Self-employed and small-business tax

For sole proprietors and side businesses — the business schedule done properly, with the expense questions answered before you file.

What this covers

If you are self-employed or running an unincorporated business, your business results are reported on your personal return. That schedule is prepared from your records — sorting what is deductible from what is not, handling the home-office and vehicle calculations, and applying capital cost allowance where it belongs.

Who it's for

Sole proprietors, contractors, tradespeople, consultants, and anyone with a side business that has grown past the point where guessing at expenses feels comfortable.

What usually goes wrong

  • Personal and business spending mixed in one account, making every expense a judgement call
  • Equipment expensed in full when it should have been depreciated over time
  • Home-office and vehicle claims calculated on a rule of thumb rather than the actual basis
  • No instalments set aside, so the first profitable year arrives with a bill and interest

How it works

Work starts from whatever records exist. Where they are thin, you will be told what to keep next year and how — most of the money lost here is lost to record-keeping, not to the rules.

What it costs

A flat fee covering the personal return and the business schedule together, agreed before work starts.

Get started

A name and an email is enough to begin. You'll get a written scope and a fee back before any work starts, with no obligation to go ahead.
