Hi
Just want someone to check, I'm just helping my dad do his tax comp and return.
He was employed more most of 2011/12 but was self employed for the last month of this tax yr (march)
I assume he takes his p60 with his earning for that tax ur and works out his profit for the one month. Can he claim capital allowance for just the 1 month and WDA on his capital allowances??
Anthony else h should think about??
Many thanks
Stuart
If it's a continuing self-employment, it might be more efficient to postpone claiming any capital allowances until there are greater profits. This may not matter very much if you don't think he'll enter a higher tax or N.I. bracket. If there are a number of assets, then you can consider disclaiming one or more of them. It looks like he's in continued employment alongside the trade, so it may be just a question of considering an applying for exception from N.I. contributions.
