Areas I am currently working on.
CIS. Construction Industry Scheme. Client is a plasterer and a subcontractor. We have to register him with HMRC so that the contractor who pays him can deduct tax at 20% and not the full 30%.There will then be a tax return to fill in and a tax refund to claim.
Tax penalties. The current tax penalty regime can be very onerous. For instance if you fail to file your tax return on time and delay by over 12 months then you are looking at £1600 as a minimum in penalties, even if you don’t owe any tax.
Small retailer. Guiding a shop through their first year of trade. Balancing the wages to ensure that everything is processed correctly and the tax man paid. Guidance on when to register for VAT and should they use the flat rate scheme. Talking through pricing and gross margins. Ensuring as many of the set up costs are claimed for tax purposes as can be.
Debt advice. Sometimes it is just good to have someone to talk to. To discuss borrowings and how to balance the books. This work is mostly done without charging and is a small way to help other people.
Doctor’s tax. Not partnership returns but simply a professional man wanting to ensure that his tax affairs are up to date and that he is claiming all the reliefs to which he is entitled.
Webdesigner working from home. Making sure that we claim as much as we can for use of home as office. Calculating the travel costs to claim and general advice to help establish and grow a small business.
Mum worried about son’s business. A mother worried that her son buying and selling on ebay might lead to tax debts. Free advice explaining obligations and pointing a way forward.
Nurse thinking of becoming self employed. Free advice outlining the steps to take.
