just finished going through my books before I past them to my accountant for 16/17 (not that I dont trust him!
this was my 1st full year as self employed (a few months started as subbying but then the rest full time for my buisness)
I invoiced around 72.5k with 42k expenses (pretty high as 1st year tool happy etc)
-not bad not great i know...
I have emailed my accountant these questions but would like opinions from people actually previously in/are in my boots (steel toe ones)
I target/ and succesfully do- try work for builders (extentions/refurb/rewires etc
do these companies are vat registered...
so am I correct in saying- no brainer to go vat registered (makes no difference to my vat registered builder clients- but I can claim back vat on expenses/materials)
-but obviously have to be 20% more expensive to any of my clients that are not vat
correct?
2nd question- going Limited- my thinking behind it- looks more professional plus the added secuirty- should I be thinking anything else
cheers guys/gurls
