Welcome to AccountingWEB.co.uk

Following on my appearance at the ICAEW's Sole Practitioners' Day last week, this week on AccountingWEB.co.uk is going to be all about sole practitioners, so keep an eye on the sole practitioners' tag page for more articles, tips and tools on this subject as the week progresses.

I've also been looking at transparency in the tax system - what does this mean and is it a good thing? Read my commentary and let us know what you think.

It's full steam ahead for VAT Online, so make sure you click here for full details of what it means for you.

It might be hard to believe, but the end of the year is already approaching, so to celebrate we've drawn up our Best of 2009 list. Click here to vote for your favourite articles, posts and blogs of the year. We'll reveal the results in December.

Kind regards,
Rebecca Benneyworth, Editor
