Can anyone answer thi for me? If a self employed person has a wife who has a carers allowance (may have a new name) does he have to declare it with his own income. Thanks
Each tax payer is evaluated independently even where married.
The wife receives the carers allowance for saving the state money by not having to supply someone to fulfil that role so such should be judged as their own income rather than shared.
The wife will have her own tax code against which the carers allowance will be set.
I think that there is some variance in relation to the Married couples allowance but that would only be applicable if either partner was born before 6th April 1935.
kind regards,
Shaun.
p.s. people, please feel free to disagree with me.

Shamus, you are saying right but if you want to get more info to visit VAT returns..
Why, do you need me to teach you something?... Like how to write in English perhaps?

the firms got ACCA accountants in it but it's only displaying the ICB logo?
just read the posters other two posts and the posts are only made to concur with others then direct you off somewhere else.
I'd started writing the banning report but I'll let it slide for now as at least it's a real UK business behind these posts.
Tell me about VAT returns.... Bah humbug!...

It was also put in such a way as though you were telling me something which I actually found quite insulting.
Such approach showed that you did not know your audience and were making sweeping assumptions about the knowledge base of those that you were talking to. (Which is why you got a sharp retort).
I am quite happy to be corrected and I'm always up for debate but your reply fell into neither category so I would ask you to please refrain from such approach in future replies.
If you would like to guide people to a genuinely helpful (and free) resource then please feel free to post a seperate thread.
If you need to advertise a paid service other than in genuine reply to a posted question then you need to clear that with the site owners who may charge for advertising.
This thread was about tax returns, not VAT returns so as indicated by Neil above the link was inappropriate.

But those are not help sheets, they are links to your site briefly stating what a tax return is and that you need to file one, then giving your telephone number to call for your services.
Would not better links been to relevant HMRC pages?
Your site is an advert for your services and there is nothing wrong with that but I don't think that you have appreciated your audience on this site.
The people here include many qualified practicing accountants and bookkeepers, we are not for the most part end users and when we do get end users on the site they are generally those looking for a specific piece of advice rather than a paid service.
The only way to gain work through this site is to answer peoples technical questions to show your level of expertise. When you have a good standing you may have people, including other site members, approach you knowing your knowledge base.
At the moment no advice has been offered. Only a link to your website stating what a tax return is and advertising your services
Don't expect the audience here to be easy to ply with half answers as there is a wide and varied knowledge base amongst the site readership which includes membership from all major accounting and bookkeeping bodies who all offer their advice freely in order to ensure that a support network is in place for the people in our profession.
I know that your practice has ACCA trained people and has the ICB logo on the site (I assume PQ ACCA's working under an ICB practicing certificate?) so I am sure that you have a wealth of knowledge that you would be able to share but you need to get your head around the idea that you are giving your time and advice completely freely for the benefit of the profession as a whole rather than your own practice.
If you are looking for an advertising platform for your business then this is not really the site for you.
If you have a genuine desire to help people just starting out in the profession and trying to establish themselves as small businesses then please feel free to post genuine advice that answers the posters question.
All answers must be given on the site for the benefit of all. You should not guide people off site unless such is backing up the information given on the site. For example, stating a tax treatment then guiding the reader to the HMRC page containing the supporting information / case law.
