Worth knowing
Rules that come up in this work
Closing a company
A solvent company that has finished its purpose can be dissolved by voluntary strike-off: form DS01 with a £13 Companies House fee, after three months without trading and with all debts paid, final accounts and tax return filed, and assets distributed. HMRC objects to any application where returns or tax are outstanding, so the sequence matters more than the form.
Switching accountants
The main reasons people switch accountant are surprise invoices, missed deadlines and not understanding what they are being told. Switching involves a clearance letter between the firms, a transfer of records and agent authorisations, and a short handover of the current position. It takes about two weeks and should cost nothing extra.
The trading and property allowances
The first £1,000 of trading income and, separately, the first £1,000 of property income each year is tax free under the trading and property allowances. Below those figures no return is needed for that income. Above them you can deduct the £1,000 allowance instead of actual expenses if that is better, which suits side businesses and single-room lets with few costs.
Dormant companies
Dormancy is a status that is easy to lose. The strict rule is no accounting transactions other than share capital and Companies House fees, which means no bank account activity at all in practice. Fees should be paid personally by the director. A company that traded and has stopped becomes dormant only after its final trading accounts and tax return are filed and HMRC is told.
Workplace pensions and auto-enrolment
Workplace pension compliance is part of payroll, not separate from it. Each pay period the payroll assesses who is eligible, calculates employer and employee contributions on qualifying earnings between the lower and upper thresholds, and sends the contribution file to the scheme. The minimum total is 8%, and many employers choose to contribute more as a recruitment advantage.
Employer National Insurance
The cost of an employee is more than the salary. Employer National Insurance at 15% above £5,000 a year, the 3% minimum pension contribution, holiday pay, equipment and management time all come on top. The Employment Allowance of £10,500 reduces the National Insurance for most employers with more than one person on the payroll.
Allowable expenses
An expense is allowable against trading profit if it is incurred wholly and exclusively for the business. Materials, business travel other than ordinary commuting, a proportion of home running costs, software, insurance, professional fees, bank charges and protective clothing qualify. Client entertainment, ordinary clothing, fines and the private share of mixed-use costs do not.
Questions
Accounting Software Support questions from Bromley Common and Keston
What if I want to do my own bookkeeping after setup?
That is exactly what the setup and training are for. Many clients keep their own books in the software we set up and come to us only for the year-end accounts and tax return, which is cheaper for them. We configure bank rules and automations so the routine work is mostly matching, not typing.
Can you fix VAT returns that were filed from the software wrongly?
Yes. We reconcile each filed return to the transactions, identify the errors, and correct them in the software and, where required, with HMRC through the next return or a formal error correction. The cleanup fee covers the software work; any HMRC correction is quoted separately before we start.
Do you provide training?
Yes. The £89 session is 90 minutes by video call, recorded for you to replay, covering the tasks you actually do: raising invoices, capturing receipts, matching bank transactions, running the VAT return, reading the reports. A written quick-reference follows. Several staff can attend the same session.
Who pays for the software subscription?
You do, directly to the software company, so that the data is yours and you can change accountant without losing it. Subscriptions range from a few pounds a month for basic sole trader tools to around £35 for the fuller platforms. We will tell you if a cheaper tier is sufficient.
Can you connect my online shop or payment processor?
Yes. Marketplace and e-commerce platforms, card processors and payment gateways can be integrated so that sales, fees and payouts post automatically and reconcile to the bank. Getting the fee and VAT treatment right on these integrations is where most e-commerce files go wrong, and we configure it as part of the setup.
Will the setup make my year-end cheaper?
Usually, yes. Our own limited company and sole trader accounts fees assume reconciled records, and a properly set up file produces them. Accounts prepared from a tidy software file take days; accounts rebuilt from a broken one take weeks and cost more. The setup fee is typically recovered in the first year-end.
Is accounting software support in Bromley Common and Keston really the same price as elsewhere?
Yes. The fee published on this page is what a client in Bromley Common and Keston pays and what a client in any other part of England pays. It is confirmed in writing before work starts and the invoice matches the quote. Where a higher package applies because your situation is more complex, we say so at the quote stage, never afterwards.
Do you have an office in Bromley Common and Keston?
No. IGI Accounting is an online-only firm. We serve Bromley Common and Keston and every other UK postcode remotely, with records sent by WhatsApp or email and everything filed electronically. The absence of local premises is why the fee for accounting software support is the same in Bromley Common and Keston as anywhere else in the country, and why there is nothing to visit and nothing to print.
