Hi, My client is a small sole trader. He has a desktop PC for home use but has recently been given a laptop which he intends to use for business use only. Its 2 years old and he had to pay a £40 repair bill on it when he got it. I was going to introduce the laptop as an asset with net book value of £100 so the entr...

Hi, I prepare a monthly profit and loss for a small business (sole trader). The owner banks some cash into their personal bank account and I only see cash going into the business bank account - how should I account for this? Thanks

Hi, could someone confirm for me that claiming for lunch when your a self employed window cleaner is not an allowable expense. Basically he works from home, but his argument is that he is away from home. Thank you

I have just taken on a new client. Up until this month they produced 2 magazines and they were invoiced for the printing and all other costs together, so everything went on Sage in one big lump. They have just launched a new magazine so would like me to split the managment accounts into separate magazi...

Hi, got a client asking how much of the purchase price of his car can be used against business? Says business use is main reason for having it, though it only for delivery of his goods. Also calculations percentage of tax he will pay? Any advice appreciated!

On a few occassions one of our staff members has paid cash for a bill and this has then been paid back over to him via his wages as 'expenses '- the original invoice has then been handed over to me to process through petty cash - is this way of dealing with staff expenses ok or should it dealt with differen...

Thankyou Helen - I really appreciate that - given that he did pay out of his own personal money - and was later reimbursed through his wages as expenses - should the invoice not be posted through the accounts at all then? or should there be a journal posted to take the expenses out of the wages figures and i...

My husband is a sole trader and is currently having to seek advice and support from a solicitor due to a recent customer of his. As we all know solicitors charge nearly £200 an hour. As this cost is being incurred on behalf of the business can this be claimed as a business expense? Thanks!

Thank you Liz for replying to my query - the staff memeber does actually pay cash for the invoices - and then sends the invoices through to us - this was reimbursed through his wages as 'expenses' - so is it ok to then put the invoice through our accounts as though it has been paid through our petty cash - or d...

Quick question is there VAT on skip hire. There is nothing on the invoice stating this but the company is registered for VAT.

I have an invoice which looks like the ones you can buy in a book. It has the date on, says lunch and drinks and the amount but thats it. I can't see anywhere in the bank that it has been paid by card so would I include this as cash or leave it out? There is no company details or name on it. Thanks.

I have been doing some digging and it seems that HMRCs view is that iPhones, Blackberrys and PDA's are classed as computers and not phones and may casue a P11d. This seems a little unfair as most clients use them 95% of the time as phones. Do HMRC actually enforce this in practice or is it just their law? Be...

Evening all, Just a quick question regarding clients who claim mileage instead of all costs for their cars. I understand that they can claim 45p a mile for the 1st 10,000 miles and then 25p a mile thereafter. What I am wondering is if a client uses their home as an office can they still claim for the miles u...
