Answer 1 :
Hi, this is the first time I ever hear of this qualification, I went to see the website and I was very interested, I asked them for some information, I live in Jordan, their answer was this, and I quote: "The AAT Accounting Qualification is not available in Jordan and so it will not be possible for you to study AAT. I am sorry that I cannot give you a more favorable reply." I was in shock, because their website says that there is an e-learning programme, and even if there wasn't any, the guy didn't even offer me an alternative, like suggesting that I come to England and study at some school or something,I mean its a long shot that I will ever say "OK" but I do have the right to be offered the option, right. I think these people do not care how popular the qualification they are offering is! Do you?

Answer 1 :
There si no register of business names in the UK, you can call yourself whatever you want as long as you dont pass yourself off as someone else. No idea whether you need an accountant - it depends on your own knowledge of accountancy.
Answer 2 :
If you are a sole trader (as opposed to a limited company) you can call yourself almost whatever you want, with the proviso that any legal documents, including letters, invoices, receipts etc contain a phrase similar to this: Joe Bloggs t/a Bytebusters or Bytebusters is a trading name of Joe Bloggs This is in the Business Names Act 1985. I would recommend you use an accountant - but if you have knowledge of book-keeping / accountancy then maybe yo could do it yourself.
Answer 3 :
If you are thinking of becoming a contractor, contact me, I used to be one.
Answer 4 :
Dead easy. Start trading. Get business bank account (your name trading as your company). Get company name. Tell HMRC that you are self employed (they will send self assessment forms). Pay NI monthly minimum. Keep books. Profit becomes your personal income and taxable as such. Don't need accountant necessarily.

Answer 1 :
Unless your job REQUIRES you to use a car during your job, then you don't need one. However, to get hired, you will be better off with your own transportation.
Answer 2 :
The two are quite separate. So the answer is yes you can. The problem arises when an employer wants you to have a driving licence as a condition of employment. Having said that you will pass your driving test so it will not be a great worry to you
Answer 3 :
What? The job involves money, they do not run a taxi service.
Answer 4 :
A licence is not a requirement to be an accountant, full stop. However, some employers may require you to visit clients, or it may be necessary to get to work. I know personally an accountant who doesn't drive, in fact cannot, but he gets to work by train and bus and has done for decades.
Answer 5 :
An accountant sits at a desk pushing a pen around. You don't need a driving license to do that.

Answer 1 :
this situation is diabolical if any one else had been doing what most not all politicians are doing this is actually benefit fraud and if any normal member of the public did the same thing they would be sent to prison so why haven't they been i think that the policy of slap there wrists and make them say sorry is just abysmal they should be sent straight to prison with everyone else and aside from my tirade against the situation other members of the cabinet can claim almost anything they want and it has gone on for way to long and needs to be stopped. if anyone is in doubt the reason they give themselves for stealing all this money is that they are allowed to claim money for renting or buying a house in london near the place of work there also allowed to claim basic necessities however claiming for the weekly shop a new tv and sky is not real needed to survive another problem is house swapping this is where they claim they live in the house they got for free full time sell it keep the money then move back into there Original house its not right when people cant be supplied drugs on the nhs because theres not enough money and the politicians supposed to be managing this problem and many like it in the country are soaking tax payers money frankly its a disgrace
Answer 2 :
Nice rant Robert :)
Answer 3 :
Given the current rules, pretty much anything, apparently. Bob. Ranting.
Answer 4 :
Is there anything left in this fiasco that surprises you? Its quite obvious that these MP's have an open cheque book,which has shown what a greedy bunch of individuals they really are. I am so pleased that the whole matter on expenses has been brought into the public domain.
Answer 5 :
The thing is about all this is that if you or I or any other man in the street had been found by the Inland Revenue to have been fiddling tax in a particular year then they have the right to go back 6 more years (so 7 in total) to investigate further. Thes MPs are only being investigated for 4 years...so God knows what unlawful claims will have gone undetected
Answer 6 :
Like everything else as time passes the claims fiasco will be forgotten about.Of course the MPs are crooks and their expenses exceed their salaries.All the hot air about sacking offenders is rubbish as their wouldst be any MPs left.No doubt criminal action should be taken against many of them on the grounds of misappropriations of Public Funds,will it happen, Most unlikely.
