Hi,
I am hoping someone may be able to give me some advice regarding tax and self assessment - I am new so please bear with!!
If I begin childminding say in March 2015, assume I will have to submit self assessment in April for any income that month? Even though obviously will be below tax threshold but may have to pay NI class 2 on this?
Also, my start up costs (which are quite a lot!) will then go onto tax return for this year and obviously make a huge loss!
Just wondering if this is correct? Would it therefore be easier for me to wait and aim to start childminding in April 2015, save having to do a self assessment this April for just one months income? My start up costs will then properly go into my 'first year'.
Also, should I keep my start up costs separate to my first year accounts. I am intending to use the Happy Toddlers template for accounts (which is fab by the way!). So would I just need to add my start up costs into that first month, i.e. April 2015?
Sorry....I hope these are not totally stupid questions! Appreciate any advice!
