    Good evening, wasn't expecting to be here tonight, but got as far as theatre reception sitting in my lovely gown, the surgeon had been and tattooed my arm and then the anesthetsatist (sp), decided I was not suitable due to the blood results, so starved until after lunch for nothing, so back to the waiting list:)

    Oh izzy....not good at all....sorry to hear that.....do you have another date?

    I am currently getting my knickers in a major twist over my Self Employed tax return ! If anyone can help me with a bit of advice I'd really appreciate it.

    For a few years now I've done a bit of Mystery Shopping so had to register as S/E and fill in a yearly assessment form - up till now thats been easy enough to do especially as I do very few jobs now. This year its all gone pie shaped ! My State Retirement Pension , Private Pension , Share income and Bank interest etc all have tax taken off at source - according to my tax calculation I owe them £1.40 so its pretty much right. I've managed to make a loss on the Mystery Shopping of a little over £100 so I need to set that against my other taxable income - but when I insert those details I still end up owing them £1.40 and I can't understand why as it seems that I am not getting any allowance for my loss of profit.

    I guess I have omitted to put this loss in a relevant box somewhere but I can't see where it should go. If anyone can tell me which section it should go under I'd really appreciate it.

    As far as I'm aware, you can't offset a loss of this nature as otherwise we'd all be mystery shopping or running some other kind of business at a loss and offsetting it against our paye income (or pension). Taken to the extreme, no one would pay any tax at all. You don't have a "loss of profit," you just have a loss. Aau1 may be able to confirm.

    Thanks



    QOC, did they charge you postage?

    £2.95 but I still didn't spend much and they'll be very well used :cool:

    Edit - I think I have done a semi Henlans...... I bought 50!

    I had previously bought 22, and most of them have been 'acquired' by other people... so I just bought another 50! Hopefully I will manage to keep hold of these ones!

    (I am going to use 20 for my Christmas bags).
