Peter sellers replied to Peter sellers's discussion Making tax digital

"Good point about having a crystal ball re turnover. Like you say what can they do about it!"

Sam Bainbridge replied to Peter sellers's discussion Making tax digital

"Oh right i run as a partnership to help the tax that's what he would be meaning
