    Self Assesment Tax Bill

    I did not have access to view the online system myself, so have not been able to view anything online either. Just after posting this the code arrived in the post to allow me access to the online system. I have found a page which says: "You do not need to tell HMRC that you are deferring your...

    Self Assesment Tax Bill

    I use a accountant who does my VAT and Tax. He sent me a letter back in September telling me what my tax payments would be this year and that payment instructions should be issued on the due dates. I do not normally pay a bill until it arrives in the post or email. VAT payments are taken...

    Changing business direction

    It was not either of those, that I am familiar with. A customer uses Sage and has told me how expensive it now is. I think it began with an "A" the name, but was not something I had ever heard of before. Was hoping someone might mention something which triggered the name.

    Changing business direction

    I think the main things were two I mentioned in the reply above, and also whether I should become Ltd or stay as sole trader. I think I mentioned but I have been training up on web development for some time, and even done some work for one of my existing clients, where I learnt a lot. I think...

    Changing business direction

    I am offended by your reply as I am just looking for advice from those who have been there. I am not ready at the stage to start trying to sell anything yet if that's what you think? That was not my intention. See my other post, and you can see this post is not made up in anyway. Did it come...

    Changing business direction

    I am a sole trader who is VAT registered, although I have never earned anywhere near the threshold, as the customer base (education) was also VAT registered, so it made sense when reselling goods. Originally being a technician, I have always done everything including the main technician (only...

    Employment Costs

    I run a small company providing support to schools and businesses, but it has grown to the point where there is too much work for one person to handle. I have tried using contractors, the issue being getting a DBS check and training them on the systems is a expensive and time consuming process...

    Promotion for Business IT Support Company

    I have been self employed for 10 years now, and started my own company offering ICT support to primary schools. Rather than getting easier, things are getting more technical where they really need more support time, the schools have less money so they are reducing support time (and expecting the...

    30 Days or 60 Days for Invoice Payments

    I specify 21 days, as this means the payment is more likely to be paid within 30 days, but I need to know the law on late payment fees. At the moment the way I read it I cant start charging them now until the payment is over 60 days due.

    Checking a job applicant's right to work documents for Self Employed

    If you take on a Self Employed Contractor to do work for you, do you need to do this: www . gov. uk / check-job-applicant-right-to-work It is unclear as it seems to indicate you have to perform these checks when employing them, but makes no mention if they are on a Self Employed Contract if...

    Hello There!

    I have been self employed for about 12 years now since I was made redundant. I started off contracting for another company for two years and then decided to leave them and go completely solo, which was a scary thought at the time with not having any support backup. I run a niche business...

    Promotional Item and Design Companies and Design

    Please could anyone recommend any decent UK based promotional item and design companies? I am currently looking to get some "To Do" pad promotional items as a lumpy mail item. I have used 4imprint which seem to be the cheapest and have the largest range, in the past to get some deskpads made...
