Hi...Again.
First time tax return....HELP! (please)
I am have been recording my bank interest (net) in my sales book under 'other income' throughout the year.....
I am completing my SA paperwork partnership return box 3.29. "sales/business income (turnover)"
Does this income relate solely to the invoices I have issued and monies banked ...........or do I also need to add net interest and refunds etc?
I am assuming that interest paid by the bank, although recorded as 'other income' does not count as taxable at year end as it is not a sale & I have been taxed already and have the deduction certificate.......
In short ...
All receipts 'minus' net interest received 'minus' Refunds received = Sales business income /turnover.
If anyone understand this I'll be amazed!
Thanks again...Tweedledumbest

As interest is counted as revenue you need to declare this.
This can be shown as an accounting adjustment although there is provision for this to be correctly shown in the tax return.
Interest and Refunds need to be shown
All receipts 'minus' net interest received 'minus' Refunds received = Sales business income /turnover.
