Q: Should I be self-employed or trade through a Limited company?
A: Generally speaking once your profit is more than £20,000 then you will be better off trading through a limited company.
Q: Do I need to register for VAT?
A: Once your turnover reaches a threshold then you are required to register, for 2014/15 the threshold is £81,000. You can voluntarily register which in some circumstances is more beneficial.
Q: Should I put my car through my business?
A: Whilst it is normally more tax efficient to own the car privately and claim HM Revenue & Customs approved mileage rate in certain circumstances it is more tax efficient to have the car within the business. Based on your needs I can guide you through the pros and cons of each option and even recommend cars which would be tax efficient.
Q: How long do I need to keep my records for?
