Hi, Are there any circumstances where someone who is self employed would not have to file a tax return? I have been told that someone who has been trading for years but never makes a profit does not send in a tax return because he has never been asked for one even though HMRC know that he is self employed. Is...

Hi If a director withdrew £10,000 from his company in January 2015 would I declare this on his 14/15 tax return or wait until his companies year end which is October this year ( first year trading) and declare it next year on his 15/16 tax return? Georgie

Hi Save me wasting a whole day on the phone to HMRC if an employee had a tax code of 0T M1 at April 5th, do I just give him the generic code of 1060L this year. The website is very confusing as I know I take them off of M1, but it states to bring the their code through to this year. Stupid question I know but I though...

Just a quick question, I think I am having a senior moment! We have a new employee who started at the beginning of the month, who has supplied his previous p45. As the payroll I do tomorrow will be month 1 of a new tax period, I do not need to enter previous figures into his records? I hope that makes sense!

Couple of questions please! 1. Does that mean my opening balance on my VAT nominal ledger should be -£289? 2. What nominal cod...

Halfway through the (company) year the business hit the VAT rate. A reclaim was made for prior years' purchases and repaid by HMRC. The company mainly exports, so a reclaim is usually due.
