Depending on what business you are in it is worth noting a detail pointed out to me by MIKI an ex Forum Member.The first year for our CdH ,we registered for the complete tax year and nearly had a heart attack over the extra cotisations. We used to tick over April till June then full July/August and part Sept and then close. The info imparted by MIKI,bless him, was that we could register for April 1st start the CdC  and  deregister at the end of Sept.This saved us more than half of the previous years extras. We visit the CdC register for I think 55e,they will do all the paperwork required to the other depts for an extra 50e and save you a lot of paperwork and it's all dealt with on the day.We are now in the non-paying B&B business as in family and old friends only.

Hi Gastines, thanks for the info.  When I registered, the guy from ursaff came round to my house to discuss cotisations etc, when he did the first calculations, I nearly fell through the floor, then started laughing with the shock !!!  Anyway, he said I could sign a declaration for approx. turnover this yr and my cotisations were calculated on that, this was a much lower payment.  However, he also pointed out that if I went over my estimated turnover for the yr, then I would have to make a one off payment for the difference also if I didn't make my estimated turnover, they would refund the difference.  He said I could also do the same for next yr until it 'balances' itself out.  Payment wise, it is a much better way for me as the costisation payment is more in line with my estimated turnover and not with their set model.  As I am open all yr round, I don't think the register/de register system would work for me, but thanks again for the info, its worth bearing in mind should the business look like its only going to be in peak season.
