I put 15 days terms on my invoices and then if they haven't paid after a month I send a statement. I now have a few that haven't paid despite receiving a statement so after another week I have sent an email asking for the money. No luck in one case. I'm hacked off because this one in particular is a big invo...

Hi all, One of my clients has purchased items for the business from her own money and I usually post them to a supplier account and then repay her as a normal supplier.

Hi I have 2 clients who are in a partnership together. The partnership started half way through the tax year. One of the partners did not work for the first part of the year and the other was self-employed and a sole trader for the first part of the year. I think I have to file 2 standard SATR's each with par...

Sorry girls and guys, Just to be sure on this form where it says income amount for period, they do mean the total income figure, i.e. just income. EG Income 20,000, expenses 5,000, therefore it would be correct to declare 20,000 as the income amount as per tax return and accounts. Many thanks Lor
