I use Excel and an accountant who saves more than he costs me.

I won't be saving anything as a second job is taxed higher and I have to pay two lots of NI.

Makes no difference - a decent accountant will save you loads.

Good job you've roped in an accountant then

You don't pay tax twice, you pay tax on your total earnings. You should only be paying Class II NICs on your part-time earnings unless you wish to make voluntary additional payments - works out at about £10 a month taken over the year.

Do I submit a receipt or a VAT invoice?

Vonage is giving me the option - I'm not sure what to choose?

Also, how can I get all my receipts from play.com? Are the confirmation emails enough proof?

Ta.

Nonesense. Also if you are expecting to make less than £5k profit get a class II small earnings exemption form submitted so you are not paying NI.

Pay for you online music using your business account. Each purchase will show on your business bank statement as play. This is sufficient as evidence for your accounts as long as you file all of your statements in an organised manner. Being organised saves money. Question - Will the thing I have just bought be used for my business. Yes I do need to wear trainers to load in and out of venues so yes they are put to busines use - receipt on file. Is it cold during December when getting kit into a venue - yes it is and I do need a good warm down gilet to stop me freezing - receipt into the file.

I have an accountant he charges me £150.00 to do my books and submit the tax return and that.

Who's that then John? I'm currently looking for a good accountant. You could PM me the name and address if you would be so kind?

I have recently had an email from my accountant saying he is retiring. A search for another locally and I found one 2m away at £150 which is far less than the £280 I was paying.
I am in Norfolk near Norwich and if anyone needs details of this accountant pm me.

IMO a good account is worth every penny.

Why do some DJs charge £60 and others £500.

And I recommended a very good accountant to you ages ago!
