho as just for future, its handy to have. Another reason i am doing this is cos there is a fee of approx 2.5k for actually closing off your limited company. An alternative is to keep it open but to do 0 returns on it every yeat, this only costs bout 50 euros every yr, which to b honest , for me at the mo is much nicer option than 2.5k.
This 10k tax free gift tho i have not heard about at ll, im thinking it is a fee that u possibly can right off against the cost of actually closing your company??
