Taxation and Allowances

  • Chapter
Small Business

Part of the book series: Warwick Small Business Series

Abstract

Often the biggest worry for the small businessman is taxation. Not only must he account for the tax he owes on his own earnings, but he must also act as unpaid collector of taxes from his employees and customers. The sheer complexity of the tax system and the volume of forms that regularly need to be filled in can make him wonder whether he will have any time left for the real business problems he faces.

This chapter incorporates the provisions of the Finance Act 1982. The 1983 Budget proposals are given on pages 366–8.
