I went to see a potential client on Saturday who has a hair & beauty salon. She has been running it for about a year and, I know this sounds incredible, but she did not realise you have to keep any records of income/expenditure. She did tell HMRC and has been paying class 2 nics, but some one told her sh...

For many years I thought it was seven years (this is what my grandfather told me). Then I'm sure I read with VAT it was six years. PAYE says the P11s must be kept for at least three years (or longer if asked to). It was asked on another forum but hasn't been answered yet. I'm sure I even once read a bizarre repl...

Conventional wisdom has it that a .com web address gives more clout to a business web presence. On the other hand .co.uk tells people you're in the right country (and is also a little bit cheaper). Does anyone have as bit more certainty about which to opt for, given a choice? Cheers Neil

Hi all, After lots of searching around I have come up with zero advice on how to handle vouchers that some time ago we gave out as part of an advertising campaign for a new company.

It's all very easy when you are given all the figures on...
