Receipts from before you start your business?

[JemmaB]

I'm not going to be starting my business until 29th July but have been buying stock for the past few months.
I'm going to be using an accounting book (yellow one?) And it gives you a list for stock but for the week that you work.
So where do I write in all the receipts for previous months?

I had that situation when I started up
On my first day of trading, I made an entry in the account book of the total amount that I had already spent.
I then attached an itemised list of all the stock receipts on a separate sheet of paper.
Your accountant will sort it out.

I'm doing my own account though 🙈

I'm doing my own too, it's my first self assesment time and I was wondering how to input the pre start recipts?

 

[JulesLondon]

As far as I've read they count as 'pre start-up costs' and will count (although I haven't done a self assessment yet so can't be certain!) Just make sure you total the costs up and keep all receipts!
