buying resourses now

[Sarah555]

Hi everyone i need some advice! :blush:
I am in the process of registering as a child minder and i have my unit 1 of DHC course starting at the end of June. I have not as yet filled in my Ofsted forms as i am waiting for the planning to go through on our playroom which should be at the end of next month, anyway what i wanted to know is if i start buying materials now ie story sacks, books and toys etc can i keep the recieps and claim it back through tax, does it matter when you buy it or do you have to claim it back within a certain time frame or have to be registered before you can buy things and claim back tax on them
I just want to start getting a bit more organised with what i need :panic:

All you need to do is save receipts (if over £10) and bundle it all together under "start up costs" so when you do start you can then just include all these together under one heading separate from your day to day costs.

Yeah definatly - like singlewiththree says, just keep all your receipts & when you first come to do your accounts, list them all as start up costs :)

I agree - although you don't need receipts for items under £10 (unless you buy several items at the same time that total more than £10) it's best to keep them, at least then you'll remember exactly what you've spent
