Window Cleaning Forum / Re: Tax records
« Last post by Bungle on January 13, 2026, 10:00:14 pm »
Talking about Tax, I have came up with a novel idea to bump up some customers prices. I'm telling them I need to add a pound next month to cover tax digital. Not even bothered if they cancel because today I picked up a new customer and when I told him its a tenner a month he said is that all.

1, You don’t need to find creative ways or lie to customers to increase your prices.

2, I’m not surprised they said ‘is that all?’ Your prices are terrible.

Prices are notoriously cheaper in Scotland.

No need to lie to customers at all. Just put them up. No need for a reason.

Prices are not cheaper in Scotland at all Daz. Scotland is exactly the same as everywhere else- there's areas with very high wealth and areas not so much ... Just like where you live. You couldn't command your prices on a run down council estate could you? That's why you travel to certain areas. 👍

Just gone in the loft to do a sort out.
Pulled a few boxes down with s/e tax return records going back to 2007 😳.
How long do you keep them.
From what I can gather its 5 yrs from date submitted
 Is this right?
I hope so as I want to bin a few early years.😁

Yep. 5 years.

I'm pretty sure it's 7 years not 5 years....

I have at least 20 years of tax records. HMRC can go back this far if they decide to audit you.

Personally I think its foolish to get rid of any tax records.

Absolutely no need to do this. The government website says 5 years. So 5 years it is.

Check out the price of some Renault traffic E-Techs.

One year old, hardly any miles, and only £15,000 plus vat.

One year old electric van is the way to go if you want a new vehicle with warranty that isn’t going to burst the bank.

Useless van to me, only the e custom is rated to tow over 2 tonne, and I need that for regular cherry picker towing.

Be great for those of you who don’t tow though. Although, doesn’t look as nice as an e custom.

Be interesting to see how towing affects range ?

Had one years ago when they fist came out, hated it!

Seldom use squeegees now, but any inside work I do is done with a liquidator.

Anyone use one? How do you find it? I ordered one over Xmas and I tried it out today. I must say I really like it.

Has anyones accountant given you an idea  yet as to how their charges are going to change? , ie will they be charging you for 4x the amount they do now as its in effect 4x mini tax returns  or are they  cautious about losing you if they do?  I don't use one, never have, it's always been relatively simple as a one man band but may consider doing so going forward.
