    Lost petrol receipts

    Just what I wanted to hear, thanks! Incidentally I highlight my bank statements with notes too, same with PayPal statements! It just feels like the 'right' thing to do ;-) Many thanks, Joe

    Lost petrol receipts

    I thought it as 45p ;-) Yes I almost always pay for fuel by debit card! Mixed on personal and business accounts though so could confuse! I am going to be able to keep my finances separate within about 4 weeks but it's making it a bookkeeping headache at the moment! I was hoping as I...

    Lost petrol receipts

    Thanks for the link. I believe that is for employees of businesses (PAYE). I have started trading mid April this year, as a sole trader so I think it would be 45p now. Just wondering if they will make an exception for 3 provable journeys without receipts or if I should just forget about...

    Lost petrol receipts

    Hi, I lost all my petrol receipts from my previous car as they were all stored in the ashtray for safe keeping. I made a couple of long distance journeys including to Leeds for an arms fair, plus Birmingham and Harrogate for face to face deals. These are provable journeys as I have...

    Sole trader, some book keeping questions. Buying and selling.

    Thank you very much indeed! I'm much more clued up now and I was really making work for myself the amount of accounts I was keeping! Just one final question, I promise. End the end of the year what exactly do I do with stock remaining, do I total the approximate value of everything...

    If anybody could clarify the points in red above I would be most grateful. I'm finding it difficult to grasp the capital introduced and if I calculate it as a profit, cost to the business etc. Many thanks, Joe

    Sole trader, some book keeping questions. Buying and selling.

    Thanks for the reply! Many thanks again indeed, I'm already much more in the know than this morning, and it shows I have been making excessive records that would have been extreamly time consuming as I grow! Regards, Joe

    Sole trader, some book keeping questions. Buying and selling.

    Thanks for the reply. Just for clarity, I don't need to link individual costs to each individual sale? Shall I just do a monthly total of costs inc purchase and sales? If anybody can address the rest of the points I would be most great full. Many thanks again, Joe

    Sole trader, some book keeping questions. Buying and selling.

    One more point, here is how I've been keeping my records but it is long winded as I have blanks in pages until it sells and I have to keep going back and with lots of tranactions this will be very confusing: 1) 01/05/12 Medal. Bought £50 sold 15/05/12 £100 Costs £11 eBay £4 PayPal. Posted...
