Estimated Tax

I'll help you understand why the tax rate is 0%, WBJ Designs.

Based on the HRMC, if your personal allowance is up to £11,850, the tax rate is 0%.

For self-employed workers, there are two types of National Insurance depending on their profits:

• Class 2 (Profits are £6,025 or more a year).
• Class 4 (Profits are £8,164 or more a year)

I'll share some articles so you'll have a better idea about tax rates and personal allowances:

• Income Tax rates
• National Insurance contributions
• SA103F Categories

You can get back to this thread if you have more questions. 

I'm also having this problem. Please see screenshot.

I have set my Tax Allowance to £12.500 (the allowance for 2019-2020) and as you can see, my earnings have exceeded this threshold, but my estimated tax is still showing as zero. 

This didn't happen last year, where my estimated tax was updated with every transaction - so this seems to be a bug in the system - please report it to technical guys or advise a way to fix it?

Cheers,

Gareth

Hello Gareth

Thanks for the Screenshot. We need to look into the account further. We need if possible your email address.Unfortunately as this Community is a public post it will redact this information.Currently the tool where we can find this information in the background is not allowing us access. Could you if possible PM QuickBooks UK on either Facebook or Twitter with you email address and advise it is regarding estimated tax zero and we will look into this further for you.

Hello Gareth

We managed to get the details to look at the account. We have spoken with our engineers  and tested in a test version and we get the same result. After looking into this further we have found clicking on the estimated tax figure would usually send you into the taxes section and the tax summary

For the moment to view  the actual figure if you go to the taxes tab on the left  hand side and you will see the income tax figure within the Self Assessment summary.

Could you reply back with a screen shot of the taxes page as well showing the tax figure and what we will do is raise and escalation with our engineers to see if we can get this changed.

Hi,

I'm new to Quickbooks.

It seems that I'm having the same issues.

I have come from a full-time job to self-employed. I have put in all my details for the Tax Profile, but Estimated tax is showing £0. 

Can you help me, please?

Thanks

Thanks for joining this conversation, BrentCrouch.

It's possible that the net income has a greater amount than the business income. Using simplified expenses, your self-employment taxes are base on the following:

• Projections based on your recorded business-related income and spending.
• Allowable expenses.
• The information you have set up in your Tax Profile.

Just make sure to categorize your transactions correctly so you'll have an accurate estimated taxes. Also, you can review the information entered in your Tax Profile settings. Please refer to this article for more insights: How we calculate estimated tax payments.

I also suggest consulting your accountant for further guidance in selecting the proper categories for your transactions.
