Evening everyone. I am looking for clients and when I am talking to potential clients, some of them require payroll. I understand payroll and the principles, but have never done it. I use QBO and there is a payroll module on there. Can I use that to do payroll? or do I need a qualification? They are not big...

My client is currently a Ltd Company and he's teamed up with a sole trader on a long term contract. I was expecting them to form a new Ltd Company but I've now been informed they are discussing a partnership, as it will be better from a tax point of view. One thing I have deliberately avoided so far is doing...

Hi there I have recently become VAT registered. I invoiced for a job of £500 (no vat) to my client earlier this month that was excluding VAT. As I didn't have my VAT number until now. He now needs to pay me the additional VAT and would like me to invoice him just for this outstanding VAT amount (£100). What...

Hi, we have a subsidiary (we are also a sub) in Romania, if we raise an invoice to Romania, should we use the reverse charge category? or should we ignore VAT all together because we are in the same group? Many Thanks Stuart

Is there a way for me to register a client for self assessment through my agent log in on Hmrc? The only thing I can see is if they're self employed, but they're a director and I can't see an option for that. Thanks in advance

Just a heads up to those submitting CIS suffered claims. HMRC now send you a report of CIS deducted, by Contractor and month, if they disagree with your claim. Mine was ever so slightly out, £7500 claimed, £3100 on their system Fortunately it wasn't me that was wrong, but the biggest contractor was...

One of my clients has started contributing to a personal pension, via a Ltd Company. He pays £100 a month through payroll and Ltd Co pays £100 a month. I just want to check the best way of accounting for this. My thought is to credit expenses: pensions on the payroll journal then debit expenses: pensio...

Hi everyone, I was at an AE training event last night and was advised by the presenter that you are allowed to postpone employees from entering the pension more than once. The example given was that if a worker worked irregular hours and one month their hours peaked so that they became automatically en...

Hi, my friend wants to set up his own limited company. He wants to do two very different things - removal services and attend a garage as a car mechanic with his own stuff (i.e. car paints, some equipment).

I have just provided all of the usual information to one of my ex-client's new accountants ie last year tax return, capital allowances, accruals.

I have a client who has an employee who's been off work due to a bike accident.

Help!! Totally lost! We have just started buying from a company in Germany.

Hi, My client has registered for VAT as he is nearing the threshold. He spoke to HMRC who said he could go on the Flat rate scheme of 4%. How does this work? He is not going to increase his selling price of his product but absorb this. Am I right in thinking his price has to include 20% VAT but then he only pa...
