hi, i am about to finish my year as a bankruptcy on the 31st august. i have received a letter from the liquidator detailing his plans to lodge a BRO against me for 9 years i replied stating i would accept two without the need to go to court.
he replied that this wasnt acceptable and his seeking the full nine years. he sent me a leaflet detailing what i cant do regarding this BRO. now i would like to ask you in plain english can i still work for my self if so can it be under my name or as a trading as company ie jack jones trading as xyz.
i went bankrupt under my own name trading as wolverhampton windows.
or do i have to work for someone direct.
thank you.

Hi Mail,
Firstly you can trade in your own name you do not have to be employed the BRO will however restrict you from trading or forming a LTD company or being a Director of a LTD company.
Secondly although the OR is seeking a nine year order the final decision rests with the court so I suggest you attend the hearing and put your side across.
BRO's are dealt with in three levels.
2-5 years 6-10 years 11-15 years.
It appears they are going for the maximum term on a minimum offence BRO.
I recently had a case where the OR was looking for a 10 year BRO, although the court agreed it was a medium level offence they only gave a 6 year BRO rather than the full 10.

thank you for your answer, now another question for you if you dont mind. as i owed the inland revenue a large amount of money ie VAT if i went self employed and because my turn over would be more than the VAT threshold would i be given a vat number and also would i have to lodge a bond with the vat people. if that is the case then i cant give them anything because of my circumstances.
regards j |

Hi J,
If you turnover more than the threshold for VAT then the normal rules apply and you will not be asked for a bond, however I have heard of the Revenue asking for monthly returns rather than quarterly.
