Self-Employed

Self-Employed Trades

Being self-employed is the easiest and least complex way for the majority of people starting out in business to get off the ground. We can help every step of the way including:

    • the preparation of simple cash flow forecasts
    • obtaining bank funding
    • registration for PAYE and VAT
    • selection of cloud based bookkeeping packages
    • ongoing support and advice

In recent years HMRC have mounted many challenges to people operating on a self-employed basis arguing that they should be treated by the company they work for as employees. IR35 was drafted to catch instances of disguised employment. For those operating particularly within the construction industry we can offer help and advice from our knowledge and extensive experience of these matters and also, if applicable, registration under the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS).

Moreover we like to work with our clients and become trusted partners enabling them to do what they are best at which is run their business.

With success comes added problems and, as a business grows, we can advise on the benefits of incorporation ensuring the most tax efficient remuneration strategies are implemented. Effectively we are able to offer help and advice through the entire life cycle of a business.

Main Street Music have used Harris Bassett Accountants for the last 2 years.  During this time we have always found them to be extremely helpful in any of our accounting needs from payroll to VAT and general accounting.  We are / were complete novices  when it came to payroll and VAT and found Harris Bassett’s help invaluable.  Further to this in our 8 years of business in Pembrokeshire we find Harris Bassett’s fees very reasonable and will continue to use them.
