Buying your dreamed home now!
To make money, everything is sale. You have to sell something to make money. Otherwise you will not get paid. Some people don't like sales because they don't like salesman. But they don't notice that the reason they get their paychecks is they sell their work or labor.
If you like to sell products, there are two ways to sell it. You can sell it on auctions like ebay or you can sell it by setting up an online store of your own. There are advantages of both of them.
For the online auctions, there is already built in traffic. All you need to do is list your product there and wait for customers. The disadvantage is that the cost is high. You have to pay the auction fee. To limit the auction fee, you may have to limit the number of items in your auction. And you have a limited freedom to customize how your auctions looks.
Having said that, you must have invoiced your customers and as you'll have a copy from which you can construct from them your likely journeys & mileage. But in any case you should have been claiming mileage whilst using your private vehicle (e.g. 40p per mile). If not, why did your accountant not tell you that, maybe its time to consider a change!
I just feel as the only things i have spent money on is fuel and car and about £100 on various items it seemed pointless having an accountant. Is it possible for the average person to do their own tax return - as I've been led to believe i can but if this is a wrong move then i probably should know now before i try any further?
