    Tax Q (and yes I should know the answer) - as this is my first year under self assessment rules and Revenue say you must pay 100% of your previous year liability or 90% of current year. Since I've no previous year liability, does this mean I do and pay nothing until my full 2012 return is submitted next year?!

    Probably, yes.

    This time next year you will probably be paying 2012 tax and preliminary tax for 2013, so it's worth putting something aside so that the double whammy in twelve months doesn't come as a big shock.

    You pay for the previous year, if you are only two months trading then you wont be filing till next October and it will be for whatever months you were running this year and then preliminary tax for 2013's bill
