Sleep-improving Tax Returns
For stressed sole traders
Your tax return looms like a school exam. You never know how much your tax bill will be and you worry whether you’ll have enough cash to cover it. Every year you vow to be more proactive but client work always gets in the way.
Now imagine you’re totally on top of your tax. You know exactly how much to save each month. And when your tax bill arrives, you feel smug that you can comfortably pay what you owe.
We’ll take care of your self-assessments and VAT returns. But we’ll do way more than the paperwork. We’ll tell you how much you need to put away each month so you know where you really stand.
Making Tax Digital (MTD)
HMRC have postponed ‘Making Tax Digital’ (also known as MTD) for self-assessments. But it will be coming in the future. The best thing you can do to prepare for the change is to make sure you have a separate bank account for your business finances. And consider an online bookkeeping app like Xero. When tax does become digital, you’ll be in a much better position to submit your returns.
“If you don’t have a business bank account, get one! It’ll make it much easier for you to track and monitor your business expenses properly.”
Joanna Darnley, Director
