Affiliate Marketing Software
Best Accounting Software For Self-Employed Individual?
I work for myself online selling scripts that I create, trading on eBay and affiliate marketing.
I have not yet got around to sorting out any of my taxes but have been working online for 5 months now and think that it is time to get this all sorted out!!!
Can anybody recommended an open source or a commercial application that would be suitable for me to file my papers with the HMRC as a self employed individual or sole trader?
And would it be more beneficial for me to become a sole trader or would I be better off running under a PLC and paying myself or does that just complicate things?
Thanks a lot in advance 
Unfortunately you alkready have a small problem because you are required to register with HMRC as a self employed person within 3 months of starting or you are subject to a fine….
You don’t want a PLC (Public limited company) – I suspect you meant an Ltd (Private limited company).
My general rule of thumb is that if your taxable profits are more than £25,000 then a limited company is worthwhile. Much less than that and the tax savings get swallowed up by increased admin costs and paperwork burdens. Under about £20k profit and a sole trader is in my view the only sensible option.
You canb file your tax return yourself with the Revenue once you have registered on their website through the Government Gateway, so the only thing particularly to worry about is 1. recording your income and expenses sensibly, and 2. making sure you are claiming all the expenses and reliefs that you can legitimately offset against the business.
For simple businesses, a spreadsheet works really well! For people needing something a bit more complex, then Solar Accounts or VT Transaction Plus are very good low cost but effective bits of software.
