Oh no I'm starting to worry now. Is my next step now to get an accountant? How much is the initial cost of an accountant? How do i register us as a business? How do i register for tax?

We were told to work a year and collect all receipts and invoices and then call them back, so we haven't registered for tax or NI yet - how do we do this? Bear in mind we are nearly 1 month in to our business and we do want to this the right way. Also, when I give them my NI number (instead of my partner who is on a lower salary) how will this affect my tax/salary with my full time job? (They won't except my partners NI number as he already works for the pub who we done the disco for). This is very complicated!) Thanks for the help by the way.

OK, thanks guys. The gig in question was for a pub. We both have jobs but they want my NI number and not my mates because he actually works there. We were thinking of registering the business in his name as he only works part time. So that will change now.

Hi All, We done our first DJ at New Year and we got paid. We gave an invoice to the client and kept a receipt. The IR said work one year, keep all the receipts and then hand them in with a form at the end of the year. So we now have 3 receipts in our portfolio. But now the client from New Year wants our NI number. Is this correct procedure? Should I give them it? They said it was to prove that they paid and employed us for one night. Any help would be appreciated because the people I called at the tax office didn't seem interested. Thanks

We only need to buy some more lighting and we will have all the gear we need, we think!!! We had a lot of gear anyway as we used to mess about in our free time playing music etc. We have a PC with VirtualDJ! which works really well. Thanks for the link! Is it right that I don't have to register for VAT yet?

Thanks for the welcome!!! Who do i go to see to register as a business??? Do i have to go and see someone to let them know? Thanks

Wow thanks for all the advice - just what I needed! Yes, we have done the friends and family discos and so far so good!!! We have had good feed back from people and now want to push it further. If we keep all records etc during the year will we only need an accountant at the end of each year? Also, should we start up in both our names (joint) or in one of our names (I heard that we should register the business with my mate who has a lower salary in his full time job than mine - that way we would pay less tax???? is this correct??) Ideally, I want us both to be registered as the gear we h

Hello I am new here! Me and a friend are looking into starting up a mobile disco business. We already have all the gear and would like some ideas on how to go about it. i.e. registering as a business, self employed?, paying tax etc We are both full time employed and will do this as a part time thing as I would imagine most people do. Thanks in advance!
