What allowable expenses are available for the self-employed?

Make sure you keep on top of allowable expenses

Working for yourself makes for an incredibly exciting career choice. Not only do you get the chance to set your own hours and choose the projects that excite you the most, but it enables you to operate in a highly tax-efficient manner. Being self-employed also potentially allows you to receive a significantly higher income in comparison to doing the same kind of work as a permanent full-time employee, most notably as you could off-set tax against the expenses that you incur.

How the forthcoming Real Time Information system will affect reporting payroll data

Make sure you're aware of the new RTI system

Being a contractor gives professionals the freedom to select their own working hours and choose the projects they work on; however, with that comes the need to look after their own payroll and tax issues. With HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) set to introduce a new payroll reporting system later this year, now is the time for professionals to make certain they are aware of the changes this will entail.

Health and safety issues for contractors to consider

Contractors need to stay safe while they work

While being a contractor gives you the freedom to set your own hours and choose the projects that interest you the most, you need to remember that there are many things that you need to take care of beyond the current assignments you're working on. These include, among others, sorting out expenses and making sure that you pay the right amount of tax. Another area that also requires great consideration is safety.
