1. Predict & Prevent

If you register for VAT after 1 April 2010 or if your company has an annual turnover above £100,000, Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, HMRC, will require you to file all your VAT returns online. Sage users are invited to attend a free Internet seminar offered by Chamber member Levicks Accountants. Taking just 45 minutes of your time, June Horne of Sage and Heather Threfall of Levicks are working together to offer you an exceptional opportunity to update yourself on your obligations and on how to prevent future problems and costs. Two seminars are offered; 1400 hrs on Monday 8th February 2010 or 0930 hrs on Friday 12th February 2010.

Even if your company currently has a turnover below £100,000, you might find it well worthwhile investing three-quarters of an hour now.
