being paid....

[Mr Tiler]

hi guys instead of me booking an appointment and having to drive up to my advisor for an answer to my question I thought I would post it n here to see what I get.... when I have completed a paid job in what way do I keep proof of that job? do you simply put the money in your bank and keep it on record that way? or do you make your own receipts for completed work? thanks

 

[mike1979]

Stick it under the mattress and say no more lol

 

[Mr Tiler]

When you have finished your job then give the customer an invoice which should be duplicated you keep a copy as your record of payment ..

 

[Mr Tiler]

ok thanks mate

 

[mike1979]

I write mine out manually using a receipt book that I and the customer signs then I give them the top copy and I keep the other copy and log the job in my book and staple the receipt to it happy days it works for me unless I did the job on a Saturday it's goes under the bed then lol

Keep a good record of all your accounts Ash. With the tax threshold as it is you probably wont have to pay any tax this year anyway, So keep good records especally just starting up, and next year we'll look at offshore accounts. :lol:

A piggy bank should do you this year...lol

Just get one of these.
Adams Carbon Triplicate Invoice Book - Staples
Available from most stationary shops.
fill it in with your business name and address , customers name, brief job description and amount charged.
give the customer one copy and keep the other one yourself.
dont forget to keep a record of you expenditure as this goes against any tax.

Keep receipts for absolutely everything and get a good accountant, although you'll be doing well if you earn above the 9k tax threshold in the next few years. :lol:

Stick a box folder in your car/van and anything you buy in your travels pop it in there, along with invoices etc. Bit of a mess come sorting time but keeps it all together.
