    Heptavac and footvax

    Thought that might be the case. Il just give them one now and leave it a few weeks till the next. Better do the heptavac first otherwise you can be sure they’ll be a dead one next week

    Lambs on turnips and hoppers

    Family partnership - trapped!

    Turnover £550k. Problem is quite a bit of the profit is valuation increase and also a loan that we’d been paying off so not actually all cash. 1- true, tax is paid by the business….not out of my drawings. 2-yes, cottage, truck and council tax paid. Perfectly happy with my income from the...

    Family partnership - trapped!

    How I interpret it, is that that percentage split is for the profits only, which I think is mainly to spread the tax liability as otherwise my father would be paying 40% tax.

    Family partnership - trapped!

    I think I’ve got myself into a pickle mainly down to my own naivety. I’m a partner in the family business - my father and myself. we’re a tenanted farm with a reasonably sizeable livestock enterprise. In terms of profit, we are split 51% to my father and 49% to me. Total profits on the...
