Yes, this is clients ownly property in her own right. However, she does have another property which is jointly let with her husband.
Can the interest and repairs that are incurred now the property is no longer rented be offset against the profits that have accrued so far in the tax year though? Property is being sold but this could take a few months to go through.
Am considering upgrading my phone but wondered about the tax position. If I get the phone through my ltd company would I be caught for bik as hmrc do not view this as a simple phone.
What do others do? Ignore for bik on the basis that personal use is minimal?
spread initial fees over a shorter period If the period end is close or already passed I spread initial fees over a shorter period, usually up to when I expect to complete the work. Then when after that the next years fees are divided by 12 to arrive at the new monthly payment.
Thanks for your comment David. I have already emailed Martin Pooley and he did not think any packages coped very well with TOMS. Looks as though most businesses have to do their returns manually mainly because of the need to use departure dates.
we use Outlook We use the task function on Outlook. When we send out a letter or mail we set up a task on outlook with a reminder set for a few days foward. When the reminder appears you can, if no reply has been received, record comments (e.g. sent follow up letter or phoned) until the action is complete.
How have I been calculating VAT turnover. Thanks David. I have been using the profit margin to calculate turnover after some great help from a TOMS expert at Bedford VAT Office.

Presumably this would not be a PILON if the wife had received correct notice of her redundancy?
but what about the tax
