    Pre-registration VAT

    Thanks John and Les. Would you say that this is the same for the engine and other goods that are still in use at the registration date as well as the taxi purchase themselves. In my mind, if HMRC implemented the view that has been suggested then surely any services, which pretty much always go...

    Pre-registration VAT

    Thanks UKCA, your exactly right in that it was the VAT notices and the VAT guide from which the decision to include the whole amount has been determined but it is regulation 111 that the HMRC officer is now referring. Problem is that we have now been asked to revisit the return to ensure that...

    Thanks again Elaine. Are these courses more for clients that are also contractors rather than purely subcontractors. These two particular tradesmen subcontract for one company but do not sub that work out themselves, basically they are labourers as and when required. Will certainly have a...

    Starting Practice

    To be honest i am siding with the sole trader initially, i will need to run the figures based on forecast but my gut feel is this route. As you say Elaine, the limited liability that incorporation would bring is the main thing that has been concerning me with regards to sole trader but...

    I will certainly look into the revision course option and hopefully this together with my current knowledge will allow me to offer the services that i propose to potential clients, thank you. I have seen that there is a thread in relation to the structure of the practice but out of experience...

    No worries, missed the bit that said that this "has been achieved more in industry, especially in current role" but hey thats not a problem. The mistakes i mention are totally in relation to the way the business is going to be set up and run, obviously this would not in any way compromise the...
