I am going to contact them, to make sure it wont affect my AAT practice licence, where offering a tax service is concerned. Shame you are in Bristol.. A study partner might have made it seem a bit more appealing!I'd also just like to have the books as a back up anyway, because if they are up to date, they are perfect for learning how to approach a matter that isn't on the everyday agenda! They refresh my memory much quicker than trying to read HMRC's website! 53719854-53750605 Sat, 18 May 2013 13:53:12 GMT http://book-keepers.org.uk/index.spark?aBID=106474&p=3&topicID=53712890 thank you for your replies 53712890-53750479 Sat, 18 May 2013 13:39:00 GMT http://book-keepers.org.uk/index.spark?aBID=106474&p=3&topicID=53749079 thank you for your replies 53749079-53750476 Sat, 18 May 2013 13:38:34 GMT http://book-keepers.org.uk/index.spark?aBID=106474&p=3&topicID=53742963 Just wanted to mention this software to anyone using basic tools and needing payslips -http://www.wieser-software.com/payslips/Its a great piece of kit for the price, and the owner is super supportive.   53742963-53742963 Fri, 17 May 2013 21:46:24 GMT http://book-keepers.org.uk/index.spark?aBID=106474&p=3&topicID=53734416 You can claim any capital allowances for this year, next year at 18%Anything purchased next year can be treated as normal 53734416-53740248 Fri, 17 May 2013 18:17:10 GMT http://book-keepers.org.uk/index.spark?aBID=106474&p=3&topicID=53734920 Hi, I've recently created a number of Android apps that are available through the Google Play market place. Some are free with Ads displayed in them whilst others are available for a small fee. My question is what tax liability do I have for the income I receive on these? I'm currently in full time employment and these apps are purely a hobby thing making currently around £60 a month so not a fortune. Firstly do I need to pay tax on this income and if so should I be registering this as a business or just declaring this on a self assessment? Thanks in advance and apologies if this is not the place for me to ask this. Regards, Leighton. 53734920-53734920 Fri, 17 May 2013 10:15:06 GMT http://book-keepers.org.uk/index.spark?aBID=106474&p=3&topicID=53691753 Can I mention the client who just received a new notice of coding for 2013-14 which has been forwarded to me with the following:1. Wrong NI Number2. Personal allowance for someone over 76 on 5/4/14 (the client is has a few years to go before getting to retirement age)Fortunately she has recently unofficially stopped working for this employer (no p45) as she is now completely self-employed. 53691753-53722311 Thu, 16 May 2013 13:39:35 GMT http://book-keepers.org.uk/index.spark?aBID=106474&p=3&topicID=53711063 Hi Just wondering if anyone on here has any experience with MA claims for self employed? I started up in business last September & have been pretty quite (was expected as I know it takes time!), so I didn't think I would be eligible to any Mat allowance, however, my midwife suggested looking into it as you don't need to earn much, to get something. I have read DWP site & my understanding is that you have to be self employed for 26 weeks in 66 weeks up to due date (9 Aug), which I have been, it says it doesn't matter how much you earn. It doesn't really say whether it has to be paid work ie for a client or unpaid work towards business ie marketing etc MA threshold is £30 per week, averaged over 13 weeks, which do not need to be consecutive & can pick & choose the weeks which you have earned the most. My question is, I don't have regular jobs ie which pay monthly, but I've been doing a few tax returns, some will only take a day, some a couple of weeks, but I charge per job, not per hour, so do I class my income in week of invoiced? Also, I do my other half's business bookkeeping/tax return for his business. His bookkeeping is quarterly invoiced & a separate one for the return. Are there any rules about doing work for partners? I presume I will have to take off any expenses from the earnings ie 1/52th of insurance/licence fee/software fees? I have also read somewhere that if you pay your NI class 2 in full you are deemed to have earned the full amount (even if you haven't actually) & are eligible for the full MA?Has anyone got any experience with this? 53711063-53711063 Wed, 15 May 2013 17:26:51 GMT http://book-keepers.org.uk/index.spark?aBID=106474&p=3&topicID=53596365 A more general warning - if you have one business on cash accounting and the other on conventional accounting, and your cross-company charges provide a cashflow benefit at the expense of HMRC, they have power to prevent you using cash accounting.I am sure you wouldn't intentionally do that, but do make a mental note. 53596365-53699691 Tue, 14 May 2013 20:02:00 GMT http://book-keepers.org.uk/index.spark?aBID=106474&p=3&topicID=53561934 the guard dog is awesome :) 53561934-53693293 Tue, 14 May 2013 12:44:44 GMT
