A new regime has been introduced from 2013-14 for sole traders and partnerships with an income no greater than the VAT threshold.
Under this regime these small businesses may elect to calculate taxable profits on a cash basis rather than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Around 3 million businesses will be affected by this change, and it has major tax implicaitons. However, there has been widespread concern that the new rules are more complicated than they needed to be.
This book provides comprehensive guidance by bringing together in-depth commentary, the legislation, and HMRC guidance.
