Claiming Your Tax Refund

It is estimated that 1 in 3 people in the UK have overpaid on their taxes but are not even aware of it. This means that you too could be due a tax rebate which could amount to several hundreds or even thousands of pounds. Applying for a tax rebate typically means filling in numerous forms and completing a number of calculations and if you don’t have any experience of dealing with this kind of thing (which very few of us really do) then you may consider it to be too much hard work or your tax rebate claim may be unsuccessful despite having a genuine case.

The actual amount of tax you are required to pay on an annual basis will depend on your personal circumstances as well as how much you earn but it will usually amount to several thousands of pounds and could be anywhere from around one fifth of your total earnings to nearly a half.

If you have overpaid for any reason then you are entitled to claim a tax rebate and receive that money back. After all, it is money that you have worked hard to earn so why shouldn’t you claim it back if you have unknowingly overpaid? Whether you have only worked a part of a year, were made redundant part way through the year, or you are set to leave the UK you may be due some tax back.

The difficult financial situation that many of us find ourselves in means that every penny counts and none of us can really afford to lose an average of nearly 1,000 from our annual salary. You could spend the money on a family holiday, on paying bills, or on updating and upgrading your car. Most of us place our faith in our payslips, our employers, and the Inland Revenue to get taxes right and we don’t even check that we are being charged the correct amount. If you are part of a PAYE scheme then you could be owed several hundred pounds in backdated, overpaid tax and you should consider starting
a tax rebate claim in order to try and get this money back.

HOW TO CHOOSE A COMPANY NAME FOUR YOUR BUSINESS STARTUP

One of the greatest challenges of starting a company is choosing the name for the company. It is a process that doesn’t need only dedication but also creativity. One has to be ready to come up with something unique and different from the other names around.

Choosing a Company name?

There are several names one can pick for his company but there is nothing as spectacular as a name that is both unique and unforgettable. Also, do not pick a name which spelling is unusual. Stick with something that customers can spell easily and is also easy to pronounce and remember. The shorter the length of the company name, the better. Also, pick a name that makes some sense. Lots of names have negative connotations in other languages. Try to avoid that embarrassment. Also, try to make sure your name is available. You can do this by checking up your preferred name with your State Incorporation site, Network Solutions for the domain name and the U.S. Patent Office for Trademarks.

Starting the Company Name Search?

When you want to choose a company name, you will have to do a Company Name Search. This is to
prevent embarrassments. Having the same name as another company is like infringing on someone’s right because many companies have had their names trademarked. This is to stop callous elements from trying to make a fortune off their name or dupe people. Whichever way, it is good if a name search is done before picking a name for your company. You can do this by searching through the internet, telephone and trade directories. A lot of companies have their domains online and you will definitely see the same name as the name you chose for your company if you search through. This will prompt you to choose a more unique name.

The Law and Your Company Name?

A company name is an important and valuable part of your business. It can be used to reflect what
the company does, or the attitudes and ideals that you want your company to embody. A lot of people, complying with their State laws have gone ahead to register their companies with their State. This may prevent someone from using your company’s name within the State but it doesn’t affect the country. What gives you absolute power is the trademarks right. Only federal registration gives you truly comprehensive rights. When this is done, your-company-name-is protected by the law and cannot be used by someone else. It becomes your sole property.

Protecting Your Company Name?

If you have a unique business name and you don’t want someone else picking it and using it as their
own company name, you have to take steps to protect it. First you have to register the name of your company either as a sole proprietorship or partnership. The process of incorporating your company comes next. This is done with the Secretary of the State your company is located. This will prevent
confusingly similar names from popping up in the future.

Choosing a Company name FAQ

The purpose of an FAQ is to address frequently asked questions about your company. The FAQ is always featured on the site of the company. It can act as a point of contact for customers looking for answers-before they reach out to you directly with your questions. So it is important to choose your FAQ carefully. FAQ featured should be able to alleviate purchasing anxieties that your product page doesn’t address directly. It should also be able to earn trust by demonstrating product expertise and explaining your business model. Customers should be delighted when the page creatively answers their questions.
