    Self employed vs. LTD

    The formulas in the Company column are not correct - it looks like you've added the dividend tax rather than deduct it..

    Dilemma: Declaring gross income or net income with cash basis method

    In Xero, for example, you can categorise a bank receipt with more than one income or expense category. So a £75 receipt might be categorised as £100 sale, -£25 commission.

    Avoiding Omissions of Sales Invoices

    The more analysis that one does, the more likely one is to pick up errors such as a failure to invoice for a service. So if you allocate expenses to individual categories rather than broader ones and do the same for invoices, one might see the profit being made on each area of business or on...

    Reclaiming business start up costs

    Capital depreciation and claiming tax relief back in buying Tesla outright through business

    As stated above, people need to remember that 100% first year allowance doesn't save any tax at all - it simply moves it into year 1.

    Do you have an opinion on which the correct interest rates would be @Rawlinson Pryde ?

    Savings accounts for Ltd company?

    Oh, it looked to me as those that category which includes the expression "early payments of Corporation Tax not due by instalments" would cover the situation under discussion which is payments of CT being made in advance? Maybe @Rawlinson Pryde have looked at this more?
