Franchise Licence Fee

Hello,

Just wondering if someone could help please?

How would i apply a franchise licence fee to an account? 50k will be transferred to a holding company, as capital introduced. The holding company will transfer 25k to company A for a licence fee. The holding company will then transfer 25k to company B for another licence fee.

can we depreciate the cost over the life of the franchise agreement?

Company Tax Reference

I'm at my witts end 😫 I'm trying to obtain an Employer tax reference number for a company that doesn't print it on their pay slips, the client doesn't have a P60 yet, and the Company in question doesn't answer the phone or reply to emails! Does anyone have any advice for how else I could get hold of it. 

I'd really appreciate any help.

Thank you.x
