E&TB Ltd-2018 accounts

Postby Dave Smith » Wed Nov 21, 2018 11:11 am

Looking around Companies House thought id look up the Bunny Company accounts.As at 31 March 2018...Will was owed £193,054 whilst our Ian OWED BACK to the company £51,010.

All in the public domain- take a look yourselves.Sort of tells a story....

Well....it means Mac has drawn out more than his 50% share of the dividends. He did owe 90k 2017...so they made some money the last year. Bands set up Ltd Co's to pump the live income through but no he's deffo been taking the cash!

Mac and Will get paid about £500 a gig the rest of them get about £200 + expenses.

less at festival appearances

So at about 40 gigs a year that's 20K a year. not even the national average wage

that's why they tour so much and to make it easy on themselves very little variation between each Show.

Quite sad really.

Can I ask how you know this please? Just interested because I imagined it to be far more for Mac and Will, especially considering how prices for gigs has risen.

£500 is pretty shit considering one of those VIP tickets costs not far off £100 and they cost fuck all extra to put together, those crappy posters and shopping bags probably cost pennies to produce. Someone's making money somewhere.

Exactly, I’d say it’s more than that. Don’t think that’s why they don’t change the setlist either tbh

Not read the accounts but the point of the ltd co would be that it would get the cash and the chaps get minimum wage as employees. Though you still pay tax on divies even with my meagre setup (just little old me) my accountant managed to be creative. I.e tax.

And if i was in charge (if only....., we'd all be millionaires) i might have called the company something inocuous, mereyside pet supplies ktd ir something just to make this kibd of speculation more diffivukt. Did you look for other companies dave?

Just reminded me of another amusing anecdote from the fc relationship archives. 90s lineup mrs fc was wont to brag at times about how much cash the new mr fc (if you follow) had - and these were quite dark times sooo, and once claimed to be a director of his company. So i thinks, i can check this and paid, as you had to do less than 20 years ago to check out his company accounts. Anyways she was fibbing about the director part but not about the cash flow. All i can say is, if you were looking for the pot of gold you'd choose to have a scaffolding company over being an influencial 80s pop band. Neither would you go to university or read books.
