    Company secretary refusing to comply with request

    Sole trader, definition of "starting trading" and when to register

    Thanks DWS and no problem, all very clear on that point now. So basically assuming you missed all the deadlines for registering as a sole trader and you did work but were not paid. You would have to complete a self assesment to the effect of no profits made and inform HMRC of your mistake in...

    Sole trader, definition of "starting trading" and when to register

    Hi DWS, Thanks for your reply. Regarding your point about tax years, what would be the issue if it was split across tax years. For example if the work was performed in those months in 2021, but didnt invoice and get paid until the next tax year in 2022? Would that not still fall under the rule...
