Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Why should you do this course?
There is no denying that running a business is rewarding but if you have a vested interest in it and/or are charged with looking after the day-to-day transactions you could unwittingly be drip-feeding profits into pointless expenses. What does that mean? It means you could be paying out money on expenses your business cannot even claim as a tax deductible expense so that means less money AND you pay more tax. Then there is the tax compliance end – for all businesses self-assessment is the name of the game and if you make a false move you could find yourself on the Revenue Radar for all the wrong reasons so this course will show you how to always stay one step ahead of Revenue, retain profit and pay less tax. You will also learn valuable and completely above board tax hacks you never knew existed!
