gift ideas for her london image
Pokey
My two close friends and I decided to travel Europe for about a month for our graduation gift. Any suggestion on which countries and cities to visit while leaving from Amsterdam and end there, too? We would like to go in circle to make it easy for our trip.
Will be flying in from America then hopefully use train to travel in Europe.
Answer
Well it really depends on how much travelling you want to do, because of course travelling to & from is going to eat up a lot of time.
I would initially suggest that you start in Amsterdam then Paris, then London, then Brussels and then back to Amsterdam. This is a realistic enough schedule to travel but also really get to see the cities and enjoy them. I personally would spend a little less time in Brussels but you can use that remainder over the other three cities.
The advantage is great travel connections between the three which minimise travel time plus also it is not so expensive either. You can travel by budget airlines, train or bus (depending on how far in advance you book). Here's some links to check the prices out
http://www.eurolines.com - bus (coach)
http://www.skyscanner.net - flights

You could also use some of the time to check out some other places within the Netherlands, France, UK & Belgium, but I would keep it realistic. It's nice to say you have been to 30 countries in 30 days but not very enjoyable if most of it is done looking out of a window :0)
Good luck

What admin needs to be done when transferring/gifting shares to a spouse?

I am going to advise a client to transfer some shares so that they can be sold to utilise the annual exeption... but not sure about the actual proceedure to make it all kosher.... any ideas?
UK btw!
Answer
It depends on how the shares are held.
If a physical certificate is held, contact the registrar for a Stock Transfer Form. They are available on the net, but to ensure you get the right one, get it from the Registrar as failure to complete the right form or complete it correctly can result in the transfer being rejected. (If it is a London Stock Exchange listed company, you can find out who the registrar is on the LSE's website (www.londonstockexchange.com).)
If the shares are held in paperless form, ie they're held in an account at a stockbroker or at a stock exchange, then the client who is receiving the shares will need to open an account there too (or at another broker) so that the shares can be transferred across accounts.
In both instances, the person receiving the shares may be liable for stamp duty reserve tax on the transfer (see link to HMRC website).
