You dont have a "tax Year" the tax office does so you started in March and you can not carry stock forward you have not accounted for in purchasing, so you you need to fill in a last year tax return prior to April and you will need another next year, the stock goes in the ledger as carried forward along with anything in the bank, you will need register to pay class 4 NI contributions as well on top of what your employment pays. As a sole trader You will be taxed on the business profits on top of your employment earnings from employment as your tax free threshold is already getting used , so the levy, will be heavy, the tax man will end up with around 25% of what you make in profit.

Gosh, wasn't expecting all these replies!

Also what hospital are going to give equipment to any nurse so they could sell these for a profit.

Each NHS Trust varies what they give, however it is very little.

read the OPs post he will be a Sole Trader. It is the company that designed his website that is the limited company

Yes.

Well I have eventually launched my website today!

Wish me luck! Thanks to everyone who replied! x

Good luck with your new online store!

I think it looks clean and simple and it's very easy to navigate. I don't think it's the kind of site that requires anything OTT; presumably nurses just want to find these supplies and buy them with a minimum of fuss. (Can't believe that employers don't provide these for free though! Shocking.) I think it suits its purpose and I hope it does well for you.

You might want to do a 301 redirect though as your site uses both the main domain and the www subdomain. I believe Google frowns on that as it looks like duplicate content (although it isn't really). It's just 3 lines of code in your config file but I think it's useful.

if the domain is in their (create) account it will be in their name, you will need your own 123-reg account and get them to push this to your account and then get the name changed through nominet.

also as someone what has run their own hosting business for the last 10+ yrs your whois information breaches Nominets Terms as the registrant is Create Internet Ltd but listed as a UK Individual, if its to be regsitered to Create Internet Ltd then the type needs to be UK limited company and steve1980 is wrong if the domain is for a lit co then it can be regsitered in the co name as long as the type is correct.

looking at the way the site is and the whois details are set up i bet that Create Internet Ltd designed and are hosting your site with a free domain which they have registered in their own 123-reg account and not in an account in your name.

What I should have said is ALL reputable companies would put the registrant as the client.

normally this would happen if you give your clients a domain registrar account, but if you register a domain for your client in your own domain account then the domain will be registered in your name, the only thing you can change would be the address.

like creation in this case must register the domains in their own 123-reg account for their clients websites.

the only option is to get them to push the domain to an account in your own name and then contact nominet to change the registrant name (this will cost £10 + VAT)
