Make sure you only pay what you HAVE to

Even though the Self-Assessment form is supposed to make it easy for you to complete your personal return yourself all those boxes can be daunting. When it comes to business tax returns, whether that’s corporation tax, VAT or the ins and outs of the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) all this paperwork can be a major headache and take over your life.

Helping to keep your business on track

Helping to keep your business on track!

When it comes to keeping your business numbers in order, it’s often an afterthought – until you run out of cash in the bank.  Even if your bank balance is in the black how much thought do you give to reaching specific financial targets each month?

As a small business it’s often difficult to put time aside to focus on this when you’re so busy running to keep all the balls in the air.  However, understanding what the numbers in your business are telling you can be an enormous help to growing a seriously profitable company.

Look at it as making money and keeping it, rather than scraping by or always surprised when you get big bills to pay.  Financial challenges don’t go away if you ignore them – they just get bigger and scarier!

With our help to focus on what numbers you need to know, what you need to watch and what you need to take action on, you’ll find it will all get a lot easier.  You’ll know what to do to stay on track to that profitable future you had in mind when you started out in business.

Don’t wait until things get really tough – talk to Jane on 07801 287 213 for help or contact us by email for further information.

Tax Tips Renting out your own car space- taxable or non taxable?

TAX TIPs

How many of you who have rented out your own car park space knew the consequences?

Did you know that renting out your own car space and receiving income from that source is deemed as taxable income, even if that means that by doing so you have to rent a space yourself.

Renting out your own car park space on your own driveway means you are responsible for declaring that income on your own personal self assessment tax return when you file it to  H M Revenue and Customs. The entries should be made on the Land & Property pages

Remember to consider that should you enter into this type of arrangement make sure you prepare a contract and include a break clause in case the situation changes.

Renting a Property

When you decide to rent out a property you have a responsibility to yourself and the tenant to have in place a tenancy agreement which sets out you the “land lord” and the tennant, stating the terms of the agreement.

When you declare your rental income on your personal self assessment tax return you are required by the rules of H M Revenue & Customs to declare the rent received as per the agreement and not just the rent received in the tax year. For further insight and information on this you are welcome to contact me.

Thirty years ago, I worked for H M Revenue & Customs, until the self assessment program was launched in 1995. At that time, I had acquired my training in self assessment just as the program went live to the public. I was head hunted by an accountant for his private practice.
In that, I set up a self assessment program from scratch, with 13years tax returns filed without penalties due to firm, whilst, I developed and maintained strong client relationships. Through out that time, I set up simple systems that worked, met the needs of the owner, HM Revenue & Customs, but more importantly, the needs of the clients.
