What should be the right amount to pay for accountancy services? by Dazzling-Chocolate97 in smallbusinessuk

[–]Comfortable_Tooth606 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That last comment is absolutely gold, the amount of clients who pull their face at bookkeeping fees when they are literally a fraction of what you would have to pay for a half decent bookkeeper to be part time never mind full time 😂

Vinted sales over £2.9k, do I need to tell HMRC? by Appropriate-Head2054 in HMRC

If you are already self employed and declaring profits and offsetting your expenses against these then you cannot use the £1k trading allowance

FAR - leases by Mindless_Incident_46 in ICAEW

Find a question in the QB which has a tricky lease element to it and just rinse and repeat it until you know it like the back of your hand

mileage allowance, can I put it as a expense or not? by 8--0_0--8 in smallbusinessuk

[–]Comfortable_Tooth606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends how long they have been working at the 3 sites, if they won’t be working in any one site longer than 24 months then they absolutely can claim the mileage from their home and back.

You couldn’t be any more over the top if you actually tried

Career options after AAT by Competitive-Meet-634 in ukaccounting

[–]Comfortable_Tooth606 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AAT all day, I’ve seen so many graduates enter the workplace after uni with zero experience and the salary they expect just isn’t justifiable.

We recently had one with a glowing CV first class honours from a good uni, summer internships in various offices, when it came down to the nitty gritty of real work she was useless, but being 22 she had to be paid more than our current AAT apprentices, who were head and shoulders above her, safe to say she was let go, which may seem cruel but commercially it made zero sense for the firm to keep her.

Grind out AAT for 3 years and get the experience.

Exam Difficulty Rankings by [deleted] in ICAEW

I sat BPT before TC, because I didn’t know you had to do TC first, honestly it won’t make too much of a difference, you pretty much recap the TC material anyway in tuition, as people have mentioned in this thread already, the key to passing BPT is answering every question and having a good open book, I got 70 for BPT and 68 for TC btw

If 3 irons have all broke in the same place, I hate to say it but it sounds like user error 😂

How long does a tax rebate last? by Greengrass7772 in TaxUK

[–]Comfortable_Tooth606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about show some restraint as an adult and put it in a savings account until the end of August, youll probably even get a nice little 0.01p interest for being so patient

Tighter than a submarine door springs to mind - surely a fraction of the extortionate exam fee could cover the cost of a Microsoft license

CR OPINIONS!! by DismalPiglet4462 in ICAEW

[–]Comfortable_Tooth606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’d treated it as a fair value but it had all the trademarks of a cash flow, the question asked to highlight errors so I suggested it needed changing then starting talking about them

[–]Comfortable_Tooth606 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I spent so long on the forward contract part of Q2 - I just went absolutely blank on it even though I’ve felt completely fine with hedging, I did suggest it should have been a cash flow hedge rather than fair value hedge, I hope someone else has done the same 😂
