Tax shouldn't be taxing
The deadline looms for me to submit my tax return for last year – being self-employed, I need to tell the Revenue each year how much I’ve earned and spent in the past year so that they can take their pound of flesh.
Fortunately, I have a very nice accountant who takes my accounts, fills in the forms and tells me how much tax I need to pay. Anyone else who is self-employed: I would heartily recommend that you find yourself a good accountant who’s familiar with your type of business. It’s far cheaper on an hourly basis than doing it yourself!
My only difficulty this year is that I’ve changed accounting programs, so I need to make sure that I get all the necessary reports sorted out. And this is complicated by the fact that the old accounts are on an old computer running a different operating system! Wouldn’t have been a problem had I not lost the emulator that would have run the old package on the new OS at some point! Still, it’ll be easier now to plug the old computer in, export the reports and use those!
pax et bonum
