INSTRUCTIONS

See TERMS. The figures quoted as examples all assume that you are writing your books up using our files on a spreadsheet such as Excel.

The first visit is entirely free of charge for up to 1 hour of consultation time with no obligation but if you have a specific subject that you require advice on, this will be charged at standard rates. See the terms link on the left. As part of the initial service, once instructed, David will set up your computer to keep your book-keeping records in Excel ( or Works or Star Office ). You will need to purchase the software and he will install his files free of charge.  A free follow up visit is made to check that everything is ok.  At the end of the year you supply  a copy of the excel files, bank statements and invoices and David then completes your accounts.  Accounts can be prepared from written records but this is more expensive to cover the extra time involved. 

At the same time David can assist you in setting up internet banking totally free of charge.

If you are a pensioner with income from pensions, taxed interest and dividends, he will call on you and complete your return and submit it to the Revenue over the internet for an all inclusive fee of £75.

We can keep your books on our computer system, calculate your payroll services or complete your VAT return, set you up with a web site and email address(es) and help with management accounts and completing those forms which are "thrown" at businesses.  All this can be tailored into a package especially for you.

My Associates can keep your VAT records, payroll and book-keeping for you.

VAT returns from £180 per quarter.

Payroll from £20 per month.

HMRC has announced an extension of its Business Records Checks programme

Business Records Checks involve checks on the adequacy of small and medium-sized enterprises’ records. A pilot found that around 44 per cent of businesses have problems with record keeping, while approximately 12 per cent have seriously inadequate records. HMRC will now extend this activity from mid-September to cover key areas across the UK.   You could face a heavy fine up to £3,000

HMRC has announced that five ‘ghost’ plumbers have been arrested and a further 600 are under civil investigation for failing to pay the right amount of tax.

The arrests and investigations follow a campaign targeting plumbers, the Plumbers Tax Safe Plan (PTSP), which invited them to come forward voluntarily and put their tax affairs in order.

John Pointing, assistant director at HMRC Criminal Investigation, said the raids and arrests of ‘ghosts’ - people who have not declared income from the work they do - are the culmination of months of work by HMRC.

“We provided a chance for those we have arrested, and the 600 we are investigating, to come forward voluntarily and put things right” said Pointing. “These arrests send a clear message that HMRC will take action against those who choose not to come forward and pay the tax they owe” he added.

This is the start of co-ordinated action and more raids are expected to take place over the coming weeks across the UK, including Yorkshire, Kent, Cambridgeshire, Tyne & Wear, Midlands and South Wales.

Mike Wells, director at HMRC Risk & Intelligence Service, added: “These arrests are just the start. HMRC is considering hundreds of further cases for criminal investigation in the plumbing and medical professions. Some people may have thought we were bluffing when we said we have information that we will use to prosecute tax evasion.”

Gary Ashford, who represents the CIOT on the Compliance Reform Forum, also noted that the raids are further evidence that HMRC is entering a new phase with these disclosure campaigns. “They have had limited success with the numbers coming forward in the recent medical and plumbers disclosure opportunities, so they are getting tough with those who didn’t register or disclose” he said.

“People should not underestimate the amount of data that HMRC is holding. What we are now seeing is HMRC starting to use that information. The net is tightening on those who break the law” Ashford added.

Under the PTSP scheme plumbers, gas fitters, heating engineers and members of associated trades who owe tax that they had not declared faced a penalty rate of 10%, with a maximum of 20% if they disclosed in full.

While the guarantee of terms within the PTSP are no longer on offer (the deadline was 31 May), HMRC has left the PTSP disclosure route open for those in the plumbing industry who have unpaid tax to disclose but who have still not come forward.

They have until 31 August to arrange for payment.

A campaign targeting VAT cheats was also recently launched and further HMRC campaigns targeting private tutors and e-marketplaces will start during the next year.

Plumbers looking to come forward should telephone 0845 600 4507 or visit the HMRC website.
