Did you make the tax deadline this year?
1. Did you make the tax deadline this year?
Were you organised with everything filed away properly?
2. Tax season is a great time for new resolutions. Each year
thousands of people hurry around at the end of January trying
to find all their receipts and invoices to at least make an
attempt at bringing their affairs into order so they can finish
their tax return.
3. In offices and homes across the country bins are
being emptied, filing cabinets turned over and
emails searched in order to find that last bit of
information that will bring down the tax bill
and leave a bit of money for a meal on Friday
night.
4. And every year the same promise to yourself โ next
year Iโll file everything properly and keep a record
every time I get an invoice or receipt.
I imagine this promise is broken by about mid-
February!
5. Thereโs no need to do this though, keeping everything together in
one place is really easy and for the small business or sole trader or
even contractor that has only a few receipts each month, it could
be as simple as keeping everything in a filing box or desktop
organiser.
The key is to keep everything in one place and file it the minute you
get it!
6. So many people think they can leave things in the bottom of
their laptop bag and โdo it laterโ and then end up losing it.
Donโt let it happen to you!
7. Filing things consistently and carefully is
essential to keeping your records in order
even for the business owner.
It also means that if you have an accountant
your year-end will be much quicker and
therefore cheaper for him to complete if you
hand him all your files rather than a plastic
bag with loads of receipts in it!
8. Luckily, the Office Supplies Supermarket has a whole range of
filing systems available ranging from file cabinets, file trolleys,
mobile filing pedestals through to ultra secure waterproof and
fire safe drawers.
Thereโs also a variety of storage boxes if you want to put
everything together in one place.
Now would be a good time to seek them out!
