My husband is a self employed Electrician, but is now taken on a young boy as an apprentice going to college 1day a week. Should we be looking at upgrading our package we are using? We are on the basic package for self employed sole trader?

Hi there, @1call.

Allow me to share some details about handling your subscription in regards to the apprentice your husband got the service from.

This will depend on how you're husband is registered to HMRC. If he's registered as Self-Employed, consider your apprentice as a vendor when paying. However, if you need to submit payroll taxes for your apprentice, you have to change your subscription to QuickBooks Online.

If you plan to change your subscription, I'd recommend getting a back-up file to move it to QuickBooks Online. For more information, please check out this article: Switch from QuickBooks Self-Employed to QuickBooks Online.

I'll be here if you have other questions with migrating to QuickBooks Online. I'd be happy to help you further. Take care always.
