@HMRCcustomers Thank you for confirming this, Nancy.

@_EmmaBruun Thanks for waiting. You must use the same accounting method for every part of your accounting. Nancy

@HMRCcustomers - please could you advise, it is okay to use a combination of the accruals & cash basis accounting methods for your self-assessment tax return (as a sole trader), e.g. using cash basis for income and accruals for business expenses.

@HMRCcustomers OK thank you!

@_EmmaBruun Hi, I’ve passed this to our technical team for further advise. Once I receive a response I’ll get back to you, please bear with me. Thanks, Sofia

@HMRCcustomers That’s great, thanks for confirming Amandine.

@_EmmaBruun Hi Emma, that is right. Please see the following link: gov.uk/government/pub…. Amandine

@HMRCcustomers - could you advise me if agent authority is required for an accountant to submit my self-assessment tax return (as a sole trader) on my behalf to HMRC? This would be a one-off tax-related activity that my accountant would undertake for the 23/24 tax year.

Although #30DaysWild is over for another year I’m still enjoy spotting things out and about on my walks - like this rainbow over some charming thatched houses @WildlifeTrusts #Oxfordshire

RT’d for #StaircaseSaturday In 1931, Madame Antoinette Sherri started building her ‘castle’ in #Chesterfield #NewHampshire #USA. On her death, it fell into disrepair, & it burned down in 1962. All that remains is the stonework from the staircase, the foundation & a fireplace

Is there anything more lovely than a wildflower meadow in the summer sunshine? @WildlifeTrusts #30DaysWild #Oxfordshire

Does an outdoor lido summer solstice-themed swim count as wild? 😄 #30DaysWild @WildlifeTrusts #Oxfordshire

My butterfly identification skills are not the best - but I’m reliably informed this is a small heath! @WildlifeTrusts #30DaysWild #Oxfordshire

Had a lovely few days in Yorkshire - a mixed bag of torrential rain and almost Mediterranean sun but it looks lovely in all weathers @WildlifeTrusts #30DaysWild

A sun dog rainbow fragment spotted in the clouds in West Yorkshire today 🌈 Perhaps it’s nature’s way of celebrating Pride month? 🙂 @WildlifeTrusts #30DaysWild @CloudAppSoc

At the risk of seeming a bit bee-obsessed 🐝 I was quite pleased with this snap of one in flight enjoying this foxglove in the sunshine @WildlifeTrusts #30DaysWild #Oxfordshire
