----------
Does the thought of completing your self-assessment tax return fill you full of dread every January? Do you struggle to figure out how much you can borrow if you want to buy a house, and how you can possibly afford to save for a distant retirement at the same time as paying all of the bills that need to be paid today?
This workshop with Fergus Muirhead will take you through the best way to manage your money as a self-employed musician.
There will be lots of practical tips to help you keep your tax affairs up to date, including how to fill out a tax return, what can you claim as expenses, payments on account, and how to ensure you can save enough to pay your tax bill on time.
He will also look at pensions and savings more generally, how to budget effectively, and how to make sure that you don’t end up paying too much interest on any debt that you have to take on.
