You know at the end of the Year when your Accountant says bring in your books and you take him the shoebox full of invoices, well that's book-keeping.

Oh hang on you probably use the Ken Dodd system, pay up if caught.
i plead insanity.
 
Just saying hello. I've joined this group to seek advice as I am new to this lark. I'm doing bookkeeping for an electrician
Not sure how to pose questions in the correct format but my first question is.
If as a sub contractor my son pays mileage to his sub contractors. Then who claims the fuel used in the actual receipts that they purchase, them or him, or no one ?

the sub contractors will claim for fuel, same as their other vehicle costs. your son claims back for the allowance that he's paid them, along with wages.
 
Thanks for that. Should the mileage the subbies charge him be passed on by him to the customer like materials can be or is that pushing it. He does charge mileage out but only his own mileage for a call out etc
 
he charges the customer what he wants as long as they are willint to accept the quote. i'd not put it in as a separate item though.. some jobs are priced well and travel costs are covered with the labour charges, some might be underpriced.
 
Uw this is great getting answers instead of wondering...
Next, Should sub contractors getting paid hourly be paid for an hour lunch break. He pays them at the moment but I don't think he should. Any advice much appreciated. Should he maybe change it if he employs any new ones ?
 
Depends what the agreement's are, me I would agree a price and how much it costs the Subby to get there is down to him, how long has he been trading? not long?
