Note: Please bear in mind that this is a discussion board, not a place to advertise childcare vacancies or recruit childminders/nannies etc. We don't mind the odd mumsnet regular mentioning that they're looking for a job/mindee (although you're probably better off in MN Local) but repeated job "ads" and posts from nanny/babysitting agencies aren't fair to people who are paying for small business ads. Do feel free to report any you see. Thanks, MNHQ.

Hi there,

I really hope you can help me ! I'm a cm and before anyone says anything I'm off today smile so no children. Last year, I paid about 1100 pounds of taxes.

This year I was expecting to pay the same as my turnover is almost the same as year and my expenses the same so I have saved accordingly.

However I have filled my tax return and it says that I owe them 3.700 ??

Out this amount, 2.500 pounds is for class 4 and student loan !

Is there something wrong with it ?

Total allowable expenses is exactly £7,900 which seems strange - this figure should be everything you have spent on allowable expenses PLUS £2,332 which is 10% of your income as wear and tear allowance.

Do not use listentotaxman, that site is for employees not the self employed.

As a really quick and rough way of working out the total tax and NI for the year, take your profit of £16,000, take off £7,500 to get £8,500 and multiply this by 29% to get £2,465.

What was your profit last year?

What dates do you use for your accounts? When is your end of year?

Your profit seems veryhigh for childminding. Are you sure you have offset all of your allowable expenses ? Might be worth checking out further for future reference.
(Sorry if that sounds rude, it's not meant to)
