Hi All
Just starting out, not a contractor but supplying IT services for quite a few companies. So not VAT registered, doubt I will get to the registration threshold. Sole trader at the moment, thinking of going limited. Need an accountant who I can approach "face to face" in Leeds to discuss these issues etc. (see other post).
Back to the question. Being prudent what is a good rule of thumb to put aside from each paid invoice to cover TAX etc. My bank opened a "savings" account for this purpose.
Seen other posts for 21% of each invoice before VAT, is this about right assuming my ongoing expenses will reduce my liability?
Think I need the advice of on accountant sooner than later![Smile](https://forums.contractoruk.com/core/images/smilies/smile.png)
