Hi,
I am drawing up my first year sole trader accounts for the year ended 31 May 2007, and would greatly appreciate any advice/examples as to how i would work out/calculate my first year basis period, and adjusted profits for the period 5th April 2007.
Am i correct to ascertain that you take the number of days from the date you commenced self-employment, till 5th April, and add them up. you then take add the rest of the days up till the year end, in my case 31 May 2007, which should give me a total 365 days.
for example: my profits for instance are £5000 for the year
1/6/06 - 5/4/07 = 309 days
6/4/07 - 31/5/07 = 56 days
Therfore, giving me a total of 365 days, here is where i get stuck and have no clue what to do.
Could some one please advise me as to how i would calculate the adjusted profit, and what figure i should put in the self-assesment (self-employment) box 3.77 for 2006/07.
If anyone has any suggestions to a easier method for working adjusted profits then please kindly provide an example.
Kind regards
Junior
