In a previous thread you were talking about charging £125 for 1 hours work (or 3 hours work if you included ‘quote time’ and traveling time !!!).
You ‘more or less’ said that anyone charging less didn’t know how to run a business.
I’m surprised you had ‘no taxable profit’ in your second year when you claim to ‘know the true cost’ and therefore charge accordingly!
Even at a ‘lowly’ £30 per hour – if you worked only 5 hours a day, for only 4 days a week, for 50 weeks you would have earned £30,000.
To not have any ‘taxable profit’ out of that, you must have had some whopping Capital Expenditure, Daily Running Costs/Maintenance Costs and Vehicle Costs
