    If it's a side hussle likely your personal allowance will have been used and national insurance already be paid via main job , if that's the case dividend payments only if you go the limited route . If you go sole trader setup a seperate bank account ( doesn't have to be a business account) and only use that for your hussle it will make accounting far easier come tax time

    What do you think about buying a house through a limited company? I'd love to move a house (and keep the one I have as a let) but, my mortgage adviser says that the taxes are crazy and he doesn't recommend it. My husband is working on starting his own business. This is why I am wondering about buying the property when his company goes limited. I'd love to hear your opinion on this. Thank you. Jennifer.

    This isn’t entirely true what has been said - some traders can have employees, they can also be liable for VAT as it goes on turnover (unless choosing to register before the threshold) and when taking money out as a director of a limited company is not as simple as ‘everything you take out is like a salary’ you have to ensure that you are only taking from profits otherwise these dividends will be ‘illegal dividends’ - I would advise anyone wanting to make this decision to speak to an accountant first

    As a Sole Trader I have a question: if I put 20k into CASH ISA could I add it to my expenses (so I don't pay any tax on it)? example: if my net profit was 60K can I deduct 20k and only pay tax on 40k? What happens when I withdraw ISA next tax year - do I have to then add it to my earnings?

    Hello! Thank you for the informative video. What do you think is the threshold to switch from a sole trader to a limited company taking into consideration that as a sole trader there is no need of an accountant and as a limited company you will pay 1,5k (annually-London-price) for an accountant. Is it is 50k?

    I don't believe you need an accountant if you're a LTD company. All depends on whether you're good with paperwork! Most people do but you can use some software (freeagent/quickbook etc.) to manage everything thats much cheaper than an accountant charging £800+ per year

    Hi, thank you so much for this elaborate and educative video, for a beginner like me', on the fundamental differences between the 'Sole trader' and 'Limited company' businesses. It has given me an opportunity to understand that I am, right now, eligible to start my business as a 'sole trader', while doing my day job as an employee. It feels like I have wasted a lot of time with a wrong assumption that I wouldn't be allowed to start a business. I would like to explore more learning material, looking forward to get educated myself, would like to start to grow step by step and day after day!! I am where can I register my company!!? What are the steps of registering the company (as 'sole trader' form in the beginning)? On which website, I can register the sole trader company, what documentation I need to register, and how to get VAT number etc. Thank you so much once again for this informative video!!!
