Practical
tax guides
I
have written a series of guides for the small to medium sized
business and its advisors in an easy to follow style, with
examples and practical tips and advice in each area. They
are, where necessary accompanied by tax checklists, and accompanying
guidance notes.
The
guides cover the main tax matters that an entrepreneur, accountant
or advisor requires in dealing with companies and businesses.
Planning points and pitfalls are discussed with examples,
and practical advice given on problematical areas. My speciality
is answering the sort of questions that you can never normally
find answers to.
The
guides form a regularly updated database, which is being continually
expanded and I address those sort of niggling questions that
arise in practice and you can never quite find the answer.
For instance, "What can and can't I claim for
subsistence and why? My latest guide looks at the
variations for the self employed and employee.
The new section of guides continues this theme, considering
different expenses from the view point of the self-employed,
the employee and the director/shareholder, back issues cover
all the major planning points needed for advising sole traders,
partnerships and limited companies. They cover start-ups,
incorporations, optimising the trading structure, groups,
associates, retaining business taper relief and business property
relief, P11Ds, expenses and deductions and employment issues.

Unlike other guides, this one tells the full story.
Worried
about s 447 ITEPA 2003, and tax on dividends? Concerned about
profit extration and anti-avoidance?
My new two part guide provides a check list maximising
income from the perspective of the unincorporated and incorporated
business, and looks at anti-avoidance issues.
What
can I claim for "Use of home as office"?
HM Revenue and Customs took a leaf out of my book
(tee hee! ) and recently published guidance on what to claim
if you happen to be self-employed and work from home. Unfortunately,
their version only tells half the
tale, so I have finished the job and produced the definitive
guide.
I publish the only
comprehensive guide on this bizarre topic: "What
expenses can I claim when I work from home?
- this gives the full advice from the perspective of the
self-employed, the employee and the director/shareholder.
This guide is on its 6th re-write, I guarantee that this guide
alone will save any accountant hours of valuable research
time. The rest of my guides are not so bad either! Spare yourself
the pain of endlessly searching for information, and subscribe
to my guides!
