can some explain to me please what preliminary tax returns are?
My husband is classed as a self employed sole trader (basically his boss says he has to do his own tax returns).
Anyway Oct 2009 was his first yr doing his returns which he done through an accountant for the tax yr jan 08 to dec 08. Accountant advised us that his tax returns for jan 09 to dec 09 would need to be paid by 31 oct 2010. However this morning my husband got a letter from the revenue saying he has to pay his preliminary tax returns. Havent a clue what this is & if its mandatory? My husband is on 25k a yr so we are barely scarapping by & couldnt afford to pay his whole tax returns for the year 6 months early! can anyone explain please what we are expected to do? I am a stay at home mum so no clue on taxes etc
many thanks
