Hi, I just wanted to clear something up for my own piece of mind - my client works from home and I have had a few receipts handed to me such as Flymo grasscutter/hoover/kettles etc. It could be said that these items are needed for the business, but can I claim the Vat back on them? (I know they are predomina...

Hi Everyone Another question about my quirky little restaurant. When I come to balance off petty cash at the end of the month, there is invariably a sum of money missing that is unaccounted for. Sometimes it's as little as £10, sometimes - rather worryingly - its as much as £200. Despite my best detecti...

HI Everyone, I am setting up a new client in QB and they pay themselves some dividends, all suggested by the Accountant. In the past on older clients I have just posted it to DLA account, but this one said there has to be a separate account in QB under the equity section in COA. They are a Ltd company in thei...

Does anybody know if their is a calculator available either online or in excel which will calculate whether a client is better getting a company car and fuel against claiming mileage at 45p and 25p.

Is it the weather or the fact we have had two bank holidays this week, I am finding it so difficult to concentrate on work today? Everything I attempt seems to end in a mess. Bring on retirement (maybe in another 20 years if I am lucky).

New to bookkeeping and just wondering if there's a standard rate a bookkeeper uses for depreciating plant and machinery? I've seen a few examples where 25% is used and others where 15% is used. Are there any guidelines or is it down to personal preference? Thanks and great forum by the way! Clyde

Hi Everyone I know I'm really needy at present and am trespassing on everyone's good will for which I apologise profusely. I'm still unsure how to process the takings for the restaurant. I've drawn up a spreadsheet showing my best guess - with comments. I know it's a lot to ask but if someone wouldn't...

Hi Could anyone tell me the most tax efficient amount to pay the director of a company if the directors tax code is 810L. I assumed it was £675 so that the free allowance of £8105 was utilised in full but I have been told this week that it should be £624. Can anyone confirm this please? Many thanks

Hi, just got myself slightly confused. I have just written off a bad debt in sage using the wizard which is fine. My concern is that I need to get the VAT relief. Do I do this when finalising the VAT on the adjustment section or do I do a journal and if the later which nominal? Roz

Hi The owner/director of the restaurant where I work takes a lot of money for personal use. It is a limited company and so the concept of drawings - as far as I am aware - doesn't exist. She takes both cash and uses the company debit card. I've pointed out she should take these amounts as wages but she's not p...

I am a bit confused by assets - there was a discussion at work yesterday about whether something was an asset or not. I'm quite new so I just listened. The gist of the conversation was that maybe the usual, if a item is over £ 100 it should be an asset, should really be increased as they have been using this a...
