ncma accounts books!

[Scion]

I just started working in january, as a member of NCMA i bought the 'toolkit' which has the accounts book inside.

Do i need to use the NCMA accounts book for jan-mar 09 or can i just use photo copied sheets instead?

Seems a waste to 'have' to use an expensive accounts book for just 3 months!

Am i legally bound as an NCMA member to have to use the NCMA accounts book?

mine is set up similar to ncam book but on excell so I can add to it it calculates for me as Hubby coded it all then I print it out at the end of the month.

I bought the accounts book....

My accountant said its very vague, she wanted a more in depth detailed view of my expenditure. So i dont use it....I will use it as a general record but ive created a spreadsheet that calculates each week and then month etc. I will use the payments received bit in the back for payments in only.

Just hope either way my year end tax bill will be small

You dont have to use it at all. I do all mine on a spreadsheet- much easier

I have used the Ncma one for years now. My accountant is fine with it I don't know why it is 'vague'.

I have earned over the agreed limit for the short returns for the last three years now and I still use the NCMA book and my parents always sign their page in the back each month confirming their payments.

I detail everything I buy and claim, the only difference is that I have to have a reciept for everything I have bought. If I have a heavy month as it were I photocopy and extra page.

Yes of course you can photocopy pages for Jan to 6th April. Very sensible.

I would have thought that NCMA would have copyright on these. Be careful.

I would check with them to see first.
