Awful advice... truly awful..... It does explain your approach to your companies finances though.Originally posted by lithium147 View PostI would try to do without an accountant until april next year.
Your gonna get taxed highly if you take money out before then. So just leave it there.
You can do the following quite easily on your own:
- incorporate limited company (£15 - companies house)
- register for VAT + FRS (free - online.hmrc)
You dont need to register for PAYE or CT for a while.
So if you are paying £100 a month for accountant, you could save yourself perhaps £400 (4 months).
You can learn about expenses and invoices on sites like this.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!
