Salary Sacrifice – Tax Advantages
Having children is all about sacrifice. I’m not just talking about your salary going on nappies and formula. Gone are the days when I could do what I wanted, when I wanted. Although to be honest even then I had to get permission from Mrs TTF first. I have an email alert set up to inform … Read more
Tax Relief for Shed or Garage Conversion
SHED CONVERSION One of the benefits of having a garden in the country is that it comes with a shed. This might not mean a lot to my adoring women readers (I’m sure there are lots!) but the macho men amongst you are probably nodding your heads in agreement. A shed is a place that … Read more
2013 Highlights of Budget – Baby Budgets
I keep seeing adverts on the Internet promising that you can lose weight with one simple rule. Well I’m going to give you one simple rule to double your turnover. Just put the word Baby in front of your products. I read somewhere that the cost of raising a child to the age of 21 is … Read more
Budgeting for the Beer Fund
Ahead of the budget on 20 March 2013 I thought I would update a story that does the rounds every so often . Hopefully it will get you thinking about the rates of tax and the difficult decisions that need to be made. I would credit the person who originally came up with this story but, as I’m … Read more
Should I Trade Through a Company? – Limited Parenting Skills
As a father sometimes I feel limited in my ability to look after the kids. This could be likened to the fancy dress shop owner in Nuzzle and Scratch when he sends them out for sponge fingers (if you haven’t got kids just role with it). A bit of a disaster but everything turns out … Read more
Taxation of Employee Awards – Recognising Hard Work
It’s half term so I thought I would take the week off to give Mrs TTF a break from looking after Jabo (#1 son) and Baby Jarvis (#2 son). Volunteering to be a stay at home Dad for the week seemed like a great idea. Lots of brownie points whilst playing with Lego. What could go … Read more
5 Tax Tips for Married Couples – Love and Taxes
It’s the day that most men dread. No not changing a nappy for the first time but Valentine ’s Day. A day of stress for the Husband as they play the age old guessing game of whether “I don’t want any fuss” translates to a) please shower me in rose petals and luxury oils or b) feel free … Read more
Tax Relief for Work Uniforms – Not Fancy-Dressing it Up
I’ve always been partial to dressing up. For those of you with a dirty mind, this is a parenting blog so stop it! The mention of a stick on moustache or novelty wig has always got my party started. Mrs TTF, on the other-hand, would rather stay bare than don a nurse’s uniform (you’ve got me … Read more
Company Car Tax – Micra Mania!
Regular readers will know my beloved Audi A5 is currently being repaired. Because Audi parts are as fragile and expensive as a faberge egg the insurance company are dragging their heels. In the meantime I have been supplied with a Nissan Micra which is erm different. Obviously I’m not expecting the A5 and the Micra … Read more
Taxation of Insurance Proceeds – Help Snow Tax Brakes!
Like most men I think I could give Lewis Hamilton a run for his money in the driving stakes. So I would imagine that Lewis would also have crashed (sounds dramatic doesn’t it) in to a road sign if faced with the same bad weather conditions. Imagine the scene. An Arctic wind had blown a … Read more
