I've just started a job midway through my tax year.
Is this going to be messy?
I assume I need to prepare some books right away.
Anything I should know to help smooth the way.
As it stands I don't expect to see a salary at the end of this month.
Knowing your luck, Bedfordshire and surrounding counties will be destroyed in earthquake/hit by meteor/quarantined by F&M disease/sink like Atlantis/be invaded by the French.....

Don't touch anything, press anything, open anything, sit anywhere, eat anything or speak...
LOL
Too late the printer has just fallen off my desk.
Oh and the Dale farm residents are heading this way...is that like the French or not quite as bad?
Nice one oldgit! Only a couple of things you need to remember through the transition:
1. you no longer have to worry about any of the stuff that used to keep you awake at night. Its somebody else's problem now. Meh! Leave it all behind you at 5 on the dot and enjoy
2. Books? Pfft. Again: somebody else's problem. Namely HMRC's. Work out how much you owe them, put it in an account, Possibly where its off-setting your mortgage, then let them do the running. Not forgetting they are the most incompetent ****-wits on the planet.
Oh.... and Good luck fella 😀
no probs.. drop hmrc a note saying your now an employee as of xyz date fill in your self cert as normal on 31 jan easy..
you ll be given a tax code and have tax deducted initially on an emergency code and then weekly. monthly as normal they wont add any on for what you might owe when you were self emplyed.. and hmrc are rubbish
just had a phone call that ive waited four weeks for to be told she doesnt know anything and will write to confirm that then i can call back wait another four weeks and hope the next person knows more.. and this over 162.50..
Sounds familiar. I wrapped a business up nearly 2 years ago. HMRC still send me an estimated VAT bill every quarter. Sometimes I get 3 wildly different estimates from 3 different tax offices. Then I get multitudes of follow up letters asking why its not been paid.
God only knows how many times I've written/emailed/phoned them to tell them the business is no longer trading. Still they keep arriving. I don't even open them any more. Filed straight under 'B'
When the minister in charge recently said that HMRC was, in his words 'not fit for purpose' he wasn't bloody joking! I notice on the news recently that they're recruiting 2000 more staff. Didn't they make about that many redundant about a year ago? Utter utter retards!!!
