When do I tell HMRC?
Hi,
Just had my reg-reg visit so am only waiting for my certificate before I can get started.
But when should I tell HMRC that I am running a business from?
Do I tell them from when my certificate arrives? That's when my business will technically open
Or when I start looking after my first child?
Thanks xx

Good morning.
Congratulations and how exciting.
I don't know when you should tell them! I suggest giving them a call and asking.
Good luck with your future adventures

Congratulations and welcome to childminding!! ![Clapping](https://www.childmindinghelp.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/clapping.gif)
You need to inform HMRC as soon as you are registered - are you getting a grant? You will need to record that as income...
Are you spending money on resources and setting up? Don't forget to record it as expenses...

Thanks Sarah. I figured it was safer to register straight away rather than wait. Am I right in thinking we can't claim back the cost of our registration items: HBCA, first aid, Ofsted, DBS? I can't recall where I read it so it might have been a dream I had lol.

You can't claim the actual cost of these back, but you can put them in your expenses in your accounts, so you won't pay tax on them. X

Thanks again loocyloo, that may have been what I meant but who knows.
