Starting your own home based business YOU start to TAKE CONTROL of life. What would your life be like if you no longer had to commute to work everyday, you decided how much you got paid and when you retired? Best of all being recession proof.

Having your own home based Internet business has many benefits:

Let’s start with the savings:

Reduced overheads.

No expensive offices/retail stores. No staff (unless you count the guys that cut your lawn because your to busy doing the fun stuff). No stock holding. No longer the commute to an office or place of work each day

Reduced taxation. (Please refer to tax adviser for appropriate country)

Because you are no running a business from home you benefit from certain tax advantages that you can apply to your income. This obviously varies from country to country. Car running expenses, a proportion of your utilities i.e. heating and lighting, entertainment reclaiming of tax on goods purchased, offsetting the cost of capitol items i.e. computers , printers ,cars etc. are a few example of allowances that you might be able to claim for.

Main benefits

Income.

You set your pay structure and have no caps/ceilings on what you can earn if its 6 or 7 figures per year you decide. What would you do with a six figure a month income.

When you work.

Within certain parameters you decide when you work. And with an internet based business if you like to work in the middle of the night, just build your business in other time zones. Make your alarm clock redundant

Where you work.

As long as you have an internet connection you can work from any location in the world. So lets say you like to ski winter you might work in Vail or Val D’isere for the winter and beach summer you could live Barbados or Hayman in Australia. Or it might mean being able to move across town to that house of your dreams.

What would you do.

Having time and money freedom gives you a lot of choices. Would you play more golf, spend more time with the family, do something with a charity or with the church. Move house, change car put your children into a different school, take up new hobbies I’m sure you are getting the point.

These are just a few benefits of doing something for yourself.

But the greatest benefit that I see is being able to make a difference to other people. Can you imagine the buzz you get by helping other people achieve some if not all of the above and it’s by helping other that you too will get these rewards.

You will have some challenges when setting up your business, not everything will go your way. Getting rid of your boss or bank manager and helping other do the same is just life changing to find out more information on setting up your home based business visit www.control1nslife.com

Question: Help with claiming for tax Deductible Expenses?

Hi,
I’m an NHS junior doctor, working in the UK , and I’m trying to apply for tax deductible expenses. I have no experience in money / tax related matters, and in terms of documentation, I have most (but not all) of my payslips as well as some P60 and P45 forms from various Hospitals I have worked in I have heard that this can be done by myself rather that pay for an accountant to do this.. Is this true? Would an accountant be able to get me more money (even though this may be offset by their fees) since they know exactly what they are doing and I’m essentially doing this for the first time from scratch?
I’m hoping to include professional medical examinations, revision courses, revision materials (books and DVDs) as well as a personal computer in my expenses (the use of a PC is essential for me as I need to store on it medical training data). Any tips to help me make a good case for my expenses would greatly be appreciated. Many thanks for your help and guidance.

Answer: I’d recommend using an accountant.
Professional examination costs are not deductible.
