Book-keeping
Every business has financial records, and will know that successful business accounting needs successful bookkeeping procedures to back it up. Maintaining your financial records can be a difficult process, and obtaining the data and information needed by HMRC can be a lengthy and unwieldy task.
Bookkeeping is traditionally done by a book-keeper. The kinds of information they will typically be required to maintain are purchases, sales, receipts, payments bank, cash and assets. There may be more depending on your business. Monitoring and recording these records is not an easy job – and is one that’s hard to get right.
Unsuccessful or inaccurate book-keeping can have a negative impact on your business, as well as your time.
Benefits of bookkeeping
The benefits of keeping your books efficiently are endless. The law requires you to keep and provide a truly reflective record of your business financially. From tracking your expenses to paying the correct taxes, experienced business people will know that immaculate book-keeping ultimately brings the best rewards, both organisationally and for official purposes.
Keeping records for HMRC
The Law, which is governed and implemented by HMRC, requires those submitting tax returns to keep all of the records and documents you need to demonstrate correct figures. There may be penalties if your records are inaccurate or incomplete. In addition to this, as a general guide, records must be kept for at least six years, although there are some exceptions.
