    They clearly want you to take for ever to pay it off and pay them lots of interest along the way. Pay that one off first out of principle!:rotfl:

    i can't see where you have put your self employment contributions on your soa?
  • Ok well in that case you don't need to pay the tax until January 2012 so that's even better for you.

    and if he was sub-contracting in 09/10 and has had tax deducted at source he may well get a refund. The reason being that CIS is deducted at a set rate and doesn't take into account his personal allowance or any other expenses that he can deduct, eg telephone, motor, travel etc etc, so a lot of sub-contractors actually get reufnds every year.

    Has he filed his 2009-10 tax return yet? If not i'd get it into the accountant asap

    Thanks Primrose, he has claimed his personal allowances, phone, work clothes, tools etc. I will speak to him re accountant and 09/10 tax. Thanks so much for the info.
