No, as you're a Trendsetter (judging by your signature).

Oh, why's that then? (sorry to sound thick lol)!

A trendsetter is someone who is 2 campaigns ahead of everyone else but can also back order 2 campaigns.

There are a limited number of trendsetters around the country, they are in selected areas. Basically they are ahead on campaigns, so Avon can see the buying cycle, what is selling well etc before the rest of us catch up.

Can someone help me? I've just got a self employed earnings form from the council to fill in for housing/council tax benefit. Now i'm a little confused in it it asks for 'closing stock value', 'cost of sales (stock)', and 'opening stock value'.

I'm so confused, can anyone help me?? also regarding wages, how do you all sort that out? it's asking how much wages I get?? tbh I've no idea... I don't really take anything because I order out of HT and the clearance....

anyone help me?? I'm begining to really hate this tax and numbers side of things...

thanks

I know the closing stock value would be the cost of any stock that you hold for free gifts or partys.

Going on 25th may - I can't wait.
I won it in a prize dray my SL ran - I think you got more tickets dependant on sales.

Ive never been, but I have been told by my asm that it is good and gives you a bit more understanding of Avon.

Enjoy yourself. When are you going?

Quick way to get a close estimate is this.

Amount of Sales from customer eg £500
= 25% commission £125
Less
Demo items
samples
Brochures
bags
calling cards £25
profit (wages) so far £100
deduct from this any further expenses
Working from home £9
fuel if you are SL £30
advertising £5
Stationary (vistaprint etc) £15
total profit £41 over a three week period.

this is just an estimate, but stock that you buy for yourself, is not something that you can claim for unless it is demo, samples or actual items for a raffle or free gifts. In which case you must declare any profit you make from the raffle.

Its not that bad once you get your head down and start doing your accounts. Do little and often and you get through it.

Thanks for confirming - I wasn't quite sure.

Mind you, from Gloversgirl's sig, C10 looks like its going to be a cracker!
