Save Tax from Home: Our Guide to Claiming for Home Office Expenses

As all contractors are aware, claiming expenses is a great way of reducing your annual tax bill, and when it comes to familiar items like business mileage, office supplies and client lunches the rules are pretty black and white: there’s no limit to the amount of genuine business expenses you can claim every month providing you’re familiar with HMRC’s guidelines.

ClearSky Goes Sky High

ClearSky Accounting = SkyHigh PricesThe hot topic on many contractor forums this month has been the news that, from 31st June, ClearSky Accounting has almost doubled its monthly subscription fee from £66 to £120. This hefty price hike applies not only to new customers but also to the current customer base (all of whom recently received a polite letter giving them the good news) and here in the inni office we’ve already switched a number of disgruntled ClearSky customers over to our Premium service.

HMRC Goes Electronic (Gradually)

If, like us, you like to keep a watchful eye on the machinations of HMRC you’ll probably know that for the past few years they have been implementing an ambitious electronic filing system – in other words, a lot of the form filling you do for the tax man now needs to be completed online.

Reporting Gets Sexy

Traditionally, reporting is regarded as neither the most glamorous nor the most fascinating aspect of running a business, but it's pretty important when it comes to keeping track of your financial information. At inniAccounts we don't like to think of it as a necessary evil so we've launched a mini-crusade to make reporting sexy - or if not sexy, at least interesting, informative and easy to access - by creating our brand new Report Centre, which is now available to all Premium and Plus customers.

Time Saving Tip: Schedule Regular Bills

If you're a Plus or Premium client then inniAccounts can automatically keep track of repeating payments - for example phone or broadband bills, loan repayments, insurance premiums, bank interest or even oboe lessons (assuming you're a professional oboist). You'll get a reminder on your homepage when the bill is due and you'll also find the accuracy of the 'available cash' report improves as inniAccounts is better able to forecast upcoming payments. You'll find the feature by clicking on 'Money Manager' on your company's admin page.
