Being a self-employed childminder, you are responsible for calculating and paying your own tax and National Insurance (NI) – which can be daunting to say the least!
At SCMA, we understand that when it comes to your tax, you want to make sure you’re doing it correctly and thanks to our relationship with HMRC we’ve now published our 2016-17 Tax & NI guide for childminders.
Using this guide will ensure your tax and NI information is accurate, up-to-date and reliable. And with this exclusive childminders’ guidance and support from HMRC’s online resources, you’ll feel much more confident - without having to call their helpline!
Our free 18-page guide covers the Tax and National Insurance issues that directly relate to a childminder’s businesses, and the guide follows childminder Sue as she calculates her own tax using real-life examples and case studies.
SCMA members can now download the 2016-17 Tax & NI guide from the Documents section of the Membership Dashboard. This 2016-17 guide should be used to complete your self-assessment for the 2016-17 tax year, which is due 31 January 2018.
For the current 2015-16 tax year, which is due 31 January 2017, childminders should use the 2015-16 Tax & NI guide, which is also available from the Membership Dashboard.
