Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Grote partijen zijn al een tijdje onderweg met retail media. Ondertussen worden in dit domein ook de kansen zichtbaar voor andere spelers in de markt. Maar met die kansen ontstaan ook vragen: Zelf retail media worden of erop adverteren? In welke fase van de funnel past het en hoe integreer je het in een mediaplan? Wat is nu precies het verschil met marketplaces en Programmatic ads? In dit half uur beslechten we de dilemma's en krijg je antwoorden op wanneer het voor jou tijd is om de volgende stap te zetten.
RMD24 | Debunking the non-endemic revenue myth Marvin Vacquier Droop | First ...BBPMedia1
Marvin neemt je in deze presentatie mee in de voordelen van non-endemic advertising op retail media netwerken. Hij brengt ook de uitdagingen in beeld die de markt op dit moment heeft op het gebied van retail media voor niet-leveranciers.
Retail media wordt gezien als het nieuwe advertising-medium en ook mediabureaus richten massaal retail media-afdelingen op. Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren. Marvin belicht de uitdagingen die er zijn om echt aansluiting te vinden op die markt van non-endemic advertising.
Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

What are the current pension allowances?
• Annual Allowance is £50,000.
• Annual Allowance charge is a rate linked to an individual’s marginal
tax rate.
• Tax relief on contributions continues to be available at an individual’s
top rate of income tax (even 50% tax payers!). But for how long?
• Defined Benefit accrual valuation is now 16:1.
• Three year carry forward provision (tax years 2009/10, 2010/11 and
2011/12). Carry forward allows contributions of up to £200,000 to be
paid in the 2012/2013 tax year.
• From 6 April 2012, the standard lifetime allowance has been 1.5
million (the level it was at A-Day).
24
25. 01
So, what are the opportunities?
Carry Forward
• You must have been a member of a Registered Pension Scheme in
the carry forward year.
• You must deduct contributions actually paid in each tax year.
• To the extent that those contributions exceeded £50,000, the
balance does not have to be deducted from the carry forward
allowance from earlier (but not later) tax years.
• It is not required for you to have had relevant UK earnings in that
tax year.
• Do need relevant UK earnings in year contribution actually paid (if
member contribution).
25
26. Maximising contributions
Carry Forward Case Study
• James is aged 45,
• His recent contributions record is as follows;
Tax Year Contribution Deemed Annual Available Carry
Paid Allowance Forward
2009/10 £20,000 £50,000 £30,000
2010/11 £20,000 £50,000 £30,000
2011/12 £20,000 £50,000 £30,000
• In 2012/13, his Relevant UK Earnings are £170,000
• James can therefore make a maximum tax relievable pension contribution,
without resulting in an annual allowance tax charge, of £140,000 (i.e. £50,000
annual allowance in 2012/13 plus the carried forward annual allowance of
£90,000).
26
27. 01
Maximising contributions cont’d
Pension Input Period (PIP) Planning
• Pension contributions in excess of £50,000 in a tax year can be made
by manipulating your Pension Input Period (PIP).
• A PIP is the period over which you calculate the amount of your
pension saving.
• Any new pension plans taken out since 6th April 2011 will have a PIP
aligned with the tax year, although a different date can be nominated.
• A PIP does not have to be exactly the same period as the tax year and
does not necessarily have to be a year.
• Manipulating PIPs won’t allow you to pay more into pensions overall
but will allow earlier payment of contributions thus benefitting from an
additional year’s investment growth.
27
28. 01
So, what are the opportunities? cont’d
PIPs – Case Study
• Julie sets up a personal pension on 1st December 2012 with a £50,000
pension contribution.
• Julie could nominate to end the input period earlier on 31st January 2013.
• As this input period ends in the 2012/13 tax year, the contribution is tested
against the annual allowance of £50,000 for the 2012/13 tax year.
• Julie’s second input period now starts on 1st February 2013 and ends on 1st
March 2014.
• Julie can therefore make a further £50,000 pension contribution on 1st
February 2013 which would be tested against the annual allowance for the
2013/14 tax year.
28
29. 01
Maximising contributions cont’d
Paying higher pension contributions
• For many high earners, the £50,000 maximum tax relievable
pension contribution is restrictive. However, there are opportunities
to make pension contributions above £50,000
• A Defined Benefit SSAS provides an allowable level of contribution
which can often be significantly greater than £50,000
• This is because employer contributions are actuarially calculated,
using the 16:1 DB accrual valuation, for an appropriate level of
annual, secure benefit.
29
30. 01
Maximising pension contributions cont’d
Case Study
• DB SSAS – Malcolm, aged 50, wants to secure a guaranteed pension income at
age 55.
• By dividing the Annual Allowance limit of £50,000 by the DB accrual factor of
16:1, a pension of £3,125 per annum can be obtained.
• The required DB contribution to provide this is actuarially calculated as
£105,000. This sum is fully relievable for the Company making the contribution,
there is no spread of relief and no tax implications for the member.
• If no pension contributions had been paid in the previous 3 years then carry
forward would be available.
• A pension of £3,125 per annum could be obtained for each carry forward year.
• A total contribution of £420,000 could therefore be paid.

Using Commercial Property for Tax Planning and
Cash Generation
Using a pension plan to purchase a commercial property
• Applicable to both existing commercial property or new purchases
• Releases capital held in the pension scheme back to a company or
the individual owner
• Tax efficient way of owning a commercial property
• Enables certain types of pensions to hold commercial property as an
investment to provide future retirement benefits
31
32. 01
Commercial property and pensions
Benefits
• No capital gains tax payable on the future sale of property
• Rental income received by the pension is free from income tax
• Property can potentially be free from IHT
• Creditors have no access if the company goes into liquidation
• Company funds that would be used for property purchase are
released for other use
32
33. 01
Case study
• John is aged 45
• He owns a successful packaging business
• The business owns their trading premises valued at £300,000
• He has a number of personal pension plans – total value of £210,000
• John transfers his PPPs into a SIPP
• The SIPP can borrow up to 50% of the scheme assets held by the SIPP -
£105,000
• The combined the value of the SIPP assets and borrowing total £315,000
• This sum is sufficient to cover the purchase of his warehouse [£300,000] by
the SIPP, plus have surplus to cover costs and expenses
• Property is now owned by John’s SIPP and £300,000 of cash has been
released back into John’s company
33
34. 01
Summary
• Use annual allowances, carry forward and pension input periods to
maximise contributions
• Defined benefit route can allow companies to get even more into a
pension scheme
• Pension schemes can present a tax efficient way of holding
commercial property and can also release cash back to a company
