Hi.
I have small problem with my invoices.
I'm a self employed young IT expert but i dont know nothing about accounting.
Every timeI've made my service I was making invoice to my customer.
Before invoices were without no. but last few months I have changed design of my invoices. I have new software - Sage and Ive start doing invoices from Invoice no1 . My friend said that I will have problem with my tax's and self assessment because it looks like Ive started services from my
invoice no1 witch is few months ago.

I made about 30 envinces with date before I've started invoice no 1. and now I'm on number 70 so its not easy to go back to all customers with new invoice and apologies.

Will it be OK to continue with sage or I have to make some note.

Please. I need some advices before I will go further.

Best regards
Krystian P.

Just rename the first 30 invoices from A1-A30 for you records. You dont have to send a new invoices to your customers. Alternatively do Invoice 71 on Sage as a total of your 30 invoices that are not on there.

As long as you pay the correct amount to IR you won't have a problem.

I presume you are not VAT registered.

Don't worry about it.
Make a note on your records that your invoice numbering system changed on such-and-such a date, make sure all your sales are declared in your accounts/ tax return and you'll be fine.

If you want to include the first invoices in Sage, in order to bring all your records together, don't use the Invoicing module, use Customers/Invoices and enter them as a batch.

Sage Invoicing will only do numbers so that's fine, enter the old ones in the batch as A1, A2 etc or whatever instead of 1,2, etc, and make a note on your files, and it will be fine.
