Business in a Box

Imagine being able to run your business with little-to-no effort on your part. That's the dream right?

If you're a plumbing and heating business owner, there's a good chance you're spending more time working than you want to. In fact, UK small business owners work over 2000 hours of overtime per year (source XLN.co.uk). Not what you had in mind when you started out I’m sure.

When you're constantly feeling overwhelmed and overworked, it can start to take a toll on your health and wellbeing. And it's not just your own health that suffers - being overworked can also have a negative impact on those around you, including your family, friends, and co-workers.

But what can you do about it?

Starting and running a successful plumbing and heating business takes more than just having the right skills.

When it comes to running a plumbing and heating business, the more organised you are, the smoother things will run. Imagine how much more productive you would be without the worry of running your business all by yourself. You could take care of errands, spend quality time with family and friends or just enjoy life's little moments.

In order for any business to be successful, it is crucial to have well-written systems in place that can help ensure the smooth and efficient operation of all your processes. For a plumbing and heating business, this means having systems that allow you to access your key resources at a moment's notice. By streamlining processes and ensuring that all of your employees have access to the tools and information they need, you can significantly boost productivity and efficiency. In addition, having systems in place can also help you manage your teams more effectively, enabling both troubleshooting and collaboration with ease. Ultimately, a well-run systems framework is essential for any thriving plumbing or heating company.

That's where Business in a Box comes in.

You will get everything you need to get your business organised, including document templates, checklists, and other resources. Whether you're just getting started or looking to take your business to the next level, Business in a Box can help you achieve your goals.

More Information- CJRS and SEISS

As we start another week,  I felt it was important for me to share the latest updates with you regarding the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme and the Self-Employed Income Support Scheme. HMRC Recovery Powers HMRC have put together the draft legislative package to reclaim payments under CJRS and the Self-Employed Income Support Scheme. This is subject to a HMRC consultation which comes to an end on 12th June. Under the draft legislation, HMRC will have the power, by way of a 100% tax charge, to recover payments which were either: Not due Not used to pay wages and PAYE Not used to make pension contributions Penalties will be imposed where there has been deliberate non-compliance. This comes at the same time as HMRC have notified that, to date, they have picked up on nearly 2,000 fraudulent CJRS claims to date. This is, in part, due to ongoing calls to their Fraud hotline number 0800 788887 and also through their online whistle-blower report webpage. Big reminder – 10th June last dat...

WARNING - Self Employed Take Note

Who does this affect? Unincorporated businesses (sole-traders, partnerships, and limited liability partnerships) whose accounts year does not end between 31st March and 5th April.  What is the present position? For a particular tax year, you are normally taxed on the net profit per the accounts which end in that tax year. Example of the Present Position Tom has been self-employed for several years and draws up accounts to 30th April each year. His accounts to 30th April 2021 show net profit of £30,000.

Do I have to move my accounting date? No, you can retain your present accounting year end if you want. However, if the change comes into effect, for tax purposes, you will need to report your self-employed income and expenditure incurred based upon the tax year a...
