Help for Lloyd's names
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE CITY accountants Smith & Williamson have published a guide for distressed Lloyd's names. Lloyd's of London: A Guide for Members with Financial Difficulties points out that loss-making names may be eligible to claw back substantial amounts of tax.
For those wishing to avoid bankruptcy, advice is offered on setting up an Individual Voluntary Arrangement that establishes a compromise with creditors and lets the debtor carry on in his or her profession. It is cheaper than bankruptcy and debtors can retain a larger proportion of assets.
Information is also provided about the Members' Hardship Committee, along with guidelines on how to file for bankruptcy if necessary.
The guide is available free from Smith & Williamson, 1 Riding House, London W1A 3AS. Tel: 071-637 5377.
