  2. Aye. Filings to CH are only a few quid and covered in their fee, anyone who can use a web browser can file a return, if they have one. It depends on the scope of operations I suppose. I occasionally have people working with me on a sub contracting/consultancy basis. Last year I paid just shy of £600.00 in accountancy fees. When I was just one man banding it, I paid £350 a year in accountancy fees. The thing with quickbooks etc is they're very generic. They'll put purchases into categories like fuel/stationary/tools etc. What they don't do is understand how the breakdown of allowances pertains to your individual sector and personal situation - that bit makes all the difference and is usually worth more than the money you'll pay an accountant. Giving your accountant a quickbooks etc. file will make their lives easier as the 'bookkeeping' element of the job is already done.
  3. Aye mate, get a good accountant. They're worth their weight in gold and understand the whole VAT process. When I was sole trader I paid about a quid a day for one, now as Ltd company I pay about 5-600 a year. There are significant benefits to going VAT registered. Not least that you can probably claim VAT back on things you've bought over the last three or so years before registering. Using things like quickbooks (take photos of receipts and send invoices etc through it) is a good idea in conjunction with a good accountant. They can sort the wheat from the chaff. I can recommend one if you like.

    Little Johnny was sitting on park bench smoking one of his Mam's tabs, when this old gadge came and sat next to him. Old gadge points at the tab and says' Those things will kill you before your time.' Little Johnny says' My grandad lived to be ninety.' Old gadge says' Did he smoke?' Little Johnny says' Nah, he minded his own f'ing business!'

    A frog walks into the bank and sits down with an advisor. Advisor says hey nice to meet you. My name is Paddy Whack and I’ll be discussing your loan inquiry today. The Frog says cool, my name is Kermit, nice to meet you. Advisory grins and say’s you’re not the THEE Kermit are you. Frog says no haha but my dad is Mick Jagger. What?? The advisor says, no way. Frog says yeah Mick had an ongoing affair with a frog and I’m their offspring. After the shock the advisor asks about the frogs loan request. So what is it for he asks. The frog says I’m wanting to upgrade my Lilypad. Advisor asks well do you have any collateral? Frog reaches into his pocket and pulls out tiny pink elephant made out of marble. Advisor looks confused and say wait there I’m going to need to speak to my manager. Advisor goes out back and speaks to his manager and holds out the pink elephant and ask hey boss what’s this? The boss says it’s a nick knack paddy whack, give the frog a loan. His old man’s a rolling stone.
  7. Tier 3 as of next week, which makes little sense as we were in tier 2 before a month of lockdown. To me this suggests that they're either carping it about hospital capacity, partial lockdowns don't work or they really don't have a clue. Bring in UBI, cap private landlord rents. Close schools. Open pubs. Never caught nits in a pub.
  8. My PC reckons I've got two garages.

  13. Personally I couldn't care either way. I'm just bored on a Saturday night. I think she's a proper rotter though.
  14. What sort of damage do you reckon she has on Bozo?
  15. Should they sack her for breaching ministerial code of conduct?
  16. So do you reckon they should sack Patel for swearing at a bunch of suits? It doesn't seem like she's achieved anything by it.
  17. "The Nazi elements of the Labour Party" - lol. You've been on the Ickeaid again haven't you.
  18. I Yet, Womble Starmer has purged the labour party of its anti-semitism. Boris seems to be still embracing a culture of intolerance by virtue of keeping Patel in her cabinet position. Call that out.
  19. Noted.
  20. What about her being hoyed out of some trashy club for conspiring with the Israelies? Did you like that bit of her career?
  21. I've said this before, but you appear to be hard of thinking. I liked Corbyn, I thought he was honest, but I'm far from an 'ardent labour supporter'.
