    Quick yes/no question re VAT

    VAT ADVISE NEEDED

    Limited Company Turnover less than £100.00

    A CT600 is a good option but if you don't know what you're doing it could be dangerous. Get an accountant to look at it as he might have losses he can offset against tax in the future. It shouldn't be too expensive to get an accountant to do as the amount of transactions is very small.

    Setting up a Ltd Company and still working as a Sole Trader

    Altering order numbering?

    This is interesting. I use the old version of Magento and based on this I would not like to upgrade as I agree it is useful to know how many do not checkout. Have you made any progress finding an answer here?
